Sportsnet's Elliotte Friedman discussed on The 32 Thoughts Podcast that the NHL could follow the NBA's lead by presenting awards during the playoffs. This means players would receive their trophies either on game days or the day before, with fans cheering them on.
Friedman doesn't anticipate a big award show this year either. It seems the NHL is considering a shift towards award presentations during playoff events, similar to the NBA.
Many support the idea of scrapping the NHL Awards altogether. They argue that the show has lost its appeal and viewership is declining. Additionally, players might prefer not having to attend an awards ceremony right at the start of their offseason.
