So while the teams have much to play for in the final weeks of the season before the greatest postseason in sports gets underway, who are the players who could be collecting some hardware at the NHL awards show this offseason?
The Hart Trophy race is the most interesting race in more than a decade with no forward separating himself from the rest of the pack and running away with the scoring lead, so there’s plenty of candidates who you can make the case for them winning.
With no clear favorite from the skaters, could this be the first time a goalie wins the award since Jose Theodore in 2003-2004?
Some awards are easier to predict than others like the Maurice Richard Trophy but others are the exact opposite like the Norris Trophy where there are five or six candidates who are deserving of taking the honors as the league’s top defenseman.
The voters have some tough decisions to make, but without further ado, let’s take a look at the predictions for the NHL’s major awards that will be handed out in Las Vegas on June 24.
