Today a new report from an NHL insider has confirmed the league's plans to cancel a major event during the offseason. Not only will the league cancel the event this year but it could be scrapped altogether.

NHL Planning To Cancel Major Offseason Event

This afternoon a huge report from NHL insider Elliotte Friedman said that the league will be canceling one of the biggest events of the summer. According to Friedman, the league has plans to scrap the NHL Awards Show. Instead, they will present the awards during playoffs in front of fans.

Friedman on 32TP says he doesn't expect there to be much of an award show this year, they're talking about copying the NBA, where they award the trophy during the playoffs, either on game day or the day before, then the player gets rewarded with a big ovation in front of the fans

This would be a huge shift for the NHL which has marketed the NHL Awards as a big event on the summer calendar. With this change and the NHL Draft being decentralized the offseason seems much more empty for fans who enjoy the big spectacle-type events.
