The NHL Awards have been around for quite a while, some of the most prized ones have been around most of the time the NHL has been, but there were no awards for the first 6 seasons. In this article I will go back and look at who most likely wins each award in the years before its first time being awarded. I will not being doing the Willie O’Ree, Jack Adams, and GM of the Year because I’m looking at player awards. I will also not do the Masterton and King Clancy because they aren’t necessarily for play during the season. Also, these are all my picks when looking back at the statistic available via hockey-reference.com. The only awards that we know for certain are the Art Ross, William M Jennings, and Maurice Richard since they are exclusively just stat awards.

Vezina
The Vezina has a weird history. The initial criteria for it was vague as it was either for the most valuable goalie or for the goalie with the best goals against average (GAA). Then from 1946-1981 it was announced it would go to the goalies on the team with the fewest goals against. At first it was awarded to the goaltender with more games played on the team, then it was awarded to each goalie on the team who played at least 25 games. Then that became the Jennings and the Vezina was for the best goalie. For this, I’m going to award it to the best goalie.

Calder
I will not use the current age limit as this was before Makarov. The actual trophy wasn’t given out until the conclusionof the 1936-37 season, but rookie of the year honors were handed out 4 seasons before that starting with the 1932-33 season. Also, 1917-18 will not have one as technically everyone was in their first NHL season.

Conn Smythe
In the beginning, the NHL adopted the NHA’s system of having the team that won the first half would play the team that won the 2nd half for the NHL Championship. This went on until 1924. Then in 1926 the NHL playoffs were the same as the Stanley Cup playoffs. There were no playoffs because the Ottawa Senators won both halves. This is only for the NHL playoffs. Until the 1926 playoffs, the O’Brien Trophy was awarded to the NHL Champion.

Pearson/Ted Lindsay
Awarded to the best player judged by his peers. Since I can’t ask any hockey players from this time, it’s kinda just me judging who the best player is using patterns found within who won other awards. It’s mostly one of the really big name players in the league. Excluding players not eligible, all but 2 winners are in the Hockey Hall of Fame.
