A week ago, we thought it might be a good idea to get a jump on the NHL’s post-season awards races and project the men who should be the winners.

But these may not be projections. With the earth-moving events of the past week, this might be it. We don’t know if there will be any more games in the 2019-20 season — never mind regular season games — so what you see here may be what you get.

Whatever the case, we present to you our beliefs on who should be handed these individual trophies — whenever and wherever that happens.

Hart Trophy

Leon Draisaitl, Edmonton Oilers – He may benefit from playing alongside the world’s most electric player – Connor McDavid – but there is no denying the season that the German is having is perhaps a career year. He’s running away with the Art Ross Trophy as the league’s points leader and leads all forwards in icetime at well with over 22 minutes a game. The Oilers, considered something of a soul-less if talented team before the season started, are fully ensconced in a playoff spot and Draisaitl is a big reason why. Points are not the only thing in hockey, but when you outdistance the field like Draisaitl has, there’s really no reason to look too far afield.

Runners-up

Artemi Panarin, New York Rangers — Though the Panarin acquisition was a big-splash signing, the Blueshirts were expected to be still in the lower stages of a rebuild. Panarin helped accelerate that.

David Pastrnak, Boston Bruins — Here’s hoping the league plays a couple of regular season games so Pastrnak gets a chance to hit 50 goals.

Norris Trophy

Roman Josi, Nashville Predators — Throughout all the Predators’ ups and downs this season, Josi has been a constant positive presence on the back end. Goalie Pekka Rinne has been good for a long time in the Music City, but his age has shown this year with an .895 save percentage. Juuse Saros has been better, but merely average. But thanks in large part to Josi’s workhorse efforts (he’s averaging almost 26 minutes a game), the Preds were just inside the playoff bracket when the season went dark.

Runners-up

John Carlson, Washington Capitals — We thought for years that Carlson had these capabilities and now he’s arrived close to the top of his profession. Many observers will have him over Josi because he has more points (75 to 65).

Victor Hedman, Tampa Bay Lightning — The Swede should be in this conversation for the foreseeable future.

Vezina Trophy (*voted on by the GMs)

Connor Hellebuyck, Winnipeg Jets — Dustin Byfuglien? Gone. Tyler Myers? Gone. Jacob Trouba? Gone. But the UMass-Lowell product is still there in that lovely Manitoba ’burg, and because of that, the Jets were still inside the playoff bracket. One of the few remaining workhorse goaltenders, Hellebuyck leads the league in shutouts (6) and maintained a solid .922 save percentage in 58 games, despite losing all that blueline experience in front of him. The Jets may have dropped down from the top tier of Cup contenders they were last season, but Hellebuyck kept them from bottoming out.

Runners-up

Tuukka Rask, Boston Bruins — On most nights when Rask is in the net, he is the best goalie in the world. If not for his relatively light work load, he’d run away with this.

Andrei Vasilevskiy, Tampa Bay Lightning — The netminder has been at the head of the Bolts’ charge up the standings after a slow start.

Calder Trophy

Cale Makar, Colorado Avalanche — You know that there must be something good happening in Amherst when you think that UMass kept Makar there not just one year but two. Despite missing a chunk of games this year due to injury, his 12-38-50 totals put him just three points behind rookie leader Quinn Hughes, who played 11 more games. Despite his smallish stature (5-11, 187) and baby face, Makar is a player you notice every time he’s on the ice, and for all the right reasons. He’s made a good Avs team a bona fide Stanley Cup contender. One day he should be mentioned with the Hedmans, Josis and Drew Doughtys as a perennial Norris candidate.

Runners-up

Elvis Merzlikins, Columbus Blue Jackets — New Jersey’s Mackenzie Blackwood has played more and nailed down more wins, but Merzlikins saved the Blue Jackets’ season against incredible odds. Not only were the Jackets decimated by free agent departures to start, they were crushed by injuries like no other team. We thought their latest and most significant loss, Seth Jones, would snap the camel’s back, but thanks to Merzlikins (2.35 GAA, .923 save percentage), the Jackets were still in a playoff spot.

Dominik Kubalik, Chicago Blackhawks — Will he be able to maintain his 19.1% shooting percentage his whole career? Who cares? Thirty goals is an estimable plateau to hit for any player.

Selke Trophy

Sean Couturier, Philadelphia Flyers — Couturier has become one of the premier two-way players in the league, excelling in both traditional and fancy stats. With the guidance of new coach Alain Vigneault, the rest of the once helter-skelter Flyers have moved in the same direction as Couturier. Having good goaltending helps, too, and the Flyers have gotten that for change, but Couturier is developing into the kind of heart and soul player that a certain fellow Quebecois has been in Boston for the past decade.

Runners-up

Patrice Bergeron, Boston Bruins — Had Bergeron not missed nine games, he’d get the vote here for a record fifth Selke. While his linemates (Brad Marchand and David Pastrnak) play with a conscience as well, they take a lot of chances to be the offensive players they are. Bergeron makes it all work.

Anthony Cirelli, Tampa Bay Lightning — He’ll be a handful for the B’s top line should these two teams meet again.

Jack Adams Trophy (voted on by league broadcasters)

John Tortorella, Columbus Blue Jackets — Merzlikins blossoming certainly helped, but Tortorella is responsible for placing that giant chip with which the Jackets play on their shoulders. Already undermanned from the free agent departures, Columbus suffered myriad injuries to important players. Tortorella’s team gave the B’s all they could handle last spring and, though they would surely be underdogs if they played Boston in a series, it would not be as easy an out as some may think. Attitude can go a long way in this sport, and Tortorella’s has instilled a dogged one.

Runners-up

Bruce Cassidy, Boston Bruins — Despite the crushing loss in Game 7 last June that could have sent this team into an emotional tailspin, Cassidy’s had the B’s in first place since the drop of the puck in September. He’s got a great leadership core, but he’s had to be creative in the composition of his bottom nine forwards.

Mike Sullivan, Pittsburgh Penguins — The Pens hit a rough patch recently, but his team has withstood serious injuries to remain a Cup hopeful.
