The finalists for ten NHL Awards will begin being revealed on Tuesday at 11 a.m. CDT on NHL.com. This will be an exciting time for Predator fans as it is expected that the Preds could have a record four finalist with Pekka Rinne for the Vezina, Shea Weber for the Norris, David Poile for GM of the Year, and Barry Trotz for the Jack Adams.
Trotz was a finalist last year in the Adams voting and finished second to the Coyotes Dave Tippett. David Poile was also in the final three last season for the GM award but it was not a part of the awards show in the award's first year.
The Predators only trophy winner was Steve Sullivan winning the Masterton two years ago after he came back from a two year layoff to continue his career.
