the 1947 agreement should be abrogated for the duration of the time that the NHL does not compete. I agree with that whole heartedly.
It would also serve to remind us that the trophy is an indelible part of the canadian psyche and tradition, not a mere trapping of foreign controlled corporatism. I say there should be a triage of the awarding of the trophy, defaulting to the NHL when it is actually playing hockey, but being defaulted by the NHL when they are not.
At which point it should be awarded as it was before 1947.
