If you don't include the WCHA, Bill Masterton played one season in the NHL. They're not going to change the name of that trophy. Now, there are obviously other circumstances the led to Masterton having the trophy named after him (RIP Masterton you went too soon), but that doesn't mean we're going to change the award name to the Stan Bowman award now that he has spent more of his time dedicated to hockey.

I do understand though, I don't know who Scott Stevens was in SHL and I don't think I'll ever care to except because of the award. But I don't think that means we should change the award name.

“Fun” fact: my pops was at the game masterton died at
