I disagree, even though I want to agree. The Cup is presented by the NHL who is represented by Gary. Former legends represent themselves, or in some cases the club who won, so it doesn't make much sense to have them present it.
I do wish the NHL included their legends a bit more in some capacity, like the Bruins & Habs do.
As an aside, I have to change the channel at the end of the superbowl because I think it's so stupid to present the trophy to the owner first. OK I get it, the owner pays the players. But the QB and/or MVP and/or team Captains should receive it first. They are the ones that did the work. Gear grinder.
