Calder Finalists: Barzal (NYI), Boeser (VAN), Keller (ARIZ).

Just a very shrewd move by the Oilers after getting mcdavid to trade the 16 and 32nd picks in that draft year for Griffin freaking reinhart. Could have been one of the best draft years of all time for one team.

Still is one of the best draft years of all time.

Who was the last Isle to win a major award? Peca? That was like 15 years ago.

Doug Weight won the King Clancy Memorial Trophy in 2010-11. If you don't consider that a major award it was indeed Michael Peca, in 2001-02.

Terrific rookie crop.

Barzal will win. Justifiably so with a historic 85 pt season, best rookie year in 11 years.
Boeser will finish second, with an excellent shortened season.

So many players worth mentioning for 3rd along with Keller.

Connor
Hischier
Gourde
Debrincat
Butcher
McAvoy
Debrusk
Sergachev
Heinen
Kerfoot
Dubois

This was a steller crop of rookies. One of the strongest in recent times.

That is quite the list when you see it laid out like that.

Surprised McAvoy didn't make it into the final 3.

 

[Regal]

Best player on a bad team, franchise marks for goals, assists and points for a rookie.

Only since moving to Arizona. Selanne holds the franchise marks

Surprised McAvoy didn't make it into the final 3.

My guess is combination of not enough offense coupled with missing 19 games

Barzal will win by a mile. Had both guys been healthy all year I think it would have been an insanely close vote.

Ummm, Keller did play the whole 82 games season.

Still Barzal wins.

Boeser would be my choice if there was no Barzal.

I think the only question this year is will Barzal get 100% first place votes? I think he will unless a voter is trying to be too creative and is just looking for a reason to not put Barzal on top. Simply no reason not to vote for him here.

The votes will be public this year. Could eliminate the troll factor.

Barzal will win this, and deservedly so. Best rookie season since Malkin's 85 pt season.

Barzal wins it ...
