Calder Race

[Pinto]

Mathew Stajan has been the leafs best forward in limited minutes with 3 points in 6 games. An intelligent playmaker with great speed who excels on faceoffs. He'll get a chance to play with Sundin and Mogilny later in the season.

I hope he does play With Mats and Alex, hes one helluva passer

 

[Unthinkable]

1) Michael Ryder - looks like he has all the skills to be an eventual four or five tool player in this league. Big hits, big plays, big hockey sense. Has the more well rounded skill and toughness which Bergeron lacks.
2) Marc-Andre Fleury - someone forgot to tell him he's still a teenager competing against the best in the world.
3) Eric Staal - should put up the points if he plays with O'Neill for most of the year.

As of now....

So far the top 3:

1- MA-Fleury
2- Patrice Bergeron
3- Dan Hamhuis

i tend to agree with you on this one.... King could also be considered for number 3 with hammy...

 

[DJ Spinoza]

Fleury's got my vote so far, although I haven't seen any other players play too much or at all.

How he plays is what this team will be. He keeps them in games and continues to stay solid and make all the remarkable saves.

It's a shame we don't have a forward in serious contention for this too. Or any forward in contention for any type of reward.

Which prospect of your team have the most chance to win the Calder Trophy


For montreal : Michael Ryder ( LW ) , Watch this guy he is awesome .

The only glaring mistake I've seen from him so far is when he hit his own teammate by accident and even that was pretty exciting stuff. He is just what your team needs right now. A guy who can do it all and never once look out of place despite the lack of NHL experience.

My vote goes to Bergeron. Plays (effectively) in all situations for the Bruins. He looks great so far.

 

[Yayo]

By the way, Canucks rookie forward, Jason King's stats:

5 GP, 3 Goals, 2 assists, 5 points, +4, 4 PIM's

King has played six games.

Orpik has been impressive too...

He looked like total crap today against NJ. Totally worthless, should have been benched.

Doesn't take anything away from the great start he's had. One bad game...

 

[Don'tcry4mejanhrdina]

Orpik has NO chance of winning the Calder. I'm sorry to say it since Jackman won it last year, but a stay at home defenceman on a bad team doesn't have a chance.

Thats one mans opinion.

 

[Muddy Wilbury]

Pitkanen... hands down.

i think he might get some competition from a couple of dmen in Nashville .

Like who?

 

[Jovavic]

Like who?

Hamhuis, and if he wasn't too old, Zidlicky.

Hamhuis, and if he wasn't too old, Zidlicky.

Yeah, I also think Spezza would have a chance if he hadnt played to many games.

 

[Jared Ramsden]

POS NO. PLAYER GP G A PTS +/- PIM
C 49 *Lombardi, Matthew 6 2 2 4 1 2

He should merit a little consideration with his strong early season play....he's playing on the top line with Iginla right now, and has been one of the most consistent guys for the Flames so far....

I never said he'd win the Calder !
