Pettersson’s a great talent but it was a little ridiculous earlier on this season when there was serious discussion that he should be above MacKinnon and only behind McDavid as top young players. I saw multiple comments that they wouldn’t trade him one for one for McDavid due to contracts, too. So, yeah, I think it’s absolutely fair to say he’s overrated.EP is crazy overrated. The guy got neither 30 goals (while shooting a crazy 19.4%) nor did he get 70 points as a 20 year old, with 70.5% Ozone starts. Dahlin put up 44 points as an 18 year old on a crappy Sabres squad, while having a 98 PDO. With any bit of luck, Dahlin probably could have put up 50 points this season. This is a no-brainer for me.
I looked back at when Andrew Hammond went on his tear in 2014-15; he didn't get votes for the Calder because he wasn't eligible [can't turn 26 before September 15 of the season in which the award is voted for], but he ended up getting votes for both the Hart [one vote for 4th, 6 votes for 5th] and Vezina .
For 23 starts. No idea if he would have bumped Ekblad for the Calder, or Stone or Gaudreau as finalists, but that should give people an idea of how much weight some voters are willing to give to someone's outstanding performance where they only played part of the season [because they weren't in the NHL for the rest of it]. Not saying that Binnington will win it, but anyone thinking he won't be in the mix as a finalist might want to re-think that.

This is the correct answerPettersson, Dahlin, Binnington.
20-1-2, 1.79, .941 if we're being totally, totally nit-picky. My comment about 23 starts was more in reference to complaints from a handful of people about "30 games isn't enough to be considered for an award." Clearly, for a few voters around the league a few years back, just 23 [plus another in relief where he played just over a period] was more than enough to get consideration.Hammond went 21-1 with a SVP of .941 and a gaa of 1.72
28 G 66P in 71GP, he wouldve had both 30G and 70P as a rookie..... and somehow thats overrated. Gotcha.EP is crazy overrated.

It's fine to think that Pettersson is overrated (some posters were definitely overrating him, and his incredibly hot start made it hard to really pin down his ceiling).Dahlin
Binnington
Heiskanen
Pettersson's overrated
He was ice cold for the last 20 games. I wouldn't count on either numbers.28 G 66P in 71GP, he wouldve had both 30G and 70P as a rookie..... and somehow thats overrated. Gotcha.

Pettersson won it months ago. The battle is for second.
