Calder Finalists 2019

[Gargyn]

If that's the case he's either buried behind Brown and Toffoli on RW or Kopitar and Carter at C. Top 6 minutes and top unit PP is pretty much mandatory. He'll need a few injuries to get there.

Well according to the lines thread Kings fans expect him to play with Carter. And Toffoli with Kempe.

I'm surprised they think so lowly of the 70's line. Seems like Toffoli would have the first crack at that spot, now that the line is healthy.

It's an outside shot now that JVR is back in Philly, but Lindblom is still technically eligible for the Calder. He's shown a distinct pattern of slow adaptation in his first year to an outright breakout in the next at practically every level.

The winning forward has paced less than 60 points once in last 20 years (Landeskog) seems like a strange time to take a step back given the emphasis on young forwards.

Hmm, thats surprising to me, good info though thanks.

It’s a hard one to predict.
How many picked Barzal before last year?
Boeser had a strong finish the year before but aside from some Canuck fans I’m not sure he was a favourite.
Keller? Same thing.
Last year may have been a bit bit of an anomaly as usually a highly touted draft pick wins it and other high picks are finalists.
Petterson seems like he will at least have a shot as there is no shortage of opportunity in Vancouver this year with the Sedins retiring.

Barzal and especially Keller were a popular choice before the season began.

Not a lot of people were on the Barzal train.

Actually, he'll have some legit linemates to rip it up with.

Calder is really hard to predict. I think it highly depends on what team the prospect is playing, how good they are and how much prime minutes said prospect receives. If BUF and CAR aren't tirefires next year Mittelstadt and Svechnikov have a good shot. Maybe even an outside guy like Yamamoto could score 60+ points and be a Calder nominee if he found chemistry with McDavid or Draisaitl. Dahlin could also be really good but it's hard for a defenseman to win the Calder and he's on a pretty terrible team so it seems very unlikely.
