He should be the Calder winner but the noise has been all Beniers all season, especially with the severely out of touch US based eastern hockey media who believe everything in Edmonton is tainted because of the so called McDavid effect.
Seravali said Skinner is getting his vote so it will be interesting I see how many others feel the same.Matt Murray went 32-10-4 with 2.41 GAA and .923 save percentage in his rookie season and only finished 4th, so I'm doubtful he wins, but could make the nomination cut off. That said, Murray had tougher competition with Matthews (40 goals), Laine (36 goals) and Werenski (47 points as a rookie dman)
It would be funny if this factored in considering everyone likes to say McDavid is trash defensively, but now he's the reason a rookie goalie is having a good year.

He probably should be in the conversation if only because the rookie class this year is so pedestrian. His numbers don’t really jump out as Calder worthy in other years.
It seems like it’s been Matty Berniers predestined to win it the whole year though regardless of if he deserves it or not.
Eberle.... pumps up Barzal's value before being found expendable (Barzal settles down a little)Bah! Beniers is just a function of Eberle!
My thoughts exactly.I prefer if Skinner was the Stanley Cup winner rather than the Calder winner.
I was going to say, I'd settle for a Conn Smyth rather than Calder. If he's has a great playoff run, I have hard time seeing Edmonton being knocked out.I prefer if Skinner was the Stanley Cup winner rather than the Calder winner.
