I would have to say Schremp before that guy.

I don't know about dominating. My problem with Brule is if he's not scoring a ton of points, he's either in the penalty box, or completely invisible. Plus, I'm not sure his body can handle his style of play translated into the NHL. He could really just as easily be Len Barrie at the NHL level, as he could another Kariya.He didnt just dominate the WHL, but look at his body of work at the Memorial Cup. He was the best player at that tournament hands down. Hes the best forward prospect in my eyes following Malkin. I cant say Ill miss him beating up on Spokane like he did but he was sure fun to watch.
Don't be silly, Kostitsyn has very poor chances of winning the Calder. Barring injuries, he's likely to spend most of the season in Hamilton.
I wonder if Matt Carle is still eligible, he might have a good season.
My out-of-left-field prediction for the Calder : Braydon Coburn
It took until post #74 to mention Carle. I would have but I just got here. I'm 99% positive he's eligible for the Calder. Alaskan bias here, but I see him having a good chance because of the team he plays for. He'll pick up a lot of PP assists.
