Kaprizov's to lose imho
Where would you guys like to see the line drawn? I think players playing in the KHL and other pro men's leagues should have a reasonable cutoff. Why have it in the eligibility requirements if you are just going to ignore it?
That also means Romanov, Sorokin, Suter and Hoglander would all be ineligible. Romanov and Sorokin played more than 2 seasons in the KHL, Suter more than a couple seasons in the Swiss League, Hoglander more than a couple seasons in the Swedish League.
It would turn into only North American players then...
Eligibility: To be eligible for the Calder Memorial Trophy, a player cannot have played more than 25 games in any single preceding season nor in six or more games in each of any two preceding seasons in any major professional league. Beginning in 1990-91, a player must not have attained his 26th birthday by Sept.
What leagues are considered "major professional leagues"? Why even have this verbiage if there are currently no other leagues that are considered. Was this only in there for Gretzky? I think the WHA was the only league that was ever considered to nullify eligibility right?

Are there any other funny quirks like this that are written in the rules but totally ignored?
