When was the last time we even had somebody compete for the Calder?
The only person in recent memory would have ended up on Buffalo's ballot

I don't think it has died at all. Thank god Bolland isn't there anymore though. Lu is still here and Kane is still on the other side so the rivalry will live on. Plus DKeith is still there...
ohlund was second in calder voting to samsonov, i think? ****ing bruins.
anyways, stanton is a long ways away from getting a single calder vote. think you guys might be getting a bit carried away

His nickname should be Ryan Stanchion. He would immediately make Juice into an elite defenseman.

he almost moved Tanev for VAN's 3rd (from ANA, they had in the Lappiere trade) unwillingly the day of the Booth trade
I am going to say it: Gerald Diduck lite.
Where's this from? Never heard that before.
I loved Diduck. Great wheels, aggressive hitter, and super low expectations thus a pleasant surprise. If he had any accuracy on his shot he'd have been an all star. But as it was, he was a really good piece for the Canucks on their early 90s rebuilt. Quinn was flipping picks for Diduck, Lumme, Dirk... he got a little cocky with it though and gambled that he could replace Ronning and Adams and Brown, and then the team went to pieces.
Impressive play since the first game of the season, can't ask more from your number 6 guy. He's very patient with the puck and makes very smooth plays. Apparently he can scrap too!
I thought he deserved on of these.
Thank you Blackhawks
Also 4 points on the season already.
If Stanton continues his strong play, I don't see how Corrado will ever crack this lineup.

Speculation based on wanting to make Weber an offer sheet.
it's more than speculation, I have it on good authority, and no it wasn't for a Weber offer sheet.
It was VAN's 3rd for Tanev (ANA backed out, the deal was on the table) right after the Booth deal so that VAN would offer sheet Kyle Turris and then move Hodgson, Raymond, one of Ballard or Bieksa and multiple first round picks and other prospects for Weber

I like that Stanton was paired with bieksa in practice. It's a good "cop" pairing that can also push the puck up the ice. If Stantons play isn't a mirage, he really bolsters our blueline depth.
Now Torts just needs to get Garrison back with Hamhuis and Tanev back with Edler and he'll have things right.
