Seeing two Russian names mentioned in a thread about "best defensemen", even for a rookie, fills my heart with warmth
Has to be him imo.

Matheson.
The table is set. He just needs to step-up.
If Ryan Pulock is eligible, he has a chance. He could score a lot of PP goals with that cannon.
Plenty of forwards have a good shot.
Auston Matthews
Patrik Laine
Mitchell Marner
William Nylander
Dylan Strome
Jesse Puljujarvi
Vesey
etc.
Any thoughts on which defensemen - if any - would have a chance of winning the Calder?
Provorov
Werenski
Zaitsev
He could be the best rookie but I'm not sure he will get the pp time or points needed..yandle and ekblad will probably dominate pp time maybe some demers too.. I just don't see the opportunity... maybe same problem with proverov too? If I have to pick a d I have to say Zaitsev
Matheson.
Not just saying that because I'm a Panthers' fan. It will either be sink or swim with him. If it's swim, he will be getting minutes like a veteran. The Panthers set the situation up like this, they have no choice.
