Who will win the Calder this season?

[MinJaBen]

Warren "McLovin" Foegele

 

[Harmonica1]

NA player = NA player
EU player = EU player
NA or EU player = NA player

So we're just throwing our team's rookie names now? Some of the latest suggestions have no chance in hell.

 

[Mister Ed]

Kyrou, Dahlin and Mittelstadt are my picks.

Rasmussen has a chance for Detroit. Big kid who knows who to score.

 

[Toene]

Pettersson, Dahlin, Svechnikov are my projected finalists.

For those saying Kotkaniemi, I really hope so, but next year. He's still so raw, let him go back to Liiga and play 1st center for Assat Pori under his father, the headcoach. He'll get spoonfed opportunities to develop and dominate. If the best drafted prospect in the world (EP) benefited from another year overseas, same should apply for Kot-kot-kot-niemi

 

[Zalos]

Is Svechnikov really going to play a lot this year? Is he making the team? I am seriously curious.

A lot of people are forgetting Kotkaniemi.

[tony d]

Svechnikov or Dahlin.

 

[DudeWhereIsMakar]

Elias Pettersson is my vote.
I do think Brady Tkachuk could win it or be a finalist, same with Svechnikov.
Vesalainen if he makes the Jets final roster might be an off-the-radar non-darkhorse pick.
Big Darkhorse vote is probably Nicolas Hague.

 

[stampedingviking]

Pettersson then Svechnikov then Heiskanen

Going to be hard for Pettersson without any support in Vancouver, especially if Horvat/Boeser are kept together.

 

[winnipegger]

I was not aware of how good Pettersson is. He is very good. I could see 50 - 60 points and Calder.

 

[greasysnapper]

Steel, had a super quiet preseason but I liked what he showed.


HMs: Chytil, Petterson, Svechnikov, Hintz, Heiskenen, Joseph/Volkov/Cirelli/Erne <-- Basically whichever one of the Lightning prospects stick on a scoring line.

 

[mattydamon]

Going to be hard for Pettersson without any support in Vancouver, especially if Horvat/Boeser are kept together.

He may not be on that line but that could help with matchups, he will more than likely play on the 2nd line. He will however be on PP1 and get a ton of chances playing with Brock and co on that unit - I expect him to put up lots of points on the PP.

 

[Damisoph]

Pettersson

 

[LamorielloAndSon]

I was really hoping for a battle between Petterson and bellows for it but for some reason bellows didn’t make it even though there is no time table for Ladd and h was the isles best winger in the preseason

Hague was sent down to the AHL. You expect him to be called up and be productive?

 

[The Kingslayer]

Kyrou.

 

[JerseyMike34]

Not eligible by 3 games. But if he gets the Ice Time, I've really liked what I've seen from Neal Pionk

 

[GoJetsGo55]

Dahlin

 

[DudeWhereIsMakar]

Hague was sent down to the AHL. You expect him to be called up and be productive?

Sounds like Kyle Connor.

 

[42]

Sounds like Kyle Connor.

And Conner did not win the Calder that year nor did he come close. Hague being a defenceman will have an even steeper hill to climb given the competition.

 

[Panthaz89]

Surprised this isn't a poll.

 

[OregonCanuck]

Elias Pettersson and by atleast 10 points

 

[MrSnrub]

Is Dahlin a lock, or will he be seriously challenged?

 

[Sweetpotato]

I think due to it being really hard to win as a dman the odds are against Dahlin, but he's very special non the less. I don't know this year's crop well enough tho so...
