I have been EATING with how good this Calder Race is guys. MAN the future is bright!!
Let me know, who do YOU think has been the strongest rookie in the NHL so far? And who do YOU think will be the finalists by the end of the year? #GravGang
Over/under 3.5 rookies end up with 60+ points this year? 🤔
polling this earlier is insane like under 10 games, wait till the dust settles and see who really distances themselves
I need Pittsburgh to give Kindel some better linemates. His point total doesn’t match how good he’s looked, especially as an 18 year old
Demidov or Schaefer will win it . Both are superstars and franchise players.
Do you think Schaeffer’s production is sustainable considering he’s playing 25mins a night? I think he’ll hit a wall eventually. I believe once Demidov is on pp1; race’s over.
He is not a favorite but, no mention of the leading goal scorer? Oliver Kapanen.
It seems that Finnie will be an elite player in future
Sennecke for calder
Ryan Leonard looks great, but he's only getting 12:21 of ice time per game, and his linemates aren't that good. He's not getting top 6 minutes or top 6 linemates, and that's going to hurt his stats quite a bit. But he looks great. He is getting 1:12 per game of power play time per game, and that will definitely help (1 of his 3 goals is on the power play).
If they move him up to Dubois' line, that will really help his stats. He is good friends with Dubois off the ice, and I think they'd play well together, so maybe that will happen.
As a Habs fan I am happy with Hutson last year and now Dobes, Demidov and even Kapanen all playing well. It's good to see such progress and makes the players not panning out due to issues or injuries not sting as much.
It's Schaffer's to lose though, he is a level above right now.
Senneke and Finnie have been surprises. I don’t think anyone even saw them making their roster spots, let alone starting this strong.
Based on pure talent alone, I feel like Schaefer's a given so far. However, after last year when almost no one had the guy who ended up winning in their top 3 possible winners at the beginning of the season, I'm not trying to guess until March at the earliest lol. Still, I'm so excited for this Calder run this year because it's SO so so so fun to see so many rookies do so well. I genuinely hope the rookies all thrive (as long as they don't thrive too much in the games against MY team).
Appreciate you mentioning dobes. Hes been standing on his head this season
The youngest of them all and breaking records. Pretty mindnumbing, but Isles has been the perfect fit for both him and them.
If it comes down to a close scoring race between Demidov and Schaffer at the end of the season, it will depend on who's team makes the playoffs because of their contribution.
Frank Nazar needs his own video
Don’t think Silvos is Calder eligible did he he played way over 9 games in NHL would last year not have been his year to be eligible?
Dunno if finnie gets a mention if you would've made this tomorrow. Yikesy game tonight
Where’s Frank “The Tank” Nazar?
As a habs fan im happy you talk of dobes for the Calder, because nobody talk about him for the trophy
Cab you do a top 15 2027 nhl draft ranking
What about snuggerud how the fuck you don't mention him he lead blues in points on a team that right struggle on offense!!!!
I believe Kindel is 2nd in xGF% under all of them. If he starts scoring, he might get some votes, too. What a steal by Dubas even though viewed as a reach at #11.
well done,Grav
Hurts that Misa was left off
He won't get the ice time to amass the points needed to win the Calder but I've been happy with Ryan Leonard's play
