2023-2024 Calder predictions

[GOALOFSSON]

it's hard to see Levi being an undisputed starter (which he would need to be to win the Calder).

He will be

 

[bossram]

He will be

He'll need 50 starts (and of course quality play). I don't see him getting that many.

 

[5 Minute Major]

I'd say this is one of the better classes in a long time, so it's a tough pick but it's going to be hard to go against Connor Bedard.

the team is worse then anything Ovechkin or crosby lined up with I'm pretty sure

The team doesn't really matter, all that matters are his linemates and the ample opportunity he will get to showcase his skill.

eh the next highest scoring forward after Ovechkin in his rookie year was Dainius Zubrus and the highest scoring Defenseman on the team that year was Ben Clymer

at least Bedard has Hall and Jones

Jones. Zubrus at that time was better than Hall's been the last few years.

 

[BB88]

Because he was a star in the playoffs when he was comfortable. He was on the ice for nearly every important goal against Tampa. And he came into this pre-season and is showing he is special still. The hype has merit

You don’t base anything on pre season

 

[HockeyWooot]

Bedard
Cooley
Hughes/under the radar rookie

Hm: Levi

 

[Pavels Dog]

Yeah he played pretty bad that game for sure. Weird seeing you parade this comment in 99.9% of threads about Bedard.

Exact number being 2.

 

[TLEH]

Exact number being 2.

2 2 many

 

[Pavels Dog]

2 2 many

Kinda like Bedard's giveaways per game this preseason amirite

 

[WhiskeyYerTheDevils]

Looks like Luke Hughes is going to get a look running our 1st PP unit (the one with Jack and Bratt). He could put up some pretty huge numbers if that is the case.

 

[42]

Unger Sorum

Is he even gonna make the team? I don't see a spot for him.

 

[Pavel Buchnevich]

Levi, but I think Bedard will be right there.

 

[kylek023]

it starts

 

[WhiskeyYerTheDevils]

it starts

Vlasic is good and all but I don't think he'll be a serious contender for the calder.

Cooley is overrated and overhyped.
As is Bedard! Nobody gives a f*** who wins!

 

[Fantomas]

Bedard playing 20 minutes a game is going to help him. The Hawks are so thin everywhere they have no choice but to play him. And they will do it for financial/merchandizing reasons.

He won't be perfect. He won't have to be.

“They have no choice but to play him”

LOL. Any team in the league would gladly make room for him somewhere in their top 6 with plenty of ice time as of this very moment, regardless of who else is there. Literally any team.

I didn't really mean it that way.

And that is case closed. Forget closing statements, Exhibit A and Exhibit B above are all we need, your Honor.
