For the same reasoning, Riley Heidt in MN is a real dark horse candidate, because if he is in the NHL this season, it’s because he proves to be a strong fit on the 2nd line.Bradly Nadeau or Felix Unger-Sorum
homer pick, yes, but there's good reason for it. Carolina currently has a hole in the top 6, if either of them ends up making the team it's likely going to be in that role.
Unger-Sorum is going to win Selke bet.Bradly Nadeau or Felix Unger-Sorum

Stank needs to get lucky and get premium TOI and PP time as well and that's debatable.I would actually put Mailloux's name there as opposed to Reinbacher for the Habs, I think given he had a strong AHL season he's a lot more likely to make the team. Probably a moot point regardless, Hutson is the only one who has a chance at being in the discussion
Celebrini, Michkov and Stankoven are the likely finalists imo
I think Stankoven having the extra marination and a way better team around him than other top rookies could vault him to the top
lol…that’s right. Nothing honest or hard working in his game…Stank needs to get lucky…
Sure because I called him lazy and dishonest....well no I didn't.lol…that’s right. Nothing honest or hard working in his game…
Sounds like you haven't looked at the Boston depth charts for a while but no I wouldn't take Lysell in this poll over the others sure.I think this is a pretty wide open race. Blows me away 4 people think Lysell. He's more likely not to play in the league this year than win the Calder.
I think he'll be on their 2nd PP but I also wouldn't be surprised if he ends up playing with Wyatt Johnson which is just worlds better than anyone SJ or PHI will be able to put with their guy. All that aside, he's just good at hockey lol, he was playing 14:40 when called up and then 16:00 in the playoffs so while he'll likely be lower TOI than some rookies on bad teams he's certainly not going to be buried by Dallas' depthStank needs to get lucky and get premium TOI and PP time as well and that's debatable.
Michov is the safe bet and Celebrini as well.
come near the beginning of the season we could see who emerges with an opportunity after a training camp injury ect....
The thing is that in Philly and San Jose those guys can get premium PP TOI and the guys they are playing with won't be a problem.I think he'll be on their 2nd PP but I also wouldn't be surprised if he ends up playing with Wyatt Johnson which is just worlds better than anyone SJ or PHI will be able to put with their guy.

He was playing in their top 6 regardless of Pavelski, I think you're underestimating the size of role he's going to play in Dallas. He likely won't be on PP1 this is trueThe thing is that in Philly and San Jose those guys can get premium PP TOI and the guys they are playing with won't be a problem.
Stank is a good player but unless he gets premium PP TOI it might be hard for him to rack up as many points as a guy like Michov.
Also he might get that time now with Palveski retiring.

… IF they can find a spot for him in their forwards’ line up.Shane Wright had a fantastic AHL playoff run and I think he brings that momentum and confidence into next season and gets it done.
Lysell put up some great numbers in the AHL last year and has a lot of talent. In my eyes, the Boston is fairly weak on the RW. He could slot in the middle 9 easy.I think this is a pretty wide open race. Blows me away 4 people think Lysell. He's more likely not to play in the league this year than win the Calder.
He’s not eligible.Edvinsson?
What decent supporting cast ? I don’t think any Flyer scored over 60 points last year.If Michkov can avoid getting benched by Torts, it’s his to lose. Guy already scores against men and has a decent supporting cast in Philly.
Roy won’t play first line lol let’s be serious here. And i’d bet anything Hutson will score more points than Roy as a Dman.Stankoven is taking it home.
The best candidate for the Habs is neither of those two defencemen. Josh Roy is still Calder eligible and could very well be on the top two lines for Montreal. If that happens he is most definitely a dark horse.
Slaf - Suzuki - Roy
Newhook - Dach - Caufield

Look I like the kid, but every Habs fan continuously putting Joshua Roy's name into the Calder conversation is giving everyone else on this board so much ammunition to work with... enough lolI'd put Joshua Roy before any of Reinbacher or Mailloux for the Habs. He basically has a spot to lose on the top 6 and 2nd PP.
