Is that team making the playoffs?

That would be a fun team to watch.
At this point it’d be:

Woll
Levi

Both samples sizes are small at this point, but Woll’s is dramatically better
 
IMO its just a matter of 2 more games till Knies is up with Matthews and Marner and playing with those 2 should put Knies somwhere in the top 5 point wise by the end of the season.
Won't argue that, but the other Calder candidates won't get inflated points based on the fact they're playing with Matthews/Marner. If Bedard gets 10 less points playing with what he has in Chicago, he'll win it.
 
Yes there was a Calder prediction thread but this thread is to keep track of the top 5 in the current Calder race. I will try to update this first post once or twice a week with the current totals.

I think so.

Why not let his play dictate what happens and even playing through a rough stretch can be a developmental experience.
GMPV has a plan for him to develop physically throughout the initial stages in the season, and in his words be "a horse" during the second half. From reports, it's 2 games per week during the first half or so of the season, which mirrors his previous SHL and is similar to a college schedule. It's been debated and there's more detailed information in either the prospect thread on the MB or on the Ducks' board. I won't comment whether it's the right or wrong thing to do, but that's what the team is doing and the Carlsson camp is completely on board.

I can't see Knies in the top 3 point wise, I am thinking 55 to 60 and I think the winner will be 65-70
I fig 55-60 should put him in that 4 or 5 spot
 
I think so.

My bet is that if he has a better second half that we will see other teams follow the same program since in many ways it's a copycat league.

Perhaps. PV is a big sports science guy, and has basically spoken to trying to prevent Leo from hitting the “rookie wall”. There aren’t many 18 year olds who are ready for a full time nhl schedule. People have noted he played 85 games last year, but fail to take in to account it was over 3-4 more months than the nhl season.

In theory it makes sense, but when you watch him be the best player on the ice for your team in every game he’s played while playing 20+ minutes, it’s a tough pull for fans to swallow.
 
Going into this season if you asked me about the rookie class I would have said its average outside of Bedard but it looks like I was wrong. This is a pretty deep group
I think a lot of guys are playing and being impacts that maybe people didn’t think would be up in the nhl.

Benson in Buffalo
Poitras in Boston
In Anaheim I think there was doubt carlsson would be with big club, and I feel like I was the only person that thought Mintyukov would be with the ducks

Still surprised Clarke isn’t up with kings

same with Robertson for the Leafs, I really thought he was going to make the team.

I think Bedard will take this by the end of the year. But I also wouldn’t at all be surprised to see Luke Hughes or Cooley win it.

I only expected LaCombe and Dostal to be up all season. Monty being this good this early was a shock to me.

I’d love if the NHL did more rookie games.

This years top rookies VS last years top rookies..

Season 5 players VS years 1 and 2 rookie/sophomores.

I have wanted the ducks to snag robertson for a while… I think he’d be a nice add for Anaheim

Ya most thought lacombe was a lock, and that minty would spend half the year in the ahl. I thought minty coulda made it last season and in general have been high on him since prior to draft

wouldn't be surprised if he is available, we need a solid vet D man with 1 max 2 years left
