Calder 2011
22, Apr 2010Today will be the nomination announcements for the 2010 Calder Trophy. If the early playoff results are any indication, perhaps the best player to debut in the 2009/10 season will not be nominated this year. So far in the playoffs, John Carlson of the Washington Capitals has made a claim to being the best rookie in the NHL. Carlson has appeared in all four Washington Capitals games and scored four points from defence. He has a +7 +/- rating in the playoffs so far. This is quite an impressive showing for a rookie.
Carlson will be eligible for the Calder Trophy next season because he only played 22 games this season (and the Calder cut-off is 25). In those 22 games, he logged an ever increasing amount of playing time with six points and a +11 +/-. Carlson is a 20 year old World Junior Championship hero who was a Caps first round pick in 2008. He has the pedigree of a future NHL star and is playing like one so far in the playoffs. He is a very logical front-runner for next year’s Calder Trophy.

With Andrew Alberts on the ice and Luongo’s knob- the two most dangerous things to any Canucks first round success are way to close to the goal.
First- Alberts is clearly under the microscope by the officials after his boarding call. He should know it as he is certainly playing a ‘reactionary catch-up’ style of game which is getting him into more trouble. Rome is listed as being better but…
