The Top-10 Calder Trophy Candidates for the 07/08 BRHL2 season
Permalink  

Malkin, Avalanche

This 80 OV superstar could play on a line with St. Louis (81) and Richards (79) if either Evgeny or Brad is moved to right wing under the Jokinen rule. No prime offensive defensemen to feed the puck bu the team's top passing blueliner happens to be a fellow rookie Keith (74)

Stastny, Capitals

This 77 OV pivot could play with the team's present left winger Yashin (76) and fellow rookie Stempniak (72) could move to right wing. In any event, the team's top passer on the backend is fellow rookie Hainsey (74).

Kopitar, Sabres

This 78 OV pivot will play behind Crosby (84) but might see some ice time with converted right winger Jokinen (80) and/or left winger Rolston (81). There aren't any offensive defenseman in town but Bouwmeester (79) or Blake (78) will help the team maintain puck possession, increasing opportunities in general.

Michalek, Sharks 

This speedy 76 OV right winger would be well served on the top 5-man unit with Ovechkin (83) and Lidstrom (81) but will certainly play with either centre Staal (78) or Williams (78). Fellow San Jose rookie Seabrook (75) will probably get overlooked in Calder voting as defensive defensemen usually are.

Pominville, Stars

This 77 OV right winger could play his rookie year in the BRHL2 with left winger Gagne (81) and passer Zubov (78), or more likely with fellow Stars quality rookies centre Zajac (71) and defender Carle (72).

Lombardi, Hurricanes

This lightning fast 75 OV centre probably won't play with Spezza's wingers Knuble (79) and Straka (78) but BRHL2 sophomore Penner (74) and/or Tkachuk (76) is decent consolation. Little if any help from the blueline. 

Staal, Lightning

Jordan the 75 OV left winger will be hard pressed to get quality minutes playing behind Kariya and Tanguay on a contending team. However, if he did, he could have the sweetest time racking up rookie points on ice with centre Sundin (80) or Bergeron (80) or converted right winger Briere (79). No noteworthy blueliners in the passing department. Rookie backup netminder Halak (73) could surprise if he gets the starts behind a team which should help make wins easy.

Beauchemin, Oilers

This top pairing 76 OV defenseman in Edmonton could play with Savard (79), Kovalchuk (79), Blake (78) or Afinogenov (78) and impress alongside Salei (76).

Bieksa, Senators

This 76 OV blueliner is the team's top passer on the backend with Alfredsson (81), Kovalev (78) and Kozlov (78) to help him shine offensively on regular shifts and the powerplay.

Tyutin, Panthers

This 74 OV rearguard only has guys like Comrie (73) and Stillman (72) to play with.


Darkhorses:

Radulov or Christensen, Bruins
Clowe, Leafs
Pavelski, Backes or Picard, Rangers
Stafford or Vlasic, Canucks
Thomas, Kings

Would have to check with last years stats to see how many games Bieksa played to see if he in even eligible.

He is a rookie in the BRHL2 according to the sim. I compiled this list by going through the 'players vitals' for each team.

I dunno. Your other darkhorse rookie might have something to say about that: Christensen just scored two goals in the BRHL2 preseason opener.

Well... we play one season behind the NHL and Semin played in the NHL a couple of seasons ago and hence was already an ex-NHLer when created.

Though Eric can clarify what's what.

I think he shouldnt really be considered a rookie cause he woulda been rated like 3 years ago.

The league leader in points after a couple of preseason games is a rookie!

*P.STASTNY(Was)              2   1   4    5   0    0   0   0     8   12.5

And one of the recognized darkhorses looks promising early:

 *B.THOMAS(LA)                2   2   1    3   2    2   1   0     4   50.0

And these two were not even on the radar screen and don't have the ratings to maintain such production:

*B.BETTS(Nsh)                2   1   2    3   1    2   0   0     4   25.0
*P.GAUSTAD(NYR)              2   1   2    3   1    0   0   0     3   33.
