Talk:Calder Memorial Trophy
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
[edit] 2004-2005 and 2005-2006
As far as I can see on the NHL website and some others, no calder was awarded in 04-05 and the 2005-2006 trophy was not awarded yet. Please wait for the NHL to annouce it before handing Ovechkin the trophy... BobbyJTHais 16:08, 1 May 2006 (UTC)
Ovechkin isn't even a shoe-in, Dion Phaneuf of the Calgary Flames is a contender also, Crosby though is out of the race. The awards are tonight!! Max.pwnage 15:37, 22 June 2006 (UTC)
[edit] Calder trophy runner ups
I would like to see this data added to the wiki. Sometimes it's interesting to see when a player wins the Calder and then disappears or is overshadowed by a runner up over the length of a full career. Does anyone know where to get this data?
[edit] Stipulations
What exactly are the stipulations for a "Rookie in the NHL"? Gretzky did not win in his first season because of prior professional experience, whereas Ovechkin won, despite playing pro in Russia. Furthermore, Ken Dryden won it after winning the Stanley Cup and Conn Smythe with the Canadiens. 21:10, 30 January 2007 (UTC)
