Must be nice to have two Aleksander Barkovs on your team

Stone in Selke conversation
Kane>Matthews for Hart
Smith should be higher

Is the Hart awarded to the biggest and most frustrated crybaby?

If they're only considering offense for the Calder then yes, but all-around he is not even the best rookie D

He obviously shouldn't get the Vezina,

but lets behold Linus Ullmark.

He is 5-5-3
The other 3 Sabres Goalies: 1-18-2

He has a 2.60 GAA/.916 SVP
the other goalies: 4.11/3.47/3.79 and .890/.886/.884

JRob should be talked about more, insane player
I'd put him 2 on the calder list

Stone was my next man up and Kane/Matthews is pretty much a tie. However, I agree with Weber about Ty Smith.

You're right, that's not Vezina numbers, but that could lowkey be Hart numbers if the Sabres were making the playoffs.

What's your rookie D ranking?

I think Lankinen would be ahead of Nedelijkovic if you want two goalies in there.

I'd say Kaprizov, Smith, Lankinen/Shesterkin will be top 3 -- with Robertson, Tolvanen, and Miller behind them.

Though Robertson and Tolvanen have had the most points among rookies since the start of March, so if they keep it up...

I have Kane over Matthews for Hart based on how much Kane carried his team.

I don't really have a rookie ranking, but off the top of my head he's 3rd behind Miller and Zub

Lankinen has cooled a bit down lately but he’s definitely one of the next rookies up.

Miller over Smith? I love 🔑 but you’re generous

Just considering how much worse his team is on paper vs CAR and I would have to give Lankinen the edge there

Miller hasn’t even been the best rookie skater on his team lol

Nurse may be a finalist for the Norris. He’s been very solid this year.

Miller has been better than Smith overall. Smith's defensive game is really holding him down



I'm not saying he should be winning the trophy either, but as an analytics guy I thought you would know that Miller has been better than Smith

Most voters may actually award it to the guy on pace for 140 points over a full season. Your opinion about whether that player complains too much or not may coincide with that same player. I'm sure the Hart voters will take your view into full consideration. Luckily a Habs player can still go for the Lady Byng, where that matters!

My point is that lafreniere is having a better season than Miller.

lankinen not being in the calder conversation is just discrespect.

Lankinen: 25 GP (13-8-4) 2.65 GAA .921 Save % 2 SO
Shesterkin: 16 GP (8-8) 2.32 GAA .925 save % 0 SO
Ned: 13 GP (8-3-2). 2.05 GAA .927 save % 2 SO

It needs to be taken into consideration that Lankinen is playing behind the worst of these three teams and has the largest sample size. Chicago has been outshot 11 of its last 13 games. If Chicago makes the playoffs lankinen should be in MVP conversation. Him and Kane are dragging this team there right now. He's right there in stats with these other two guys behind a worse defence and is the only one with a worth while sample size

You haven't watched the hawks if you think Lankinen has cooled down latley. He's 3-1 in his last 4 games with a 1.50 GAA and .958 save %. And those 4 games are against Florida twice, red hot nashville, and carolina. He pretty much single handldly won us all 3 of those games

Huh?
Smith's defense is what has made him the most likely runner-up to Kaprizov for the Calder.
He has been very solid defensively.

Pelech?? Pulock??? WAHLSTROM???

Hedman-Petry in the top2 is certainly questionable.
