Good call on jack Drury
Still don't get the sampo ranta hype myself
Seems better suited to a dark horse
I am big believer in Sampo Ranta. Pretty high ceiling.

I get it makes sense in the context of building an 18 player roster of candidates, but none of those other D belong in the same realm of chance as Seider (and I'm not a Red Wings fan)
Drysdale, Perunovich and Byram all have equal chance for Calder as Seider.
Seider may be better d-man over long term, but those guys will get important minutes this year.

Leaves marco rossi off the list
Yeah, it was him or Newhook. Chose Newhook.

No Podkolzin? outside of Caufield (and maybe Kaliyev) I think he will get more icetime than any of the other RWs listed. Most have him penciled in on the 3rd line , while I would be surprised if Lind makes Seattle, and they arent seen as being a good offensive team.
Timmins is in a great spot, he might get a much better opportunity than most of the dmen listed- outside of Seider and Drysdale. Byram has his work cut out for him to get any kind of icetime with Colorado this year.
Same reason they are using pencil is why I left him off this list.

Kravtsov and lundkvist from the rangers?!?!?!
Both could be there, still think Kravtsov is a little raw to be putting up enough points for Calder.
Nils certainly there if he gets everyday work.

Goalies never win so I get why you didn't add any, but Spencer Knight has as good of a chance to win as most of the people on this roster
Swayman could be a second goalie if you really want to fill out the roster, but he has a sliver of a chance
Knight and Swayman are obvious names.
But I left out goalies, since its often the unexpected name that surprises us.
