LIST: Seven Likely Calder Trophy Candidates For 2020

It’d be a tough job disputing Elias Pettersson’s claim to the Calder Memorial Trophy in 2018-19.

The resume is full. Pettersson had 66 points (28 goals, 38 assists) are the 11th-most for a rookie in the post-lockout era, and he’s the 31st player in NHL history to conclude a season leading all rookies in goals, assists and points.

He’ll receive challenges from Miro Heiskanen of the Dallas Stars, Rasmus Dahlin of the Buffalo Sabres, and St. Louis Blues goaltender Jordan Binnington, no doubt, but Pettersson is the likely favourite in 2019.
