NHL Rookie Race 2006/07

...for the Calder Trophy

Most think this guy in the video below will be the runaway winner. You might have heard of him. He's been in the news a lot lately.



Yeah well, most last year thought Crosby would be the runaway winner. So, I'm not sold yet on Evgeni, as good as he is, running away with it. Especially with others on the list below having stronger supporting casts helping them than he has.

Hockey Futures has a breakdown and analysis of the 2007 rookie class and the players they think will give Evgeni a run for the Calder.

2. Wojtek Wolski (COL)
3. Patrick O’Sullivan (LA)
4. Hannu Toivonen (BOS)
5. Matt Carle (SJ)
6. Gilbert Brule (CBJ)
7. Alexander Radulov (NAS)
8. Dustin Penner (ANA)
9. Jiri Hudler (DET)
10. Robbie Schremp (EDM)

Personally, I'm pulling for Wojtek Wolski... but then again I'm biased.
