As the regular season is winding down more and more members of the media are discussing the potential NHL award nominees in various articles, on podcasts, on radio and television segments. As someone who reads and listens to many of these opinions I have noticed an alarming trend: Clayton Keller isn’t even being discussed in the Calder Trophy nominations anymore. This is preposterous!
There’s no denying that there are a lot of good quality Calder candidates: like Mathew Barzal, Brock Boeser, Charlie McAvoy, Will Butcher, Nico Hischier, really the list goes on and on.
