Earlier this week, 21-year-old Detroit Red Wings defenseman Moritz Seider was awarded the Calder Memorial Trophy as the league’s “most proficient [player] in his first year of competition.”
While we already knew that Owen Power wasn’t in the conversation as a finalist, some were mildly surprised that he wasn’t on a single ballot when the PHWA revealed its full voting after the awards ceremony. In the end, 15 players received votes:
- Alex Nedeljkovic, Detroit Red Wings
- Lucas Raymond, Detroit Red Wings
- Moritz Seider, Detroit Red Wings
- Tanner Jeannot, Nashville Predators
- Timothy Liljegren, Toronto Maple Leafs
Power certainly did leave an impression in his (incredibly short) stint in Buffalo with the Sabres at the end of the season, but it was just that: an incredibly short stint.
