Calgary Flames Rookie Matthew Tkachuk Should Be In Calder Talks

Calgary Flames rookie Matthew Tkachuk has been quite underestimated this season. After being a healthy scratch for two games to the start of his NHL career, nobody expected him to be one of the point leaders on the Flames.

But right now, he’s tied for second for points with 27 of them in his 40 games he’s played. He’s also leading the team in assists (19) and +/- (10). He also has the second highest points/gp on the team with 0.68.

So why isn’t he in conversations revolving around the rookie trophy of the year, the Calder trophy?
