Surprise! Wait no this was totally expected. Now he's just gotta be named the winner.
This season, the NHL has had a very, very strong group of rookies. A handful of 60 point scorers and a couple of defencemen playing huge, huge minutes for their teams has made it a tough crop. That's a crop that's finally been boiled down to three, one of whom will be named the NHL's top rookie for the 2014-15 season.
The Flames' own Johnny Gaudreau is one of the three, of course. His co-finalists are the Ottawa Senators' Mark Stone, and Florida Panthers' Aaron Ekblad.
