NHL players only have one opportunity to win the Calder Trophy. Unless you're Alex Nedeljkovic. Then you get two cracks at it.
But usually, skaters are only able to add this award to their mantle during their rookie season. This year's crop of freshman skaters has been particularly electric, with players establishing themselves as budding superstars on rebuilding teams such as the Detroit Red Wings and Anaheim Ducks.
That's not really a tipping of our hand if you've been keeping track of the Calder Trophy race this year, either. It's mostly been a three-player race since the middle of October, with a few other skaters gaining a bit of traction as the campaign has gone on.
