The Calder Trophy: Malkin Elbows Out The Competition

Evgeni Malkin is the odds-on favorite to take home the Calder Trophy Thursday night, but perhaps the voting should be closer than you'd think.

Stastny for Calder!!!...

You forgot to mention that both Staal and Stastny played significant PK time (2:16 per game for Stastny and 3:08 for Staal), while Malkin played almost none (27 seconds).

Obviously I am biased, but I think Stastny supasses Malkin in every stat except points and goals (and he's darn close in those areas too). He's better defensively and a better passer. I think he deserves the Calder

Uhh, those are two important categories...

Yes but Malkin racked up his more points by getting more power play time than Statsny. If you look at the numbers, And I have Stastny's a more efficient scorer than Malkin, while being tremendoously better in his own end. Overall, he had a better season.
