Lots of good rookies out there this year..
Some are expected to do well Tavares, Hedman, Duschene..
Some are more unexpected and have played really well Del Zotto, Oreilly....
I am pulling for Del Zotto..The kid looks really good.

It won't be O'Reilly. I'd be surprised if he sticks around after his next game (his 9th).
I think Tavares, Duchene, Del Zotto have the inside track, so far.

I like MDZ, but it will be Tavares. Duchene rounds out the Calder field.

Tavares (thank god) is looking good but Del Zotto is playing very well and might give him a run.
Owe $15 Dale - Won $10 more regular season games played (Dale - Lombardi, Me - Connolly)
Owe $20 Steve
Win $20 Bob - AHL Quarters
Win $20 Adam
Bet $20 Bob - AHL Season and $10 head to head (Bob 3 - Wayne 2) - unsure

Del Zotto is really fun to watch. I don't know if he will win, but you have to figure he will be a finalist.

Oof, I was wrong on O'Reilly, they will keep him up: http://www.denverpost.com/avalanche/ci_13594935
He still won't enter into the Calder discussion, though.

Steve,
It doesn't matter who you start because you have a horse shoe up your ass so far I'm not really sure how you get through the day. You must be gay.

seems like a misstep to me
If the kid is producing there's no reason not to let him beat expectations, it's situations like Gilbert Brule where he's clearly struggling but the team keeps him up anyway, destroying his confidence.
O'Reilly is tied with Paul Stastny in points, he's not struggling and the team needs him, so it's win/win.

Fairly good article over at Puck Daddy today that addresses this topic, kinda funny just a day or so after we were having the discussion.
He makes a good point in the article, Tavares is basically making Matt Moulson look like he's belonged in the NHL for years.

There are so many great rookies again this year. It seems a lot of young players are making a fairly easy transition into the NHL these days. I'm curious to hear thoughts on why this is the case. Is it because of better coaching in junior, is it a matter of more youngsters being given the opportunity...what do you guys think?

I think it goes back to the rule changes to remove obstruction. One of the hardest things for rookies to adjust to coming to the NHL was doing what they had been doing before, but doing it with a 220 pound guys hanging on to them every step. Not only is the game faster, bigger, quicker, etc, but the size of the guys trying to slow you down is much larger. When they changed the rules, I think it allowed rookies more room to skate, and made the adjustment a lot easier...
