carpandean Posted May 3, 2023 Report Share Posted May 3, 2023 (edited) `I couldn't find a list of historical finalists, but I wonder how often it's been a goalie, a defenseman and a forward. Seems like there are at least two forwards most years. Edited May 3, 2023 by carpandean 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Even if the Kraken player won the award and we were given the opportunity to redo the draft, I would still take Power over Beniers. Power was the right pick for us as Beniers was the right pick for Seattle. Power is already an anchor player for us. Just think how much better he will get! 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
matter2003 Posted May 4, 2023 Report Share Posted May 4, 2023 (edited) Based on how difficult it is to play defense versus offense and the fact he led all rookies in ice time since they began keeping the stat in like 2007?(I think that's the year they said), Power should win it. He likely won't because one put up points as a forward as his team made the playoffs and the other helped backstop his team to the playoffs with solid, albeit not spectacular numbers.

msw2112 Posted May 4, 2023 Report Share Posted May 4, 2023 I said before the season (on this message board) that Power would be in the mix for the Calder, but not win it because he won't have the gaudy offensive stats that some forward will have. Look like I nailed this one. Beniers will win the Calder. A guess a broken clock is right twice a day.... What's interesting is that Power and Beniers were college teammates at Michigan. That Michigan team was probably the most talented team that didn't win a National Championship. This year's Michigan team was similar - loaded with NHL talent, but lost in the Frozen Four. They literally have the curse of having too much talent. The team is made up of highly skilled 18 and 19 year olds that end up losing in the tournament to teams that have a core of 21-22 year olds. Michigan's 22 year old players are long gone to professional hockey before they mature to that age. Similar to Kentucky in basketball, which brings in top recruits every year, but they are off to the NBA very young and they lose in the tournament to more mature teams. But back to Power and the Sabres - congrats to Owen, as being a Calder finalist is well-deserved. He'll be a fixture on the Sabres blueline for a long time to come, so let's get that extension signed before the price tag goes up! 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He won the Conn Smythe for the Canadians after playing only 6 regular season games. The next season, his actual rookie year, he won the Calder (and finished 2nd in the Hart voting). In his 2nd full season, he won the Vezina. It was his first of 5 over the next 6 seasons. He then retired at 31 after playing only 7 NHL seasons and part of an 8th. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mphs mike Posted May 4, 2023 Report Share Posted May 4, 2023 4 hours ago, steveoath said: It will be, has anyone ever won the vezina and the Calder in same season? Then there was Ken Dryden, who won the Conn Smythe the season BEFORE he won the Calder! 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
