Give Power a legit partner rather than Jokiharju and a lot of those "defensive issues" clear up.  (Provided he finally figures out how to not deflect the puck past his own goalie.  THAT issue wasn't on Henri.)

All 3 are worthy.

Congrats Owen, it's a nice accolade.  You showed that you're here to stay!  Regardless of the outcome, we're happy to have you.

The irony is Power is better at driving offense, while Beniers is better defensively

There’s just something screwy about comparing defensemen and forwards relative defensive and offensive stats to each other when they are two completely different animals playing completely different roles in the game.

The Calder Memorial Trophy is awarded to the player selected as the most proficient in his first year of competition in the NHL.

Last Sabre to win it was Tyler Myers.

If Myers can win it, Power definitely can.

Myers showed a lot of flash that season, IIRC. Power is probably better, but not as flashy.

I am pulling for Power to win it, he had a huge impact on the Sabres bump up in the standings.

He will have a much better career than Myers, whether he wins it or not.
