both camps will be complaining why they idol got snubbed,
The No fair, Crosby came in 3rd jerk and whine feast will start in 3….2….

Yeah, I understand. I’m just completely astounded that the only people who voted for him put him 1st or 2nd. Also, he certainly deserves votes, but 1st and 2nd place votes? Those three guys deserve some credit for picking a defensive specialist, but they also deserve some criticism for putting him first and second.

In all, it’s just strange.

Well Duchene was the only player taken in the 2009 draft of the Calder candidates, so you are saying that Tavares and Hedman have more potential than just him, or all three?

I still think Myers (2008 #12) has tons of potential, he hasn’t even come close to growing in to that lanky frame of his. Clearly he has offensive gifts, now imagine him growing in to some snarl. That kid could be an absolute beast, and the best of any of those 5.

Quick compare to of Myers to Hedman (when i say highest on team below, I mean for Dmen only):
Myers: 48pts and a +13; QualComp: 0.074 highest on team; QualTeam 0.182 highest on team (so head played with the best on his team against the best of the other team); His Ozone start is 50.1% and Ozone finish is 52.6%.
Hedman: 20pts and a -3; QualComp: 0.025 middle of his dmen, QualTeam 0.047highest on team (he played against average competition while playing with his teams best players); His Ozone start is 49.8% and his Ozone finish is 45.4%.

I realize this doesn’t measure potential, but Myers played first pairing minutes for a playoff team and produced. Myers is only about 10 months older than Hedman, and has more of his body to grow in to. Just thought I’d throw this out there.

Side note, Tavares did play tougher comp with inferior linemates than Duchene.
