Did anyone catch this in the article?

Landeskog finished 382 points ahead of Edmonton's Ryan Nugent-Hopkins, the only player picked ahead of his in the 2011 NHL Draft.

As I said in the GDT, the call on Rivet was horseshit. The Bruins player was holding onto Rivet's stick like it was the last fucking raft on the Titanic.

You'd figure Calder contention and contract years would jive together, eh?


You would think, but no.

The logic goes is that the Calder goes to the best rookie, but the NHL defines what a rookie is, and that's changed over the years. For example, the age restriction part wasn't added until the 90s because some Russian guy won it in his 30s. Only hook there was that he had played pro hockey in Russian for years, but under the NHL's definition, the only recognized pro league was the WHA. (Which is why Gretzky never won it.)

In short, yeah, way too damn complex.

Just do it how the NFL does it, only slightly modified. NFL is when you're drafted, you're a rookie. Period. NHL should just be if you play one game, you're a rookie. If you don't stick, too bad.

Now that I think about that, that's probably not fair, since there's that whole notion of emergency call-ups and such.
