If Myers doesn't at least come in 2nd (I know there is a chance he won't win), then the system is rigged.

Everyone else is giving Myers more consideration than any of those guys anyways.

On the Half way review on the NHL.com it talks about Myers being a huge leader in Calder considerations.

2. Myers for the Calder? -- He won't turn 20 until Feb. 1, but Sabres rookie Tyler Myers is already the team's No. 1 defenseman. He's playing 23 minutes a night and has 22 points and a plus-8 rating halfway through the season. John Tavares may lead the talk for the Calder Trophy, but let's not forget about Myers.

Calder Trophy (Top rookie) -- Making it as a rookie defenseman is a grueling assignment, but halfway through the season, the Buffalo Sabres' Tyler Myers is looking like he has been on the blue line for years. He has contributed offensively with 3 goals and 19 assists and is a plus-8 in 23 minutes per game. Not shabby stuff for a 19-year-old who had to be considered for an Olympic berth.

There is huge love for Myers for Calder.

Bergfors is on fire, so I can see the new love for him.

But yea...Myers is a beast and should definitely be considered the leader for the Calder.

bergfors sucks. What a retarded name. Do you every see any Sonjohns in america? What about Waycons?

I hope Tadgaus and Etriv kick the shit out of him next time we play new jersey.

I was about to post a similar topic. I first saw that poll, but only the top half. "Hmm. Myers must be at the bottom. I'll go vote later." Then I see he's not even mentioned, when in my mind, he's the fucking front-runner!

Given this article I stumbled upon at NHL.com about their mid season trophy picks, the fact that they didnt include him in voting is a bit strange.

"Calder Trophy (Top rookie) -- Making it as a rookie defenseman is a grueling assignment, but halfway through the season, the Buffalo Sabres' Tyler Myers is looking like he has been on the blue line for years. He has contributed offensively with 3 goals and 19 assists and is a plus-8 in 23 minutes per game. Not shabby stuff for a 19-year-old who had to be considered for an Olympic berth.

Runners-up

John Tavares, New York Islanders -- Tavares has done a very good job blending the ability to play with the expectations that greeted him upon arriving on Long Island. He has slumped a bit in recent games, but on the whole, the Islanders have to be very pleased with his 16 goals and 12 assists in 43 games.

Niclas Bergfors, New Jersey Devils -- Last season, Bergfors was a fill-in for the Devils, spending most of the season in the minors. This season, he has excelled under coach Jacques Lemaire, who knows when to challenge Bergfors and when to ease up. In 40 games, he has scored 13 goals and 13 assists.

Matt Duchene, Colorado Avalanche -- Named the NHL's top rookie for December with 5 goals and 8 assists in 14 games, Duchene has more than lived up to the billing that saw him selected third in the 2009 Entry Draft. He has 11 goals and 16 assists in 43 games and is minus-10.

Honorable mention -- Ryan O'Reilly, Colorado Avalanche; James van Riemsdyk, Philadelphia Flyers; Evander Kane, Atlanta Thrashers."

I just personally bumped Myers... er, I mean "other" by almost half a percent.

And yes, Bergfors has been great, and his name makes sense if youre a swede

It's so weird.

Myers is beginning to be picked by everyone to win the Calder, after a couple months of flying under the radar (somewhat lol).

NHL.com, you are silly, sir.
