If we look at the Calder Cup, which is the rookie of the year, it seems to be a two-man race right now. The Islanders, Matthew Schafer and the Canadiens Ivan Demidolf. If you look at those two players and the projection for the rest of the season, who gets the edge for you or could it be somebody else? It could be somebody else. The somebody else might be, uh, one of those goaltenders, Yassper Wallstedt, who has 3 shutouts this year. He's coming on strong and it's a good, that's probably the 2nd best goalie tandem in the NHL for Minnesota with Wallstedt and Gustafson. If Gustafson either falters or deals with injury, um, I mean, this guy is a stud. We've been talking about him for years. Even Yaroslav Viscera, we've been talking about him as a goalie prospect for many years. He was in Nashville at first, got traded like last year to San Jose. And now he's part of that young core out in San Jose with Celebrini, with Will Smith and company, and San Jose is probably the most improved team in the league. What Schafer is doing is ridiculous. I would still call him the clear front runner right now, and he is, uh, you know, among not only the rookie leaders, but all the defensemen leaders in some key categories like goals, power play points, points outright. I mean, edge stats, he's up there among the defensemen leaders. in the 20+ mile per hour speed bursts and hardest shot and all these different categories. It's almost like this guy's a 25-year old defenseman entering his prime. That's what he's doing statistically with his workload, and he's also turned around the Islanders in the standings. They're on the cusp of playoff position and one of the biggest stories of the year because of Matthew Schafer. But don't, you know, overlook those two sleepers I mentioned, Jasper Wallstedt and Yaroslav Askov.
