Hello LG Community, Over the next few days the LG Awards committee will be posting forum threads with nominees for a variety of NHL awards for you -- the community -- to vote on. This poll will close in 5 days, with the winner receiving an extra vote during the final tabulation (out of 7). FYI YOUR VOTE CANNOT BE CHANGED SO CHOOSE WISELY!!! Let’s find out about your nominees! Calder Memorial Trophy - "Awarded to the league's most outstanding rookie player." Criteria: For the purposes of this award, rookies are defined as players who have not played more than 14 games in prior seasons in the NHL. Apart from this restriction, the evaluation for this award will be identical to that of the Hart Trophy. 1) Production in relation to peers. It goes without saying that players who produce more statistically are generally the most valuable to their teams. 2) Individual record. In a league where players don't get to play every game in a season, individual record becomes a very important and telling statistic. 3) Linemates. This is mainly to note that a player should not be significantly punished or rewarded based on their fellow linemates. 4) Strength of schedule. The main things to examine here are record vs playoff teams as compared to record vs non-playoff teams, as well as statistical production vs playoff teams as compared to vs non-playoff teams. 5) Team performance. It is extremely rare for a player on a below average (non-playoff) team to win the Calder. It shouldn't be cut and dry that your team has to make the playoffs to be considered, but note that it should take a rather herculean effort from a player on a non-playoff team to win/be considered for the Calder.

When all stats were considered Jeffsosta was Tied-19 for overall production for all defensmen.
