Talk:Calder Memorial Trophy

2004-2005 and 2005-2006
As far as I can see on the NHL website and some others, no calder was awarded in 04-05 and the 2005-2006 trophy was not awarded yet. Please wait for the NHL to annouce it before handing Ovechkin the trophy... BobbyJTHais 16:08, 1 May 2006 (UTC)

Ovechkin isn't even a shoe-in, Dion Phaneuf of the Calgary Flames is a contender also, Crosby though is out of the race. The awards are tonight!! Max.pwnage 15:37, 22 June 2006 (UTC)

Calder trophy runner ups
I would like to see this data added to the wiki. Sometimes it's interesting to see when a player wins the Calder and then disappears or is overshadowed by a runner up over the length of a full career. Does anyone know where to get this data?

Stipulations
What exactly are the stipulations for a "Rookie in the NHL"? Gretzky did not win in his first season because of prior professional experience, whereas Ovechkin won, despite playing pro in Russia. Furthermore, Ken Dryden won it after winning the Stanley Cup and Conn Smythe with the Canadiens. 21:10, 30 January 2007 (UTC)

i believe that the stipulation for gretzky was that if you played in the whl (wha i cant remember what it was called) your were not a contender for the award. the reason dryden won the stanley cup and conn smythe before the calder was because he did not play the required number of games in the nhl to count towards being considered a rookie the year he won the cup. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 142.110.227.163 (talk) 19:15, 23 November 2007 (UTC)

Also what are the minimum number of games a rookie needs to play to qualify for the Calder trophy? —Preceding unsigned comment added by 67.204.201.172 (talk) 17:37, 1 April 2010 (UTC)

Photos
Can we please add a picture of Bryan Berard here? There is not even a picture of him on his own main page. I have a picture below that was taken the same year he won the Calder: http://i24.tinypic.com/iqamol.jpg Bryan Berard is an inspiration to anyone with a disability.
 * Is it your image or one you found somewhere? -- Scorpion0422 15:48, 23 October 2007 (UTC)

How to insert pictures

 * The page has enough images. If you're going to add one, at least remove one. -- Scorpion 0422  03:15, 24 January 2009 (UTC)

Sorry, but thanks for adding Pavel Bure.--Starwars1791 (talk) 03:16, 5 February 2009 (UTC)

Eligibility Requirements (and odd priorities more generally)
Shouldn't the article state what the eligibility requirements are?

I believe you can't have played more than 30 games in any previous season or 6 games in more than one previous season. There's also an age maximum which was added after Sergei Makarov controversially won it in his age 30 season.

(I don't think there's a minimum number of games but I don't know 100% for sure, in fact that's what I came here to check! It's often claimed Dryden didn't win a year earlier because of some minimum he didn't meet but I'm pretty sure that isn't true.)

These are among the most obvious things for this article to include, but none of it is explicitly stated anywhere in the current article (which would be a stub if not for the list, frankly). The 30-game part is sort of implied in the odd digression about Belfour but that's weird too. What's so notable about Belfour's season that it warrants a paragraph in this very scanty article, whereas other players who had more of an impact on the award's history (Makarov) or are more notable for other reasons (Dryden winning the Conn Smythe before the Calder, why Gretzky didn't win) are nowhere to be seen.

I swear this article used to be much more in-depth and include this information. Where did it go? 50.72.61.76 (talk) 11:18, 29 August 2023 (UTC)


 * What's notable about Belfour's season is that some editor sought to include it; nothing weirder than that. I agree that the eligibility requirements should be in the article, but one factor is that they've changed, and more than once.  I'll address a few of them.

 * Looks great! Thanks for your work on this. You should know at least one person appreciated it. (Probably a lot more will over time, whether they realize it or not.) 50.72.61.76 (talk) 09:52, 31 August 2023 (UTC)
