The San Jose Sharks made headlines by obtaining the second overall pick in the NHL Draft. However, the NHL also revealed finalists for the Calder Trophy, awarded to the top rookie, including Sharks' Macklin Celebrini, Lane Hutson from the Canadiens, and Dustin Wolf from the Flames. Fans were particularly vocal about Matvei Michkov's exclusion despite his impressive record of 26 goals and 37 assists. Wolf narrowly missed leading Calgary to the playoffs, highlighting the competitive nature of this year's rookie class.
"Michkov had 26 goals and 37 assists for points in 80 games... He led all rookies in goal scoring and tied Celebrini in points for second."
"Dustin Wolf almost lifted Calgary to the playoffs... It was going to take 30 wins or very, very close to it."
