My problem is that the rookies generally don't get that good that quickly. I play a ton of games every year and I've never gotten past year 5 before. I've never seen a rookie win an award besides the calder (but I've seen Zach Priest win a Richard). It isn't as though it's something that makes me sit up at night lifting weights and crying, I just find it mildly irritating. Yes, the happiness of a terminally ill kid is far more important than how irritated I am. I just wish they'd make them a little more like every other rookie in the game.
