They both have August 13th birthdays, Forsberg is just a year younger. That kid can play. I know this is a Gaudreau thread but damn, Forsberg is lighting it up in Nashville.

And Ekblad is having a great year (can't compare stats with a d-man).
Many previous years Johnny is a shoo-in for the Calder. This year he's in tough. I actually think he's got the PR edge, being an Eastern American Hobey Baker winner, having a cool nickname and playing in a Canadian city (as opposed to Forsberg playing in a southern non-traditional market city).
On merit it's hard to deny Forsberg at this point.
