Johnny: 53 points in 67 games
Forsberg: 53 points in 69 games

It seems the race will really be down to the wire this season for the NHL's rookie of the year award.

Johnny is getting hot at the perfect time while Forsberg has found himself in a bit of a slump coinciding with Nashville's struggles. Both guys are very deserving but I'm thinking Johnny can/will catch Forsberg down the home stretch in point totals. While the Calder Trophy is all about points, I think the scoring leader will be given the award this year.

I don't think Ekblad will get enough votes to be a realistic threat against the other two even though he's got that nice big body all the Florida hunnies are going crazy for.

What are your guys' thoughts?
