You'd have to go back to the 1998-1999 season to see a rookie forward who wasn't leading the rookie scoring race win the Calder. Drury and his 44 points beat out his teammate Hejduk and his 48. Since then every forward rookie to win the Calder also won the scoring race.* Myers, Mason, Jackman, and Nabokov were the only non-fowards to win it in that time.
Nugent-Hopkins and Landeskog tied in points, Landeskog had more goals giving him the 'title' but RNH missed a decent chunk of games.
