Calder Memorial Trophy
The Calder Memorial Trophy is an annual award given to the player selected as the most proficient in his first year of competition in the National Hockey League. The winner is selected in a poll of the Professional Hockey Writers' Association at the end of the regular season and each individual voter ranks their top five candidates on a 10-7-5-3-1 points system. Three finalists are named and the trophy is awarded at the NHL Awards ceremony after the playoffs.

Once the voting is completed, an announcement will be made. It will show three names associated to the Calder Trophy.
Simply saying one of Forsberg, Stone and Gaudreau won't make the top three.
As Ekbald in my view will be in the top three.
