The only time the Calder is awarded to anyone other than the leading rookie scorer, is when it goes to a goalie or defenceman.

IIRC, only once in the the last 35 or 40 years has it been awarded to a forward who didn't lead the league in rookie scoring.

The only way to be in the Calder race is to be in the rookie scoring race, because literally nothing else matters.

NHL awards are a joke for the most part.
