I guess we'll see, but I don't recall any kids coming over from that league and dominating the NHL enough to get serious Calder consideration. Even ones with better numbers there than Puljujarvi.
Even Barkov took 3 seasons to start putting up numbers that would have put him any kind of contention for a Calder type season.
But yeah, I guess if he gets lots of time with McDavid that will certainly help.
