Phaneuf for sure. 20 goals, 49 points as a rookie, finished 3rd in Calder voting behind Ovi and Crosby and in a typical season he probably wins the trophy, that was just a crazy year for rookies. 17 goals, 60 points in his 3rd season and finished 2nd in Norris voting behind the one of the best defensemen of all time in Nicklas Lidstrom. Had 49, 49, 60 and 47 points, with 17, 17, 20 and 11 goals, and still managed to score 10 goals in 55 games in his final part season with the team. Controversial but for sure the pick here.
