Bunting being drafted in 2014 shouldn't matter. The Calder Trophy is awarded to the best player who qualifies. Not the one who is supposed to have the best career or anything other than best at the game of hockey. We should know since Makarov's win got the age requirement added.
Bunting had the most points of the rookies, nearly all of which were even strength points. It doesn't matter since he's not going to win anyways, but this was hardly some travesty and the "oh east bias" is getting tiresome. Especially for the Vezina when it's voted on by GMs.
