If he keeps putting up points at his current clip, it's going to be Bedard and Zary at the top of the rookie leader board, with a substantial gap between Zary and 3rd place.
If he can manage to keep doing what he's doing (technically, he should be getting even better as the season progresses), I don't know how he isn't a finalist.
Edit: If the current top 5 P/GP continue to produce at their current rates for the rest of the season, it will finish like this:
Bedard: 74pts in 82 games.
Zary: 53pts in 72 games.
Carlsson: 49pts in 72 games
Rossi: 49pts in 82 games.
Voronkov: 45pts in 76 games.
Obviously any of them can/will fall off their current clip. One or two might even finish at a higher clip. All I'm saying is the "he won't be a finalist" folks aren't giving him enough credit, and I'll argue that there's a better chance they'll be wrong than right.
