Before you tell me plus minus is flawed and the Hawks are a bad team, Jason Dickinson played over 16 minutes a night and was +4
Zary, also on a bottom 10 team, had 30 ES points in 63 games and was +12
If the Calder was relative to expectations, I’d say there is an argument there is a better case for Zary

Bedard was the driving force for pretty much 100% of his points, and many were hi-light reels.
He had zero offensive help. If Zary had played for Chicago in place of Bedard, he'd have gotten first line minutes and 20 points.
Bedard was everything he was talked about to be.
He had a spectacular season.
There is no case for Zary, although he had a fine season. For him.
