At first when I looked at the points Ryan got, I thought Cellebrini would probably land at the same level of production and that would benefit Wolf as a comparable season. Seeing that he 10 shutouts that year, makes it hard to use that as a comparable. Not as cut and dry as I first thought when thinking what the voters would do.

Mason's play (and Nash) dragged that very bad team into their first ever playoff appearance--after 8 years in the NHL.
Lots of noise around that. Hype is a real thing with player awards, which is why Calgary HAS to make the playoffs on a dramatic end of year run where Wolf is shining if he is to win the Calder.
