Schaefer, Demidov Head Calder Trophy Finalists List

The Calder race has the kind of buzz that tells you the next wave is already here. Matthew Schaefer and Ivan Demidov are among the finalists, and that alone says the rookie class has delivered plenty of eye candy and enough production to get the league talking. The award usually turns on more than just highlight plays, and the final vote tends to reward the guy who made the cleanest first impression over a full season.
