Dobber had me write his Calder article/list for the Fantasy Guide this year (shameless plug, out August 1st), and it was 25 players who have a shot at the Calder.
I too think that Laine has a leg up on Matthews, mostly due to points. The Calder in the past has been so points driven. I see Matthews having a year similar to Eichel's. If he ends up around 60 points, that will be a good first season.
Darkhorses outside of the Matthews, Laine, Puljujarvi conversation - Sebastian Aho, Mikko Rantanen, Dylan Strome, Jimmy Vesey....
