Zach Werenski made his Calder prediction by offering Auston Matthews some help

The Calder trophy has been one of the most highly debated trophies all season long.

With a season of many stand-out rookie seasons led by Auston Matthews, Patrik Laine, Zach Werenski, Mitch Marner, Matthew Tkachuk, William Nylander and Matt Murray, three were chosen as Calder finalists: Matthews, Werenski and Laine. Many people think Laine deserves the trophy (For reasons you can find here), but the majority definitely leans toward Matthews.

Even Werenski himself thinks Matthews will win the trophy, at least that what this suggests.

That seems pretty clear who Werenski suspects to win the trophy.

On the bright side, Werenski definitely wins our new BarDown trophy, which goes for greatest T-Shirt inspiration and a given season. Now, we know this was in the playoffs, so it shouldn’t technically be eligible, but we’ll use an OHL-like exceptional rule to admit it to our competition.
