It looks like every player on your team will be a rookie next year, no?
My early guess would be Drouin.
I know it is way too early to predict with any accuracy anything about next season, but the Calder trophy is a bit easier because only a certain number of players, rookies in this case, can win it.
Nathan MacKinnon just won the Calder for 2013-14. Any early (really early) picks for the Calder next year?
I am going with a guy on my keeper team, Anaheim's young goaltending stud, John Gibson. The last goalie to win the Calder was Steve Mason in 08-09, and I think Gibson can do it again.

I know Drouin has serious upside, but I'll go with an underdog: Max Domi

yea drouin or gibson since they will be on good teams and get lots of minutes. i'm sure i am missing an obvious candidate, and chances are someone else wins it anyways.
Drouin, Gibby won't get 55+ starts. Anderson proved more than serviceable during the regular season.

According to wiki, "To be eligible for the award, a player cannot have played any more than 25 games previously in any single season, nor have played in more than six games in each of two separate preceding seasons in any major professional league." I assume his 5 years in the KHL would make him ineligible.
