ROOS LETS LOOSE POLL: Calder Nominees

[RizzeeDizzee]

I have lots of ideas for polls to run; but it's too early in the season for most of them, so let's focus on rookies. This poll is simple - you pick the three players (of the 19 choices) you believe will be the Calder nominees for 2021-22. Remember that while usually the best three rookies from a fantasy perspective often also happen to be those who are nominated for the Calder, that is not always the case, and you're voting on the Calder finalists.

You'll see I included a "one or more rookies not listed" choice, and here's what you should do regarding that:
-If you believe all three of the Calder nominees will be players other than the 19 I've listed, then vote solely for the "one or more rookies not listed" choice
-If you believe two of the Calder nominees will be players other than the 19 I've listed, then vote for the "one or more rookies not listed" choice plus one of the listed players
-If you believe one of the Calder nominees will be a player other than the 19 I've listed, then vote for the "one or more rookies not listed" choice plus two of the listed players

One last point - yes, my inclusion of Marco Rossi was deliberate. I realize he isn't even in the NHL as I'm writing this. But let's not forget that Carolina waived Alex Nedeljkovic in January and he still went on to be a finalist, so anything can happen between now and the end of the season. That also goes for players who've started slow or come out of the gates on fire - things might not continue the way they are now.

As usual, please list who you voted for and why, so readers can get added perspective.

I voted for:

Byram - yes he's third in the pecking order and not seeing heaps of PP time like Seider, but his taste of the NHL last season makes him less likely to hit a rookie wall
Swayman - I am not one who has much faith in Linus Ullmark, and I think what we saw from Swayman last season was just a snapshot of what he's capable of doing in net
Zegras - he looked a bit shaky but after the first few games, but since then he's seemed like a player with talent that far outpaces his experience

Zegras - looked comfortable the last 2, kid can fly.
Seider - impactful, affects every game the most.
Lundell - freak, those last 2 games he played were insane. I’m very intrigued.

As this poll is for the Calder Finalists and not necessarily the highest scoring rookies...I'm wondering. Which 2 Rookies would you want to get the most points (G-1 A-1) ROS going forward from here. Thanks. Will Rep who I can.

Raymond
Zegras

I wanted to pick (Dickins) Seider but I find it rare a D wins it.

Before the season, I posted in the predictions forum that Seider and Raymond would be 1 and 2 in the Calder race. They've done nothing but reinforce that prediction IMO. I added Lundell as my third in this voting.
Right now I'd give Seider the edge over Raymond for number 1.

These were mine. Think it’ll be Zegras he’s a hell of a player.

Raymond
Zegras
Seider

These are my picks as well at this stage. Lots of track left to be run though. I have a hard time not seeing at least 1 of these 3 on the final list though

[agentzero]

We can scratch Caufield off this list barring a miracle.. he was a longshot anyway given the company.
