Anyway, good article from Drance who makes the case that Hughes should at least tighten the race, or perhaps even take the lead, in the quest for the Calder. In case you don't have access, the summary is this: Makar is obviously producing at an insane clip, but Hughes has the better underlying numbers. Makar is aided by an insanely high shooting percentage which should normalize over time, as Quinn's should summarily rise. There's also the fact that being on the currently-frontrunning Avs may slightly hurt Makar's chances in the eyes of the voters whereas Vancouver, a bubble team, may help Quinn's.
Doesn't bother me either way. Both are frickin' amazing and fun as hell to watch. Quinn was regarded as the higher-end defensive prospect anyway so the fact that Makar has roared out to such a lead to begin with is mindblowing.
