The Calder Memorial Trophy is sought after by emerging NHL talent, exemplified by former second-round pick Lane Hutson. Among dark horse candidates for the next season are Yaroslav Askarov, who was traded to the San Jose Sharks and has shown potential during his limited appearances. Despite goalies historically underperforming in Calder races, Askarov's previous acclaim and impressive play can turn heads. Other candidates, such as Ville Koivunen from the Pittsburgh Penguins, are under consideration. Each rookie dreams of making an impact and securing recognition in the league.
Yaroslav Askarov has shown glimmers of hope and talent in his short time with the Sharks, and could potentially mirror the success of other Calder-winning goalies.
Back in August 2022, Yaroslav Askarov was traded to the Sharks, and signed a two-year, $4 million deal, making him a strong candidate for rookie success.
