Rookies are here! We feel that Connor Zary definitely deserves more respect from media & fans. He was the best rookie in the first half of the season in our eyes. Bedard missed some games, Faber was not so good last weeks. Simon Nemec didn't reach minimum games to make the list. pic.twitter.com/PK3XsFv0uN

[On why they rank him higher than Bedard:](https://twitter.com/ARHockeyStats/status/1749554853913694272?t=ilGSDUqDGVhM6mlnB6uLKw&s=19)
> »…Bedard is one of the worst forwards defensively this season, meanwhile Zary has been excellent in defense.
After 2024 concludes the Flames should have had 2 calder winners. 13 and 47. Still 1 will be better than 0
I love the dick riding for Bedard as much as the next guy, but Calder goes to the *best* rookie, not the one who has the most points.
I want Zary to win the Calder so bad but unfortunately, it was Bedard’s to lose to begin with and has been flashier than Zary. Defensive skills don’t get you anything (ironically, doesn’t matter for the Norris either lol)
