It's going to between 3 players this season. Bobby Ryan from Anahiem, Steve Mason from Columbus, and Kris Versteeg from Chicago. Let's take a look at who is worthy of the Rookie of the Year.
Bobby Ryan from Anahiem first. Ryan is a right wing and plays on the second line as a rookie. He had 31 goals, 26 assists, and 57 points with a +/- of +13 this season. That's a good start for a rookie especially on a second line. He'll work out well for the Ducks.
Steve Mason from Columbus. Mason was the leader in the NHL in shutouts with 10. That's a good start for a rookie goaltender. He had a record of 33-20-7 and a G.A.A. of 2.29 that's the second best in the league. He helped carry Columbus to their frist ever playoffs apperance.
Kris Versteeg from Chicago. Versteeg is a left wing and plays on the second line as a rookie. He had 22 goals, 31 assists, and 53 points with a +/- and +15 this season. That's a great rookie season for any player. He should probably end up playing on the first line if he keeps up this production.
I think Steve Mason will end up taking this trophy. He had the most impact on his team by being the first goalie to take columbus into the playoffs. He also led the NHL in the shutouts. I'll truely be surprised if anyone ends up getting it besides him.
