GLENDALE --This Sunday, the three finalists for the Calder Trophy, the award given annually to the NHL's best rookie, will be announced. Playing in all 82 games this season, Coyotes forward Clayton Keller built a strong case to be included in that exclusive club.
"I've always been pretty confident and I think you have to be. It's something that I've always kind of had in me ever since I was young," said Keller, 19, who led Arizona and ranked second among NHL freshmen with 65 points. Keller also ranked within the top five in rookie goals (23) and assists (42). Twice the NHL recognized him for his stellar play by naming him its Rookie of the Month (October and March).
