Louis Blues defenseman Barret Jackman was awarded the Calder Trophy, presented to the National Hockey Leagues Rookie of the Year as voted on by the Pro Hockey Writer's Association.

Although it is not the Calder Trophy (voted on by just 62 National sports writers), in my mind this election carries a lot of weight.
