Kane takes home Calder Trophy: Patrick Kane, who led rookies with 72 points (21 goals, 51 assists) in 82 games, is the first Blackhawks player to win the Calder Trophy (NHL's top rookie) since goalie Ed Belfour in 1990-91. He also edged Chicago linemate Jonathan Toews for the award. Toews led rookies with 24 goals despite missing more than a month with a knee injury. Nicklas Backstrom was second in rookie scoring with 69 points (14-55) in 82 games. A smiling Kane revealed he made a bet with Toews just before the awards show. "It was $500 for the winner. I'll take it," he said. (Updated 06/13/2008).

Fantasy Analysis
Kane had some trouble in January and February when Toews was out with a knee injury, but the two clicked again in March and Kane had finished strong. Kane will likely be treated as a No. 3 Fantasy forward on Draft Day 2008, but could develop into a must-start option by season's end. (Updated 06/13/2008).
