To me, it looks like Faber has impressed quite a few voters for this award. The thing about Faber is he dominates other statistics than Bedard would by being a defenseman. Things like first pair, shut down defender, TOI, PPQB, and +/- are stats where he will be better than Bedard. Bedard, one would expect as a forward will dominate the points category. 

I think there will be some head to head matchups where we will look and see how well Bedard does against Faber on the ice. That could be a determining factor in Calder votes since they should see each other 4 times this year.

I'd also point out that availability and durability are both abilities.

Let's face it, he's the Wild's best defenseman right now. 

Spurgeon is missed and Brodin is not chop-liver but since when does he score 25+ points?

It's the transition now between old defenseman base and new future of the Wild's defense.

And with that in mind the Wild need to draft big nasty defensemen.
