There has been some talk about the Calder trophie (Rookie of the Year) that has mentioned Young, and Carrie Wilson (28 years old) of Calgary. But as I recall there was a big flap a few years ago when Peter Stastny won the Calder. Some owners (Ballard, maybe?) and general managers, and fans thought that it was unfair for some 24 or 25 year old European to come to North America and beat out all the teenaged Canadians (and Americans now, I guess) for the Rookie honors. There was some talk about putting an upper limit on the age of the Calder winner. I thought that that had been passed but I assume from the Young and Wilson talk that it never was.
