Brock Faber, the Minnesota Wild defenseman, finished second in the Calder Trophy voting, with Chicago's Connor Bedard winning the title. Despite the loss, Faber displayed an impressive rookie season, excelling in various aspects, such as power-play quarterbacking and high ice time, even playing through injuries. Alongside Marco Rossi, Faber made it to the NHL All-Rookie Team, a unique achievement for the Wild. Faber showed remarkable offensive and defensive skills, setting new records for the team, and might be in line for a contract extension. Faber's positive attitude and dedication to improvement were highlighted during the NHL Awards, where he embraced the recognition and the experience in Las Vegas.
