I feel like Bobby Sharp of the Buffalo Stampede has the best chance out of the rookies to step up and take over for his team. If he shows up he'll easily be able to help guide them into a deep playoff run. Looking at his stats over the course of his rookie season, he has posted a healthy 11g-10a-21p while averaging 14 minutes a game. If he can either carry that same form or even elevate his game, he will easily take over as a rookie in his first playoffs in the SHL.

It is a decent start for the rookie and he could easily step up and be the key piece for the Stampede when they face off against Toronto.

I also believe Barry Batsbak could be a catalyst for Calgary if he was to step up from his regular season performance. If he shows up for the playoffs, he could easily steal the show, but I believe Bobby has the best chance overall.
