"Calder Runner-Up Watch"
...let's not get too cocky yet...still games to be played...we can celebrate Hutson without being denegrating to other great rookies this Season...it's a STELLAR class...
Its over. If Hutson doesn't produce another point, its still over....let's not get too cocky yet...still games to be played...we can celebrate Hutson without being denegrating to other great rookies this Season...it's a STELLAR class...
...it's not over...there are still games to be played...and even if it is, we can celebrate Hutson without disparaging the other worthy Calder candidates...
The other candidates are worthy of runner up. Which this thread must now pivot to....it's not over...there are still games to be played...and even if it is, we can celebrate Hutson without disparaging the other worthy Calder candidates...
All you need is secondary assists, apparently!
I’m blaming you if they tank next year and end up with McKenna.

Hutson deservedly has it in the bag, Montreal will be incredible in the coming years with Demidov added to the mix!
Somehow there's still people like you who just forget that they're comparing the points output of a defenseman with those of a center.
Honestly, with the past two games performance, Lane is a shoe in for the Calder, unless Michkov gets like 20 more points or something. Celebrini is definitely out of the running. He's too far back points-wise. The Flames aren't making the playoffs, so Wolf is out too.
I'd love to hear anyone's argument for voting against Hutson.
Look all of that is now irrelevant and it's not because Macklin isn't a stud
Hutson just surpassed the number 2 assist record and pacing to surpass number one quite soon
He's matched Makars number for assists and is 7th in assist for total players this year's, his rookie year
He could be the worst defensive player in the game but offensively it's clear that he's special and will be a game breaker
And when it comes to Dman points he's 4th after Makar, Hughes and Werenski
The alternative is a Crosby and Ovechkin like rookie year when both ended up with 100 plus points and were 4th and 6th in points. If Macklin was pacing for that, we'd absolute have a worthy debate.

(He could be the worst defensive player in the game but offensively it's clear that he's special and will be a game breaker), you guy's have to stop, with he can't defend, he's pretty good defensively, and will get better.
Obviously a poolie who only looks at stats. Watch a game or two, then you will understand little man.All you need is secondary assists, apparently!

He's 6th among dmen for primary assists. He's also the rookie with the most primary assists.

Hutson has the Habs fighting for the playoffs. Macklin has the Sharks fighting for the 1st overall pick.
Obviously it’s not Celebrini’s fault, but he’d have to have ~20 more points than Hutson to be the Calder front runner. He’s producing less and his team is significantly worse in the standings. There’s no debate.

Most of the drafted players by Hughes haven't played yet....Demidov, Reinbacher, Fowler, Hage, and more
Watching a video where a content maker was making a comment on this. Pointed out Lane was on the ice for 13 empty netters against distorting his +-. So in this case take the +- with a bucket of salt.
Hutson has 9 more points in 12 more games. Celly and Hutson have roughly the same PPG average! So that can't be used anymore. Plus, people keep forgetting that Hutson is a dman. He should not be anywhere close to the same PPG as Celebrini / Michkov let alone leading all rookies in points.
