Calder Watch : 2024-25 Season

[koyvoo]

It's obviously Hutson now, despite his weird face.

Celebrini's chance was nuked with the shameless tanking Shark mgmt has done since trading Blackwood.

I’d love to see your rankling of the last 10 Calder winners based on…cuteness.

yup they already had league-last defense and now are basically starting every shift in their zone other than icings.

and now the coach is trying to make smith the F1 on the top line which he absolutely can't do.

It’s not about cute, it’s about the guy looks like he’s wearing a skin suit.

Fr, no way for their young forwards to get the puck. Not a good development strategy imo.

And even then, celebrini should have had 2-3 more points tonight.

So, just to be clear, is physical appearance a requisite for winning the Calder, or are you just mean spirited and petty?

 

[Frank Drebin]

I respect the honesty. I don’t like him because i don’t like him.
Better than the twerps hiding behind false narratives

Oilers without Drai, playoffs
Jets without Hell, playoffs

...Jack Adams...he's the brains behind this operation...

 

[Lafleurs Guy]

I don’t see how it’s anyone other than Hutson now.

 

[BigDaddyLurch]

...nothing else needs to be said...

Well you need to be a human being to win and not a lizard man wearing a skin suit and the jury is still out

 

[BergevinBurner]

Realistically the Calder race was over long ago.

It would've been highway robbery to award the Calder Trophy to a forward putting up numbers we see on the regular from top end forward prospects when there's a defense prospect putting up near historic numbers.

Over the last decade there has been 15 forwards that put up 60+ point rookie seasons, not to mention that Jason Robertson and Kaprizov were on pace to blast past 60 points if the 2020-21 season wasn't 56 games. Over the last 3 decades there have been 0 rookie defensemen to pass 60 points, at least until this season.

 

[Big Trout]

Pissed about? I’m a Penguins fan. What reason would I have to have any strong opinion about this player? You seem mad that your boy looks like a lizard man.

He's got the Datsyuk alien shaped head special. These are very special players.

 

[domiwroze]

The league ain't gonna give no trophy to a rookie that's diving like Michkov did tonight, flop away little fish

He's not even top3.

Hutson
Celebrini Wolf
The rest

 

[behemolari]

Gotta be Lane "The Lizard" Hutson

 

[StLewis11]

I just checked the stats and Hutson leads the league in secondary goals. Has a rookie ever done this?

Pardon my ignorance, I know what a secondary assist is, but what is a secondary goal?

 

[tiburon12]

Not taking away from Hutson's sick goal, but let's give some credit to Sam Ersson. Leans against and pushes the post back just enough to give us a season highlight AND help the Flyers tank. Dude knows his assignment

 

[Fledgemyhedge]

weird face and super cocky. There is some strange shit in this thread

 

[JustAHabFan]

Jury is still out? I can't stop laughing? Who is going to challenge Hutson for the Calder?

 

[BehindTheTimes]

He has begun proving himself you are correct. But there's still a long way to go before he can be compared to Suzuki who is still improving and hasn't even hit his own ceiling yet.

You’re making Habs fans look bad here. Let it go. Celebrini definitely has a higher ceiling. Whether he reaches it remains to be seen.

Man some of the takes here are quite funny. Just goes to show how green some really are.

Are you talking about Brady Tkachuk

 

[Frank Drebin]

Pardon my ignorance, I know what a secondary assist is, but what is a secondary goal?

Hutson threads have become incredibly thick with sarcasm as a way of mocking all of the dumb takes we’ve had to endure about him this season.

First he was too small, weak and slow to play in the NHL


Then he was ok offensively but horrible defensively, a gadget player like tyson barrie

Then he was a secondary assist leech


Then finally, shayne gostisbehere had a better rookie season


The mocking is deserved, and will continue until further notice

Vegas odds!

That's opinion not fact. Right now Suzuki is superior until proven otherwise
