This statement is completely false. The Canadians have 14 players with 20 points or more. Sharks have/had 8 players(including Granlund/Walman). The Canadians have 12 players with 10 goals or more. The Sharks have 6. Don’t even have to mention the goalies. The Sharks only had one top 4 quality Dman all season in Walman. None, after the trade deadline. It’s pretty difficult to get the puck back when the D-core is full of AHL/bottom pairing Dman. Celebrini played 15-20 games with Goodrow who put up an astonishing 2 points in those games and still maintained a .90 PPG in those games.The whole notion that Celebrini did more with less is false. Hutson was the better, more impactful player, on a starting team that equally bad. Lane Hutson is the reason the Habs moved from 15th in the east to 8th. Mike Grier is the reason the Sharks finished so low. If you swap Hutson and Celebrini the Habs don't make the playoffs. He simply had the better rookie season.
Anyways, IMO Hutson will win it. A lot of rookies performed exceptionally well but Hutson put up an historic rookie season.
