Celebrini for Calder

Interesting stats so far and obviously a tiny sample size but Macklin has scored all of his goals at home this season. 8 goals, 3 assists in 8 games at Home compared to 0 goals, 5 assists in 11 games on the Road.
He's an entertainer, eh?

Or maybe it's his mom watching from the stands that gives him a little something extra.

Well on the main boards, Lane Hutson is apparently ahead of Celebrini in the race! You know, the -12, 8 primary assists, and 0 goals in 30 games Lane Hutson.
I decided against ever going into that thread before Michkov's recent hot streak. I can't even imagine how intolerable it much be right now. Best to avoid it altogether.
 
Time for everyone to go to the Calder thread!

Posted this on purpose knowing Macklin would read this and immediately prove he aint no slouch and can score on the road as well
 
I don't necessarily think of Smith as soft so much as it is that he simply doesn't have the strength to play like Celebrini does, even if he wanted to. Now do I think he'll ever want to have that level of defensive compete? No, but I think over time he'll probably get to a point where he's at least competitive in puck battles and not as easy to push around on the ice.

But the Sharks definitely need more physicality at the wing position.
I have no problem with Smith not being a physical player. If he tried to play that way it would be bad news for him. The reference to Pavelski is a good one, though Pavs had better strength--lower center of gravity, basically--which helped, but we'll see how Smith develops. I think it's important for guys to be encouraged to play to their strengths as they develop, and see how they can develop a better all-around game as they get older.

More physicality at the wing is definitely something we will want/need. I have in the past compared Musty to the Rangers' Will Cuylle, just sort of based on size and potential play-style, but I've been super impressed by Cuylle's breakout this year in his second NHL season. He'll be 23 in February, so I think it's important we keep that in mind with Musty. In a couple years he may well be able to start developing a game like Cuylle's that can translate very well to the NHL. That would be awesome for both him and the Sharks. Let's hope he can do something like that.
 
Michkov is awesome, I have no beef with him and wish him well. But his fans are obnoxious.
Trust me when I say flyers fans might be happy with Michkov, but they are nihilistic about their team lol.

Tortz keeps them hovering away from top 5 picks and Michkov is literally all they have
 
Lmao I didn't realize Michfraud is shooting 20% and he's still on a lower goals per game pace than Macklin shooting sub-15%.

The smurf is straight up awful at everything other than scoring power play and 3v3 goals but even that is a mirage.

This race won't even be close by the end of the season.

There is a great post on either the calder or Michkov thread that explains away these silly stats because Michkov is actually an outlier
