Celebrini for Calder

[Saskatoon]

Hutson is great but I just don't see a world where he's a serious threat to Mack. Like most small defensemen, he's pretty solid positionally and has a good stick, but he just gets lost too many times on cycles and obviously struggles mightily in front of the net.

It's little things like this play last night:



He's defending his guy, guy easily shakes him off, makes the pass to the center easily because the forward who should have been defending Miller was drawn to Hutson's man because he lost coverage. Not solely Hutson's fault by any means, but this is the area where he struggles a lot.

I agree but voters do like numbers and big markets. Karlsson won the Norris with gaudy point totals.

If Hutson outscores Celebrini wouldn't shock me if he gets it

I hate Habs fans from the bottom of my heart. So much ego for so little team success in the 21st century.

I much more enjoyed reading pro-Michkov posts in this accent:

Than reading pro-Hutson posts in this one:

(This is a joke. Just a joke. I love everyone. Goth help us when they find this thread)

Greg Wyshynski polled a wide selection of Professional Hockey Writers Association voters anonymously "Celebrini pulled nearly 90% of the first-place votes from our panelists to take control of the rookie of the year race." They have Michkov second and Hutson at third. I personally feel at this moment Hutson should be second and Michkov third.

At the midway mark of the 2024-25 season, are some awards already sewn up? We checked in with a panel of PHWA voters to check the temperature.

He needs to get away from smith for a while. We also need to play some f***in teams that are not at the top of the league, holy shit the last few weeks have been hell.

So when does Celebrini get the development day treatment?

Do NOT put that energy out there. I have tickets to the game Friday after missing him in Utah earlier this year because he was hurt. I'm trying to get my Celebrini jersey signed at warm ups. I will be pissed if he sits

It would the best for him and the team. Screw your measly jersey, think of the big picture.

Considering they play in Minnesota the following night, it would be smart for the team to sit him against Utah (sorry @SjMilhouse )
