Celebrini for CALDER

[NiWa]

How many calder winners did we have in the last decade, that won it the year straight after the draft?

Bedard, Matthews, Ekblad, and Mackinnon going back to 2013.

Thanks - pretty good company overall.

Then again at least half Hutson's points aren't particularly impressive. They are like, decent plays on the PP that one of their shooters buries or sends cross-crease. The team is clicking.

Celebrini on the other hand has to do all the work and is key to almost all the goals he gets points on.

Are you saying that none of those secondary assists were passes that started plays that led to goals? If they were so easy, shouldn’t other d-men on the Canadiens have close to as many? They don’t. Hutson’s IQ on the ice is off the charts.

You have no idea how bad the Sharks are. Hutson has players that can do something with a puck passed to them. The Sharks have literally none.

I get that. My point was that if secondary assists were so easy, other d-men on the Canadiens would be closer to Hutson in point totals, but they’re not. Bottom line: they’re both exceptional players.

No he doesn't. Aside form the first line and Laine the others would screw up 9 of 10 scoring chances.
It should be close they have similar point totals but Hutson has played more games and of course is older.

I think a convincing argument can be made that any of those 4 players would be the best linemate Celebrini ever had.

Friendly reminder to our visiting Habs fans that there is a thread on the main boards to argue about this.

Sharks will have 10 players score 15 or more points, 5 of them no longer play for the sharks as we speak today.

Montreal will have 17 of them.

Always enjoy the oh the canadiens just have zero depth it is only hutson and every odd game caulfield, suzuki, slaf.

 

[Patty Ice]

Yes please glaze Hutson in the Habs forum or the main one. We don't need the over spillage here.

 

[Lebanezer]

I don’t really care about the Calder because Celebrini is the better player. You can laud Hutson for his point totals and his positive impact, but just like with Michkov, there is no comparison. Would I like Celebrini to win it, of course, but I’m just happy he's on the Sharks.

Incredible to see them ignore suzuki's 18pts in 11 games since the 4 Nations break, or Caufield hitting 30, or Slaf finally playing great hockey, etc

No, it's ALL Lane

 

[karltonian]

When you look at that and realize Toffoli is literally the best we've got ...

Like he could be in behind the defense and receive a Celebrini dime and it's not even guaranteed he'd get a breakaway.

 

[Stewie Griffin]

Imagine the backlash one of us would get if we went into the Habs Hutson thread while Celebrini was on a hot streak just to glaze

My favorite is the "but he wasnt on PP1 till November!!!!" yet they never acknowledge the 12 games played difference

I got laughed at in the main board thread when I mentioned he hadn't scored in "two games." We are spoiled with this 18 year old 1C who has had about 3 bad games all year.
