Celebrini for CALDER

Should be Hutson winning it. He has been a production machine for the Habs down the stretch in important games (3 points already today) and you just can’t ignore the point totals he is putting up. Hats off to him for producing a historic rookie season, possibly top 5 points in history for a defenseman. Unfortunately for Celebrini, with Michkov heating up and taking the most goals away from him I have a hard time seeing voters pass on Hutson at this point.

Sure feels like he stagnated. Long season but I honestly thought he's produce more tbh. But this team is like Uber cheeks so that doesn't help at all
I mean, he's still already the 19th best season by an 18 year old all time. He still has a chance to match Bedard's and MacKinnon's seasons. If you're disappointed in his season, your expectations were sky high.

The weight of having to carry a team that has continually offloaded what little talent they have for futures (which they had to do, don't get me wrong) is wearing on him. Teams can focus on his line and not worry too much about matching any other line.

I don't think he's tired so much as he needs more support.

I kinda get it, with the way he started. But also the Crosby comparisons (the ability comparisons not the stylistic ones) were never going to age well.

I still think Celebrini gets the Calder if Montreal misses the playoffs. But obviously his case is weaker than it was a few months ago.
 
Neither of those are really the bragging rights you think they are considering we’ve scored more than 2 in two of them.
I mean Macklin has 8 points in those 9, dude is doing all we can realistically expect. He's not going to go over 1 ppg by himself.

He's literally the only real impact player on the team.
 
When the Wolves vs Frontenacs series are done and Frontenacs win the series (2-0), Musty will be back to play for the Sharks remaning games. Celebrini will have someone who can score to help his cause for the Calder.

Musty's hurt and seemingly (badly) trying to play through it. I wouldn't count on him to ride in on a white horse and play savior for any aspect of the Sharks.

He'd probably have more if he shot more rather than try high-risk/high-rewward no-look cross ice passes to guys who couldn't score into an empty net, hence my original point.

Nah. He's going to be sitting at the dinner table in the Thornton house and pull a Patrick Roy, picking up his plate and walking past Joe while saying "I've played my last game as a San Jose Shark."

The last straw was that he asked for the salad dressing and Joe passed him balsamic vinaigrette instead of parmesan ranch.

Yeah. He’s not going to be standing away from the breakfast counter outside the Thornton house and stay completely still like a statue, keeping his plate right where it is while nodding at Joe and saying, "I’ll play a buttload more games as a San Jose Shark."

The first blessing was that he didn’t ask for the salad dressing, and Joe handed him parmesan ranch instead of balsamic vinaigrette.

And he passed it back, then Joe returned it.

This went on for 27 minutes.
