Epic Calder Battle in 2024-25 Season

[Xirik]

Meanwhile Casey lurks bellow with a point per game in the AHL and still holding the most goals by a rookie defenseman this season in the NHL. He awaits the next season to return and lay waste to his enemies and hear the lamentations of their women.

Any Michkov fanboy making fun of fans of ANY prospect for being fanboys is hilarious to me. All of HFB prospect threads has been a Michkov clown show since 2023.

Michkov is undoubtedly in the race and probably the front runner. Posters claiming "AINEC" or that it's abundantly clear who will win the Calder, and that anyone who disagrees with them is not serious, are not serious.

Serious posters will say, damn, this is an exciting Calder race and with 55+ games remaining it'll be really fun to see what happens.

But I'm just an irrational Sharks fan who can't see the obvious truth. That Michkov is so far ahead in posts/60 that he's due for regression and over 1 goal per game incoming. Did you hear he hit a post?

My votes as of now are Celebrini & Wolf.

Most of Michkov's points seem to be coming on the PP while Celebrini is getting a lot more done @ 5 on 5 with a much worse supporting cast.

Macklin Celebrini. NHL rookie of the month for November. That is all.

People say a lot of really dumb things around here don't get your feelings hurt, nobody is a clear front runner as of now and there is a lot of hockey to still be played, in my opinion Wolf is having the biggest impact for his team right now, but it's a hard award for a goaltender to win so we'll see what happens.

But his linemates have a lot more points than any Philadelphia player who is not named Konecny, and Konecny does not play on the same line with Michkov, so I am afraid that Michkov's supporting cast is much worse and this is an argument against Celebrini whooops

 

[Sergei Shirokov]

Celebrini is the best rookie clearly imo. Now that he's back & playing like it I think it's his to lose.

Michkov/Wolf are the other finalists for me.

Of michkovs 19 points, konecny has been apart of 10 of his points, so it would seem he plays with him much more then philly fans want to admit to.

Touche brother, i did indeed forget those two games and you made me eat poop for it

Respect


Michkov is pretty far ahead offensively when you take in context of p60 and xgf numbers with puck luck.


Picture should be clearer by Jan

Sounds good, I’ll make sure to come back to laugh at you again in January.

Points in November are worth half of what they are in October so michkov still easily is the superior talent
