We sincerely apologize for the extended downtime. Our hosting provider, XenForo Cloud, encountered a major issue with their backup system, which unfortunately resulted in the loss of some critical data from the past year.
What This Means for You:
- If you created an account after March 2024, it no longer exists. You will need to sign up again to access the forum.
- If you registered before March 2024 but changed your email, username, or password in the past year, those changes were lost. You’ll need to update your account details manually once you're logged in.
- Threads and posts created within the last year have been restored.
Our team is working with Xenforo Cloud to recover data using backups, sitemaps, and other available resources. We know this is frustrating, and we deeply regret the impact on our community. We are taking steps with Xenforo Cloud to ensure this never happens again. This is work in progress. Thank you for your patience and support as we work through this.

Aren't those guys all worth 1st round picks tho?
I'm a bit surprised you're back after the colossal L you took early in the season
Exactly 1 person in the first page of that thread "thought" we'd be a playoff team and he was facetiously saying we'd win the cup, no fans were thinking of a playoff berth as anything but a dream scenario

I believe Vegas odds had them finishing 5th last before the season.
But no one knew that Alex Carrier would be landed in a blockbuster trade.
man, there were some takes in that thread.
Interesting alot less optimism than this thread and posts from August where somr ppl thought it could be fighting for playoffs.
The state of the Habs Rebuild - The Next step
Either way SJ is the worst of the bunch obviously
That's supposed to be optimistic? Did you post the wrong page? (Honestly asking, most of that is doom and gloom)
I think there was more optimism in August because it's when we got Laine. When he's in the lineup we've played at a playoff point-pace. Some of that is having another scoring option on the PP but the bigger part is he returned when Hutson replaced Matheson on PP1 and started getting top-pairing ES minutes consistently.
While it's close, Hutson is still clearly ahead. It's like the 99th percentile vs the 98th percentile - it is very close, but one is just ahead. And that's no slight on Celebrini, or Wolf for that matter, or even Michkov who I thought was going to win coming into this season. Hutson is the best player on a team that is holding onto the WC2 spot, and could potentially break records and is scoring at a pace that only HOF/future HOFers have done.

One is having a historical rookie season and breaking records, the others are having great rookie seasons similar to what hundreds of other rookies have had.

Probably a more relevant and probative brain exercise is to think about how well Hutson would be doing on the Sharks without Celebrini. Yeah.
Yeah.

Some interesting facts: Lane Hutson is 6th OA by secondary assists in the whole league. 30 out of his 51 assists are secondary.
Celebrini has 15 secondaries, and Michkov 13.
So Michkov has 41 primary points, Celebrini 38 and Hutson 26.

Top ten in another category. Impressive! I wonder if that is a record.

Celebrini is having a great rookie season, we've seen those rookie numbers hundreds of times in the last 100 years of hockey. Hutson is having a HISTORICAL season up there will top 5 greatest rookies. So what's the argument here? There is none.

A defenseman who is great at transition is getting plenty of secondary assists!

With 10ish games to go, Celebrini is having the 19th best season all time for an 18 year old, with a chance to tie MacKinnon and Bedard for 13th.
So no, we have not seen this hundreds of times. Doesn't take away from Lane but no need to underestimate what Celebrini is doing.

The most fascinating aspect of the Celebrini vs Hutson debate is that they are both having utterly ridiculous seasons at the peak of professional hockey yet less than a year ago the college team they were #1C and #1D teammates on couldn't even win the championship.

Takes more than two players to make a hockey championship team. They were also both under the median age in Div1. That inexperience was probably a hurdle and a factor in not winning a championship.
