Stop making shit up it's embarrassing. What f***in voters, we're not even at that point yet.
I guess we will hear from you next in June eh?

Voters have historical patterns so maybe take off your homer glasses?

Okay, but his team is so bad you’d expect him to be miles ahead of his teammates.
He is an 18 year old rookie that is playing a very complete game and is the frontrunner for the Calder right now.

I agree he’s playing great. But there’s a big difference in CF rel numbers when you play on Colorado vs San Jose. 16.1 is hilarious though.

As for him being THE front runner, I’d say it’s more accurate to say a front runner.

No telling what idiot voters would do but if the season progresses as it has been Hutson is the best rookie.

Mitchkov has struggled lately clearly but as I don't watch him play much what are the main reasons?

Some combination of obvious cold streaks rookies tend to go through , utilization , Tortorella showing that he is the biggest star on the Flyers and Mitchkov should learn that ?
Or is he just the type of player that tends to run very hot or very cold?
 
His game is so impressive because it's so complete for a rookie. It's gonna be awesome when he and Bedard sign in Vancouver in about a decade.

Some really amazing rookies this year. Celebrini is great , if he keeps this up the trophy will be his, he's definitely the most complete player of the 3.

Hutson is also doing amazing things , one of the most exciting young players to come up in a while on defence, he's got his warts, but his talent is undeniable.

Michkov is in a brutal slump where he seems to be -2 almost every night, but he will pick it up again. I wouldn't be shocked to see him go on another tear soon. All 3 players have a very bright future.

MM gets horrible treatment from the greatest of all head coaches. He will have hard lessons to learn playing few minutes a night. You can already see his confidence fading. So I don't expect him to really pick it up soon again unfortunately.

I like you sir/ma'am for appreciating all the three rookies. Merry Xmas!

3 horse race at this point.

My man Hutson is absolutely on fire.

Macklin Celebrini is at PPG and looks unreal.

Michkov has hit a mini slump mid season, but is can fill the scoresheet when on.
 
I don't see how anyone can watch (December 2024 versions) of Michkov and Celebrini and determine that they're on the same stratosphere. Celebrini was dropped into the league as an elite play-driving two-way center. Michkov has insane IQ but clearly lacks the speed and strength to have Celebrini's impact. Michkov was given 1st line and PP1 time from the shoot, so lets not act like he hasn't been given opportunity.
 
And Celebrini is only 18, so difficult to dominate in a league of fully grown men at that age. Very few ppg 18 year old seasons in nhl history. Crosby, Hawerchuk, Yzerman, Francis...i believe that's it. hard to keep it up over a whole season at that age so if he does it it'll be truly amazing. I imagine he'll be the best player in the league in five years.
 
I'm in love with Celebrinis game , It's his to lose , Hutson is pretty close though

Yeah , it's impressive, unfortunately for Macklin voters are supposed to ignore age
