Epic Calder Race 2024-25

[karltonian]

Celebrini had a nice goal, but honestly he hasn't looked as good to me in the past few games. Long season wearing on all these rookies. Anything can happen thru April.

I think he's looked just about as good but smith tends to kill plays and possessions and adding graf made things even more mercurial.

Smith has been creating and feeding plays more so than killing plays and possession as of late. Smith isn’t as bad as you think

 

[hohosaregood]

i've seen enough. give it to askarov

 

[shello]

Not if he continues to be the worst rookie in plus/minus. Might be silly but a rookie defensemen that is on pace for -35 will be criticized harder then a forward that is on pace for the same -35.

Silly thing to care about when Hutson is on a bad team. Maybe if he was on Winnipeg or something

Not worth it, that guy hates Smith.


However... Yaroslav Askarov has entered the chat. What are we going to do? He might seriously ruin the tank.

Whenever I like his posts, I wish we had a 50/50 emoji to show I'm not with him completely. I mean, dude is trying to make "Beanie" a thing like "fetch"

Every time I see "beanie" or "ahl smith" I want to crawl into a hole and die. So I feel you.

Yeah that's how it work. Habs are winning lately and hutson is +6 in his last 10 games. Magical

 

[HuGo Sham]

Habs fan saying it's Celebrini.
But I will say what Hutson is doing is nuts.
55th in total ice time in the NHL. Playing top 2
22 mins a night. 27 pts in 39 games.
He's no PP specialist.
Some love for Heineman and his 10 goals too

 

[Jabba11]

Celebrini is gonna run away with it. But Lane will be close behind. Will be fun to watch!

meh, he still isn't keeping up with celebrini more often than not. i mean he really isn't ready for nhl top 6 minutes but he does have some chemistry with mack so it is what it is.

i just want BEANIE to put this race away so it bums me out when he makes an insane pass to AHL SMITH and he basically does nothing with it, loses the puck, and has no chance of getting it back or even checking the player that took it. then celebrini has to backcheck all the way into the d zone and strip it away.

Why do you think you traded for Georgiev?

Askarov giveth, Georgiev taketh.

Askarov giveth, Georgiev taketh.

Except Askarov has gotten back to back starts twice since we traded Blackwood and has played really well. Hard to justify demoting him.

 

[Jee]

Scratch errthing, Dobes is gonna win it.

YOU HEARD IT HERE FIRST

 

[Bouboumaster]

Dobes > Celebrini > Hutson > Michkov > Heineman = Wolf

Don't need to demote him. Just tell him you're 'pacing' his workload and he splits starts with George.

Or pull a Benning and tell him he's too good.

 

[Barrie22]

Only reason askarov is wven with the big club is because we had 2 nhl ready goalies signed when the trade was made and then the only trade we could make for blackwood was to Colorado which needed to shed money and a goalie. Luckily Vanecek got hurt and we are getting an extended look at askarov.

I do hope when Vanecek comes back that Georgiev is sent down to the ahl and asked not to report for the rest of the season.

And his post is not even factual. Hutson is now +/-0 at 5vs5 on the season and is +6 in his last 18 games.

If people look-up his +/- right now, at -8, it's all from empty net situations where he is 0gf 8ga.

With how he's been playing in the last 5 weeks, he might finish a positive despite all the empty nets.

 

[Dion TheFluff]

1/2 way through top 5
1) Celebrini
2) Hutson
3) Michkov
4) Wolf
5) Stankoven
(Askarov could work his way in here once he starts getting more games)

As does Dobes...

 

[Dion TheFluff]

As does Dobes...

guy has literally played 2 games and was only average in the AHL. Not even close

 

[Jee]

by average you mean the best to have ever played the game?

 

[wetcoast]

2 games but sure whatever man.

I know that you and Jee are the exception but this is why.......you can fill in the rest.

I just go from the Askarov pov.

Just 5 more games played. Also, having both Askarov and Dobes having strong but late debutes might remove some of the shine on Wolf.

But holy hell, what a rookie class.
