Epic Calder Race 2024-25

Another thing that's been going on is the Sharks have been without their 1D for 8 games now. The defense is absolute garbage even with him, Walman is literally the only competent puck mover from the back and transition as well as o zone possession has really suffered. Celebrini works well with Walman especially on the pp, so he has been missing his presence.

His return should change things.

As the best player in your team, you drive the to make the play. You control the flow of your offense. Hutson did that and earn the trust of MSL. MSL started to use Hutson at every opportunity. He even double shifted Hutson when he wasn't satisfied with Struble.

You don't even know what you're talking about. Habs were terribad early on and everything you wrote there is false.

First 20 games
Hutson 11 points -12
Habs record 7-11-2 .400

Last 21 games
Hutson 20 points +5
Habs record 13-7-1 .642

Hutson has the greatest increase in both point production and +/- on the entire Habs squad between the first 20 games and the last 21 games.

He's been the MVP of their resurgence.

Saying 11 in 20 isn’t producing is being absolutely disingenuous. You want to say he’s elevated his play and productivity, that’s fine but don’t pretend that isn’t producing already.

Not really. You complained about Celebrini linemates. I am simply tell you Celebrini didn't get better linemates because he doesn't earn the trust of his coach. You talked about Celebrini depends on Walman. He shouldn't be if he is the best player in your team.

Irrelevant to my post. Just you trying to pump the tires of your guy unprompted.

I don't need to pump the tires of my guy. If Celebrini don't get better linemates, I don't think he can challenge the Calder with Hutson.

Where's Mike Kelly?

Hutson needs a 10pts gap to win it. Simply leading rookie scoring as a D is not enough for the fine folks at the NHL network.

Has of today it Hutson easily, age has nothing to do with rookie of the year your one or your not what he's doing has a rookie defense easily beats what Celebrini or Mitchkov are doing has forward and on top he's leading the rookies scoring race.

If you guys are confident in Lane, bet your house on it!

As of today, this is what people putting their money where there mouth is think:

• Celebrini -250
• Hutson +300
• Michkov +600

A reminder that when Celebrini was injured, Hutson was +4000 and Michkov was -800, so the line moves a ton. Point being: nobody has it "easily" with ~40 games left. But it's fun to pretend otherwise, right??!?!

I bet when the odds were 30:1 a little over a month ago.
