Epic Calder Race 2024-25

[bud12]

Yes, that’s for the entire season. If you look at their PP TOI numbers over the last 15-20 games it’s closer (though 36 extra seconds on a much worse PP isn’t gonna help too much). Though, due to games missed for Celebrini, I believe Hutson has more overall PP time.

I also asked to compare their 5 vs 5 production but that was ignored? Why? I don’t believe it’s even close in terms of production. Sharks are a much worse team and have a mediocre PP so Celebrini doesn’t really rack up PP points.

For your first affirmation, Hutson played only 1min more on the pp during the entire season even tough he played 9 mores games. Secondly, I've literally put their respective pp pts numbers. 9pts and 14pts. You only need some basic subtraction to find their ES pts. And you want to compare their ES or 5vs5 production when one is a foward and the other is a dman? Hutson isn't relying more on the pp than any other top 5dman. 40% of his pts are from the pp. Same has Makar. 1% less than Morrissey and 2% more than Hughes/Werenski

Hutson is 6th in the league for pts by a D, just saying...

As with Michkov before him, I am more than happy to concede that Hutson is the better PP player than Celebrini right now.

Celebrini is far and away the best even strength rookie, and it's not debatable.

He is the front runner for best even strength rookie award

A power play is a part of the game of hockey, Hutson shouldn't be dinged because he's especially proficient at one facet of hockey.

The Canadiens are in the playoff hunt pretty much off the back of Hutson's leap that he has taken these last 25ish games. He's pretty clearly the leader in the clubhouse for the Calder.

The question ain't about if Hutson will Win or not the Calder;

The real question is: aside of winning the Calder, will he also be nominated for either the Norris and/or the Hart?

...Habs fan thinking Wolf needs more love...he has Calgary in a playoff spot and has been THE main reason they even have a sniff at late spring hockey...don't sleep on him, as great as Hutson & Celebrini have been...

the REAL question, is what strain are you smoking and will you sell some to me? (I guess that's two questions).

I’m well aware. The Calder often just comes down to stat counting. So, since he brought up overall stats such as PP TOI, I’m asking for the numbers. I’ve seen the individual game numbers but couldn’t find the average for all games played.

I would be embarrassed to advocate for a Forward to win the Calder over a Defenseman with more points and more responsibility.

Super weird unprompted comment. You seem to think about Celebrini and the Sharks a lot. That tells you something.

In a thread that's about the Calder race between him and Hutson i'd say that's pretty normal, no?

You don't need to be sour grapes just because Hutson is outscoring your golden boy.

 

[MoneyManny]

He forgot to mention that Celebrini only got 0:54 of PP time while Hutson had nearly 4 minutes of PP time.

What the heil is that excuse? What's it gonna be next time the DEFENSEMAN Hutson outproduces him, dog ate his stick?

Why don’t you post their PP minutes numbers/data then as well as their 5 vs 5 points vs PP points + 4 vs 4/3 vs 3 numbers?

Why don't you post their position? Just the fact that you think you're comparing apples to apples is epic flattery for Hutson.

All this powerplay talk right after Hutson assists 3 even strength goals and finishes the night +3.

If you took away every single PP point he has and let every other rookie keep their PP points, he would still be 5th in rookie scoring (21 points), as a D, ahead of forward Cutter Gauthier.

Hutson has 3 goals and 21 assists in the last 22 games and is +9 during that period.

He is 19th in the entire league in points since Nov 27th.

Such an amazing race. A Forward vs a Defenseman vs a Goalie. And, for me, it's going to come down to whether Celebrini can keep up the pace as well as whether Wolf and Hutson can be the difference in getting their teams into the playoffs. From a media perspective, if all things are equal, it's Celebrini's to lose simply because he was 1OA and has lived up to the billing, which can be the tougher task...especially on a team that probably won't see the playoffs for a few more years.
