Epic Calder Race 2024-25

If it ended today, it's Hutson. More points than anyone and he's a blueliner.

But this is far from over. Four guys could win this. Epic race is epic and I'm looking forward to seeing how it ends.

I think it would be Celebrini if it ended today. Way higher PPG than Hutson.
1st line centre on the worst team in the league excelling in the toughest matchups while being responsible defensively.

Duh. He's a forward.

If Makar finishes a year with more points than McDavid or MacKinnon, he instantly gets all related trophies.

To have a better case than Hutson, Celebrini needs at least an extra 10 points lead on a defenseman. If anything I'm thinking Wolf is closer to Hutson currently.

Considering how many fewer games he has played, he basically does have that lead in terms of PPG.

His points per game are higher. Not 'way higher'. He's a centerman, Hutson's a blueliner. Great that he's responsible defensively, Hutson is a defenseman.

Leading in PPG is not the same thing as leading in points.

Like I said, this is anyone's race. But PPG don't tilt the scales here, esp when you're comparing a center to a blueliner.

We clearly just disagree and that’s fine. I feel the better PPG does tip the scales, you don’t. We’ll see.

and with just half a game in Casey is leading rookie defensemen in goals.
