FYI, Hutson has been playing with Struble (7D) on his off-side at least since the 4 nations break if not longer. It makes what he's doing even more impressive.

He's a lot better and more skillful as a LD (his natural position).

It is amazing that he’s playing on his off side and being so productive. Great game from him tonight. Dustin Wolf was the star but Hutson was terrific.

Now you are just making stuff up, like get serious.

I checked and you are using puckpedia then forgetting to think, like the 3rd line player Konecky leads the team in scoring and all forwards with 16:44 ES TOI?

If Cates is their 1C, then his line is 1st. You can check tonight's game. Cates is 21:24, Foerster is 20:36. It's 1st line minutes. Oh, and they have Ristolainen as their 1st PP QB, seriously.

Not necessarily. Suzuki has arguably been our most valuable player. Does that make his season more impressive than Connor McDavids, who is the second most valuable oiler after Draisatl?

Or a case could be made for Hutson being our MVP. Does that put his season above Cale Makars, who may or may not be the most valuable player on Colorado with Nate Mackinnon?

Why are you discussing those players when none of them are rookies?

One outlier game doesn't make a season does it?

The rookie who is most valuable to their team is the rookie who had the best season. Whether that team finishes first, last, or had to break a tie to get into the playoffs, it's the same player.

Since I'm a Flames fan... this is how Wolf stacks up against all goalies with 15+ GP
  • .915 SV%, 5th
  • 22 Wins, T-11th (T-21st in GP)
  • 4 Shutouts, T-11th (9 goalies are T-2nd w/ 4)
  • 9th in Goals Saved Above Expected (per moneypuck)

What a great rookie class.
4 guys running away with it.

I would give it to Wolf, because his impact for the team is imo the biggest.
But all 3 skaters look like candidates for the hall of fame one day.

Can't remember a rookie class with 4 such high end players at all positions.

Fair points but the finalists right now would be Celebrini, Hutson and Wolf IMO and barring injuries I doubt this will change.

As explained before, that is highly dependent on the team these players are on, and also the position they play.

Flames are last in the league in goals for. And yet, we’re in the playoffs. Wold with another shutout tonight, too. Wolf for Calder. It’s simply really. For rookies, he’s had the biggest impact for team success and likely the biggest reason why Flames are competing. What’s so hard to understand about this?

Wolf deserves to be in the conversation.
But I would hold off the highest impact talk. The Habs were the WORST team in the league until about late November when Hutson had a more timid start. When he started producing, the Habs became almost unbeatable.
He hit a wall just before the 4 Nations break with the team losing 7 out of 8.
Since the break, Habs had won 5 straight with Hutson producing in each of the win.
Hutson is directly responsible for the team being in the playoffs race (along Caufield and Suzuki).

They were 13-3-1 beating every powerhouse along their way. Strictly referring to that stretch.

Every team's record is great when you eliminate most of their losses. :laugh: You claimed since the end of November, then remove 1/4 of the games played since then because your team sucked.

Even then you're straight up f***ing lying about their record. :biglaugh:

In December ALONE the Habs were 9-5-0.

Do you think the rest of us are too stupid to be able to read game results or something?

Lie to us some more.
