You're aware that betting odds are calculated to attract bets on both sides and to make the house win no matter what the outcome is and relying on them to illustrate a "perceived chance" is completely erroneous right?Given the betting odds and the fact that there is only 1 months left in the (regular) season, I can't imagine Celebrini losing...

If you feel the odds are a poor representation of who will win, feel free to bet on Hutson or Wolf or <fill in the blank> and make a TON of money. Please let me know who you bet on and how much you made.
Habs will go back to back on Calder winners.
Sports gambling is a cancer. I may be interested in making a personal bet with you at the end of the season however.
so you're bringing up a guy who won 40 years ago why? You win. I should have prefaced my post with "in modern times..."
You have that last part wrong. While you are correct that the odds offered are not true odds due to the bookmaker margin, the relative odds in situations like this are generally reflective of who the bookmakers believe will win.
And support all those cancerous gambling ads with my wallet? Not a chance.
I dunno who's going to win, but gambling odds =/= probabilities.
That's not true. It's a combination of both probability and the need of casinos to get an equal amount of money to bet on both sides.
When they mix probability with the need of casino it stops being probability.
I think we can at least all agree that this is the best Calder race since the Makar/Hughes/ Fox/Marino/ Kubalik race.
This applies to every player in the league lol. Great plays don’t always result in production and it’s not exclusive to your favourite teams young star. Sorry I just love how meaningless this sentiment is, carry on y’all.
He was just illustrating that Hutson is amazing to watch live. Considering he’s having the best rookie season by a defenseman in 30+ years, I’d say he has a point. But tell us again how watching some random 4th liner is the same experience.
It's really hard to have 6+ legit contenders as teams can only provide so many top line/MPG/PP opportunities to rookes as those are often reserved for veteran and peak players.
The winner last year was -44 in 68 games, voters realize when a worthy candidate plays on a really bad team and I'm surprised that you don't know this.
And the relative odds have nothing at all to do with which player the bookmakers believe is likely to win (“completely erroneous”)?
I didn't say that, but the numbers are more than distorted enough by their algorythm for them not to be reliable to use as probabilities, imo.
You posted in disagreement to my response to the person who posted that verbatim and I never suggested odds were probabilities, so not sure your point beyond obfuscation.
What was the point? That Hutson has created good chances that didn’t result in goals? Wow. That really elevates him above all the other players, who have their chances converted for goals 100% of the time obviously.
I explained to you the point and the context of the statement in question, since you didn’t seem to get it and instead used it to whine. You still aren’t getting it, so I won’t bother to explain it again. Some people just like to whine for the sake of it, I guess.
Would love for Hutson to win it, but playoffs, or not it's Wolf's.
Unless he Just completely shits the bed for the last month.
I think without him Calgary is dead last, or at the least bottom 3 easily.

Doesnt matter if hes playing his off side or not. Makar was a recent Calder winner. I dont think you want to start comparing Hutson to him. Cause there is zero chance Hutson finishes 2nd in Norris voting next year, etc.
