The last Montreal Canadiens rookie D that had his impact level was named Chris Chelios.

You'd swear his name is Cale Makar
- Makar played (rookie) with Mac, Rant & Landy from the get go (at ES and PP).
- he played PP1 and had the most PP minutes of all Ds on his team in his first 20 games
In his first 20 games, Hutson had half of Makar's PPmin (1st 20 games) and was playing PP2. Matheson was used on PP1. In Hutson's 1st 20 games, he barely played with Suzuki and Caufield (at ES and PP), whom are good, but far from the same level as the Avs trio were.
Despite all that, it took Hutson only 6 more games to get to 50 pts. Hutson had 4 pts on the PP in his first 20 games. Makar had 9.

Nice double screen. That's 1.5-2x more screens than Celebrini ever gets. The Sharks are absolutely horrific.
Remember when people said he wouldnt do this kind of stuff in the NHL? that was funny.
Doesn't look like a secondary assist to me

Your first 2 bullet points make no sense. Every team in the nhl would be happy to have Hutson in their top 4 and pp1. He isn't playing there just because theres no one better on the habs. He deserves that role with his play. He was also used on pp2 for the first 20 games.
Since Nov 27, approximately the time Hutson went full time on pp1
46 gp
5g, 37 assists
9g, 75point pace.
Plus minus of zero (yes that includes that minus 5 night vs the leafs)
All while playing musical chairs with partners, often playing on his off side.
Makar had 50 points in 57 games as a rookie, a 71 point pace. Now there are things that makar does that hutson can’t, but some food for thought for those of you that are still resisting the idea that lane Hutson is having an absolutely ELITE rookie season.

Lane is playing at another level right now , sucks for everyone else in the race
At this point, I think the three nominees are 99% guaranteed: Hutson, Celebrini, Wolf. Michkov has lost too much ground.
There are 3 defensemen in the league with more power play points than Hutson and they've played ~250, ~225, and ~200 powerplay minutes respectively.
Hutson is at 177 and there's a chunk at the start of the year where he was on PP2. For your own sake don't look at what that unit looked like outside of him.
He could always go off and get things close again, I think he's got one more streak in him this year
Hutson is absolutely the front runner. Celebrini and Wolf are close, but that gap is clear. It's absolutely insane how well Hutson has contributed to the Habs success this year

- Hutson played second pairing for half the season behind Matheson. Matheson was 8th in the NHL among dmen in PP points last year.
- Hutson is currently tied for 13th in ESP with Adam Fox, Theodore, and Montour.
- Hutson has 30 ESP, Celebrini has 27.
- I don't know where to find specific stats on contributing to goals they contributed on so I'll pull WOWY. Hutson + Suzuki been on ice together for 30 goals for 14 against. Hutson has been on the ice for 27 w/o Suzuki, Suzuki 28 w/o Hutson. Celebrini with the leading scorer (after him) on his team has been on the ice for 20 goals with Eklund, 13 w/o. Saying Hutson benefits from Suzuki... he scores more w/o Suzuki than Celebrini does with Eklund.
Hutson has been nothing short of amazing. We don't have to try to diminish what he's doing, he's been fantastic.
Pretty much. And he's a d-man. Celebrini is a freaking centerman. He should be many more points ahead of him even if they were of equal performance. How does so many people skip over that?
Right now, it's Hutson and then Wolf and Celebrini.

I don't care about the haters and if he doesn't win the Calder. This kid is clutch, exciting and explosive to watch. Amazing pick for our team
not even half as funny as some of the posters in his thread who aren't even trying to be funny

Born. Raised. Habs. Always.
Hutson is the clear frontrunner, it's his to lose, no question

Hutson (ranks among Defenseman)
* 0.79 Pts/game (9th)
* 22:20 TOI/game (46th)
* 23 PP Points (4th)
* 2:42 PP TOI/game (22nd)
* 1.75 Takeaways/60 (6th)
* 54.7 Corsi with 71.2% Offensive zone starts. Paired with different guys all season long. Hutson is certainly not riding the coattails of a veteran stud
Celibrini may be the better player in the long run but the Calder is Hutson’s to loose at this point. Celibrini is nowhere near the top of the forwards lists like Hutson is compared to all the defensemen
