Toss up between Celebrini and Hutson for me

I had Celebrini first up until last game


Voted Hutson because of bias, but they are neck-and-neck for me

Overall, one of the better class in recent years

Michkov is a monster too, and could still end up as the best prospect of this class

HM to Wolf, Stankoven and our boi Heineman

 

[Doom Bot]

Celebrini still for me but Hutson is picking up the pace as the season goes on.

 

[Great Makohead Shork]

Celebrini still has the edge for me but the real winners are the fans. I've been tuning into more Habs and Flyers games than I can remember. Hutson's IQ impresses me more every time I watch and Michkov was an absolute monster before this slump. Wolf is a beast, too. Still lots of season to go, anyone of them can win it. I just feel like the drag of the back-half of the season won't affect Celebrini as much with his crazy conditioning. Excited to see how the rest plays out

 

[Connor McConnor]

Celebrini for me just because I value C > D but Lane is very close behind.

 

[majormajor]

Celebrini and it's not close (currently), though I wouldn't rule out Hutson (or Michkov or Wolf) in the second half.

 

[PainForShane]

Had to vote Celebrini but what Wolf has been doing is been pretty amazing (same with Hutson but enough ppl are talking about Hutson already)

Voted Hutson, but honestly all 3 of Hutson, Celebrini and Michkov are close. it'll come down to the 2nd half who wins.

I don't get why Wolf is even eligible to be honest. He played games last year, and the year prior too. Seems weird. I'd still have him 4th at best.

Wolf is eligible because he meets all the criteria...

He is also 13-6-2 with a 2.60 GAA and .914 Sv % on a team that is bottom 5 in goals scored.

What he is doing, as a rookie, is remarkable.

Demidov

Hutson
Wolf
Michkov

Wolf is having a great year, idk that he’ll be able to pass either of celebrini or Hutson…. But I think he def deserves top 3

 

[kevsh]

Celebrini, but like others I think Hutson is knocking on the door.

If the Flames make the playoffs and continue the abysmal offensive production they have put out the last couple of months, and Wolf's numbers continue... I don't see how it isn't him.

 

[Nico Cauzuki]

Celebrini but Hutson and Michkov are making this a very good race credit to Wolf also

 

[LaMasquerade]

Hutson has impressed me most, so between him and Celebrini he gets my vote. Celebrini has been very very good too, so I fully understand why most pick him.

I won't consider Wolf at all as it is so hard to compare goalies and skaters. Michkov was advertised to me as sure PPG (even 100P) guy, so kind of disappointed. Last 5 games 0 points and -6 or something. Could bounce back though.

 

[A Loyal Demidog]

Celebrini, but Hutson, Michkov, and Wolf are impressive. Great Calder year.

 

[Gaylord Q Tinkledink]

I really want Hutson to win, but given what Wolf is doing on a not very good team as a below average goalie in terms of size i have to go with him and Celebrini 2nd, Hutson 3rd.

Celebrini and Hutson are doing well, but its even more hard to have this impact on a game as a rookie goalie.

Yes, Wolf is like 3-5 years older than the players eligible that are up there, but it's still really impressive and would get my vote.

Wolf is a legit choice

IMO he's 4th but it's a really competitive year for the rookies this year and there's a lot of time for those four dudes to prove themselves
