If Faber didn't win the Calder I don't see Hutson either. It's Michkov or Celebrini at the beginning and unless they completely shit the bed then Hutson will be at best a runner up.

Well, right now I have:

Celebrini
Hutson
Mitchkov

I see a stronger case for Hutson being above Michkov right now than the other way around

Hughes is 6’2, long reach for height, one of top 3 skating Dmen in the NHL. Do you really think he is the right guy to compare to? Find someone Hutson’s height, weight and skating that has been this bad defensively then see what they improved to.
Quinn Hughes 6'2? HAhaAHAHHAHAHAHAhaAHa

Still most people, and probably voters as well would have Celebrini first right now.

Michkov was first as little as 2 weeks ago but he is in a funk and Hutson just had a nice run, these things will ebb and flow but Celebrini looks like the real deal and safe bet for the Calder.

Hard to say. Rookies are more prone to hit a wall. Not sure about michkov but certainly these guys coming from light schedules in ncaa have a major adjustment.

I know michkov has recently hit a wall. Hutson seems to be relatively consistent to this point. I can't comment on celebrini.

But it's also an inherently uphill battle for dmen to win awards like this.

whys this thread even still going on the main boards rather than on the montreal forum lol

its 2000 posts of someone lightly criticizing hutsons defensive abilities and all montreal fans losing their minds at that comment, then repeat. never seen such an insecure group
Nah it was mostly trolls trying to get under Habs fans skin, up until recently it's mostly just Habs fans and a couple good posters left because all the trolls bounced. Couldn't keep up with all the head shakes, hutson is too nice with it

Hard to argue with that, since Celebrini is basically PPG

Still, Hutson as the runner Up make a lot of sense

He's having quite the Season and is already our best defenseman

Michkov could make a comeback and take back the second spot, but right now, it has to be Hutson's

If a guy says Hughes is 6’2 it is pretty damn easy to guess which brother he is talking about
Go back and read the comments again
The guy who referenced luke hughes mistakenly assumed the poster was comparing hutsons development to luke when he was comparing to quinn

In your head
The problem with Hutson is he can't play a lick of defence. He should be converted to forward and could probably stick in the top 6 of a mid-tier team.

You are clearly not watching him, that's B.S.

He is actually playing better defensively than I thought he would. Don’t get me wrong he doesn’t win many of the physical battles but he is good with his stick checks.

Halifax, NS
then calling luke top3 skating D is well overreaching, keep your hands off the peanut butter son
He is, check the film and the metrics. Pretty sure he is top 4 for top speed by a Dmen this year and has registered the fastest speed over the past two years. He is also number 1 for bursts over 22MPH playing far less games than the others on the list.
