I'm going with Hutson, to the surprise of nobody
The dude is PPG, and already Play 20+ minutes per Game. He doesn't even have 10 Games of experience and he's already arguably our best defensemen (or second, if you rank Guhle above him)
Sky is the limit for the kid

Logan Stankoven will be the first player to win the AHL ROTY and the NHL ROTY and do it in consecutive years…

Stankoven
Will rack up the points and in a very good situation to keep it up for a whole season.

With Celebrini's injury, I have to think the below three will be the favorites (with my projected 82 game paces):
1. Michkov 27g 72p
2. Hutson 9g 53p
3. Stankoven 22g 64p
If it goes something like the above, I think it'll be Michkov's to lose, though I could see a scenario where a guy like Stankoven steals a bunch of the forward votes, so the Calder goes to Hutson (similar to 2014-15 when one of Stone or Gaudreau should have won, but since they were tied in scoring.they split the forward vote, so it went to Ekblad).
Hutson should lead all rookie d in scoring by a healthy margin, as the field is fairly weak and he's likely to be given a long leash with tons of offensive opportunities (and he's obviously freakin talented). Casey is probably the only rookie D who could realistically contend with Hutson, if only he were on a team with a weaker D core. But since he's in NJ, he's unlikely to get the opportunity to play a starring role unless there are injuries.
One dark horse who isn't listed that I think could surprise is Jackson Blake. He's a really crafty player who plays with pace and reads the play incredibly well - not unlike Jarvis. I don't think he's gotten nearly enough attention for how good he's been in the last 2 years at UND. After a team leading 42 points as a freshmen (including an impressive WJC showing), he dropped 60 points last year as a sophomore, when no one else on the team scored 40. There aren't a lot of guys capable of that.
He looked awesome the other night vs NJ, and I think odds are good that he's able to translate that offensive touch to the NHL. And with some of the notable offensive departures in Carolina, I could definitely imagine a scenario where he plays himself into the Canes top 6 and finishes with 50+ points.

Why not?
Because they only look at points. Faber last season 50 points, 25min TOI, 1st PP 1st PK, still wasn't even close to the trophy.
