  1. Celebrini is so good, but I fear that his rushes straight up the dots is going to result in his first concussion.
    It only takes 1 D to play the man, rather than the puck and I predict he is going to get lit up.

  2. As a Habs fun, it sucks that the year we got to draft 1st overall, we didn't get a Matthews, Celebrini type of player. 🙁 Thank God Hutson got picked in the second round <3

  3. Loved Mac C. since I seen him light it up at SSM and think he can be the next Crosby. He's the total package of what you'd want for a franchise player and he's still a teenager!

  4. Celebrini is looking great. But hutson is doing things NHL rookie defenseman don't do. For me it's hutson for the calder. Strong rookie forwards happen every season but defenseman is a while other level. He's constantly in the rookie conversations with all the NHL hockey legends. Orr. Housley coffee Lindstrom and more recent makar and Hughes. The fact that he's a damn sets him apart.

  5. The player that have the most style of play comparaison with Lane Hutson is Pavel Datsyuk, look all the highlights of Makar and Hughes or any other players and look at Datsyuk highlights and in term of pure style of play Lane Hutson is derectly comparable to Pavel Datsyuk more than anybodyelse, he only need to find the back of the net more often.

  6. Either Celebrini or Hutson for sure. Michkov will have a great career, but right now the other two are already fairly complete players on both sides of the puck while essentially matching his offensive numbers. It's actually insane to have two players like that in the race.

  7. Lane Hutson hes fucking insane ! We finally stole 1 rookie in late second round! lol

  8. As a habs fan, Celebrini is just on a different level. Yes he scores goals, but he is also very reliable in D which is rare for a rookie. I should have been considered in the 4 nations roster.

  9. I think it's also important to consider Dustin Wolf. Goalies are a lot easier to overlook for trophies like this given they fact their plays are a lot more quite and deal a lot more with having to be efficient with movement, as positioning for a block is their precious resource, but Wolf is like, one of the sole reasons that Calgary is in a position that could allow them to get a wildcard spot right now.

    Additionally, while I don't think that Jackson Blake from the Carolina Hurricanes is currently in contention for the Calder, he's certainly one of the best rookies in the league at the moment. He's a remarkable winger, is fantastic in ensuring possession in any situation having a corsi average of over 60%, and honestly just plays solid Brind'Amour style hockey. As there is still a half of a season left, there's a possibility that if he get more experience over the course of the season, that he can get his points up, especially if Brindy ups his TOI by even like 2 mins, maybe giving him a chance on the 3rd line, or 2nd line on a less risky team. All-in-all, he was a pretty great pick-up for Carolina in the draft. I'm sure that he is soon to develop into a solid playmaker within the Carolina system on par with Aho and Jarvis. Plus, I think that he can become a fairly solid 30-goal man in the following seasons, especially if he can get some playoff experience, which is looking extraordinary probable.
