Connor Bedard took home the Calder Trophy for the 2023-24 season, and as we are about to enter February, the #1 pick in the most recent draft, Macklin Celebrini, sits as the current favorite to win the award this season. While guys like Lane Hutson have certainly been putting together strong rookie campaigns, the recent play of Celebrini has solidified him as the true favorite.

*odds as of February 11, 2025
Macklin Celebrini (San Jose Sharks): In his first NHL game, Macklin Celebrini tucked away his first career goal and assist. However, the number one pick would also suffer an ankle injury that has forced him to miss around two weeks. Celebrini would return from that injury on November 5th, and since then, he has done more than enough to become the Calder favorite. In total, Celebrini has played 45 games, and in that span, he has recorded 40 points on 17 goals and 23 assists.
Lane Hutson (Montreal Canadiens): Lane Hutson currently leads all rookies in assists with 38 on the year. While the defenseman has only found the back of the net three times this season, he is tied for 23rd in the league in assists through 56 games. Despite being held without a point through the last four games of January, Hutson still finished the month with 13 points.
Dustin Wolf (Calgary Flames): In 33 starts between the pipes this season, Dustin Wolf has certainly not looked like a rookie. Even after a tough start to February, Wolf is boasting a 19-11-3 record this season, which is tied for the 12th-best in the league. Additionally, Wolf's save percentage of .912% is tied for the 10th best in the league, so it is fairly unsurprising that he has been able to work his way up the odds board for this award.
