Are there benefits to signing his ELC, if the plan is for him to stay in the SEL? I would assume they're gonna try and get him to to come to the American League right?Looks like he's going to play in the Swedish Elite League next season.
About time.Looks like he's going to play in the Swedish Elite League next season.
Yep. 5'11.25 at the combine. He was only 18 then as well, I definitely think he's grown roughly an inch or so since then.
Pictures are hard to judge because of the angles they're taken, stances of players, etc. But there's that picture of him and Fabbro standing next to each other at the WJC where they look basically the same height and I believe Fabbro measured in at 6'0.5 at his combine.
The NHL always seems to add 1-2 inches to a players height as well once they make the league I think he'll end up being listed as either 6'0, or 6'1.
I'll throw this out here... I was chatting with a buddy who is an NCAA assistant coach and he offered this on Makar's height. Chau is on the left and 5'9" and Foo is on the right and is 6'1".
FTR this coach believes Makar is NHL ready.
Time to play “Who’s in Skates Anyways?”

Obviously Chau is in skates, Makar is barefoot, and Foo is on stilts.

Article says Werner intends on signing this spring and that he's had good conversations with the avs scouts and goalie coach during the season. He will play in SHL next season. Other than that he's just talking about how his season has been and where his head is at.Adam Werner Signed, or I aguess will sign, hard to tell with the poor google translate.

It's possible that he has more control over it because the Avs would be loaning him. I'm not sure why the Avs would burn a contract year to do it but I guess they could call him back to NA if they want/need him to.Is there a way that the Werner ELC is a move to try to force him into the SHL from the Allsvenkan? Like there was some kind of way that could get him into a higher level league in preparation for putting him in the AHL? I'm just trying to figure out what the end goal is for the ELC if the plan is to put him in the SHL on loan.
Yeah, it can't slide. I'm just a little confused, and the SHL angle was my only thought as to why they would burn a year of an ELC if the plan was to have him outside North America.It's possible that he has more control over it because the Avs would be loaning him. I'm not sure why the Avs would burn a contract year to do it but I guess they could call him back to NA if they want/need him to.
Also keep in mind, contracts only slide if the player is 18 or 19. It's an underage thing, not a not in the league thing.
So a ELC signed and then loaned back to the SHL?
Has anyone read this article? Can anyone possibly provide a link? I have not been able to locate it.
While GM Joe Sakic said he reached out to defenceman Cale Makar after his season ended with University of Massachusetts-Amherst, the earliest he expects the fourth-overall pick in 2017 to be in the NHL would be next season.
That is, unless the 19-year-old decides to return for a sophomore year of college.
“I’ve had conversations with Cale and his dad and now we’ll wait to see what happens,” Sakic said of Makar, who turned down an invitation to represent Canada at the Olympics after winning gold at the world juniors.
“There’s no rush. Not for this year. He’s a guy that can wait to come up. He’s going to decide if he feels he’s ready or not. I believe he’s ready to come up, but he’s got to make the decision that he feels is best for him and his development.”
