UMass gave Makar the "C" for next season. Not surprised by this, the guy always had a good head on his shoulders.
He's at ZooMass. It's just a contact high.He’s not taking his career seriously, though!
I watched him earlier in the playoffs, but he looked good. Nothing groundbreaking, but his usual "highly intelligent plays with the puck while looking insanely awkward because of his skating stride". However, not sure I buy the remarks about how some people in the Avs organization thought he could be playing in the NHL right now. He definitely needs a full season in the AHL like Rantanen to get transitioned to the speed and physicality that plays are made with pro players IMHO. Hayton is freckin awesome though, surprised that some scouting places still have him in the 20's - every time I watch him he's a riser for me.Timmins' team is going to the OHL final after winning last night. Anyone know how he has been playing?

I knew you were going to ask about him, hahaha. Not too sure what I think of him at this present moment of time. I mean I like him, but I think Timmins does the heavy lifting for him in the defencive where he's able to play his game. He's more on the smaller side and has all tools you want for an offencive defender, except I am not a huge fan of his shot. If you're one of the people who doesn't want Hughes on this club because of too many "smaller OFDs" quota, you definitely do not want Sandin. If you're not part of that crowd, trading back and grabbing him in the 20's wouldn't be bad by any means. Not sure he's a player I like at 16th overall as of now, but I really hope his team makes the Memorial Cup to see him against the best of the best from the CHL.Good to hear. Him starting the season with the Avs might be too soon but it wouldn't surprise me if he's up at some point next season.
Any thoughts on Sandin?

As for Timmins, I tend to go the Detroit route with prospects as you probably know. There is no doubt he will get some time with the Avs next season, but I personally hope that Avs tell him to get a place in Loveland and just focus on his game the entire year. I don't want him to get into the "if I make a mistake I am going to get sent down" which impacts players and something Rantanen didn't need to worry about.
He was pretty impressive last night. Kinda blends in on a team with so much talent but he definitely shows his skill when he wants. He almost walked the entire team last night in OT and scored just by dancing around the Ozone. He’s been solid all round.Timmins' team is going to the OHL final after winning last night. Anyone know how he has been playing?

Hahaha, but I actually think that of the tri-cities of FoCo, Greeley, and Loveland, Loveland is the best. FoCo is becoming smug like Boulder and you living up north probably heard the rumours of what Greeley is. I will admit it is definitely the residential part of the three, while Fort Collins probably has the fun aspects since it's a college town.Do we really want to wish that hell on anybody?

Surprised you didn't post this Avs2002, but JC Beaudin leads the entire ECHL in postseason points. Good sign.
He was electric in the game that I went to. Clearly the best player on the ice.
