As a defenseman. That's key in this. Hes putting up those numbers in the hardest time as a dman. Truly remarkable.
Yeah it's really absurd. Like everyone knows Heiskanen is a great d-man, same with Jones. That there's more to point totals and that players bounce back/trend up/trend down every other year. Heiskanen during that playoff run was elite and matched Makar but than had a down season. I just don't see how a team could talk to Makar's agent and try and use that comparable .. on paper it doesn't exist. Same with Jones.
I know some people don't think Makar gave a discount but IMO he did. He 100% could have held out for 10 and if he wanted to be a dick and go to the media/use other teams as leverage it would be even worse. He could have done what Matthews/Marner did to Toronto 100%.
