Prospect Info: Cale Makar - D [4th Overall] Part II: #OrrIsTheFloor Edition

[Balthazar]

Stealing this from the main board...and this was before tonight's point. How crazy is that?

 

[AllAboutAvs]

Yep...that was worth it. And remember, they took their 2nd round opponent all the way to Game 7. One might argue they were one idiotic offside review from advancing to the Conference Final (not me of course).

Everybody won out in that scenario. Cale gets that much closer to a big payday, the Avs make a pretty triumphant statement in the postseason, and the fans finally get something to crow about for the first time in over a decade.

One guy probably ended up on the losing side in that scenario...Barrie. Makar playing that well in the playoffs probably made up the Avs' mind on trading Barrie last summer. If Makar shows struggle in the playoffs or he joins the team only this season Barrie might still be on the team.

I hear that Bartlett is very respected amongst his pears.

See what I did there.

With only 1 point last night, Cale’s ppg average went down from 1.10 pts/game to 1.095/game.

What a scrub

f***.... Adam Fox probably just passed him in the Calder voting.

I expect an 8 year 75-80M dollar deal done in early July.

I'd love that

I think Sakic can get down around 70. That would be nice. If he wins the Norris...it’ll be tough lol

 

[GirardSpinorama]

Makar shouldn't get any more than Chabot.

 

[Ararana]

I'm giving him an 8 year deal as soon as I can convince him to sign it. I don't care what the dollar amount is. MacKinnon and Makar are the type of players you work your cap and team around.

 

[TruePowerSlave]

Pretty sweet that Cale only has max 2 years before he needs to be re-signed. A 3rd year would have killed our cap.

I dont think it would have made much of a difference. With the way he's playing right now he is going to absolutely get PAID regardless.

 

[Northern Avs Fan]

One of the things I’m really liking about Makar’s game, is his ability to intercept pucks and attack the other way. Right now, that’s his best attribute defensively. He’s becoming much better at reading the play.

Makar shouldn't get any more than Chabot.

Agreed. If the greedy rat wants more than Chabot then he can go someplace like Buffalo or Ottawa to get it! Are you starting the trade-Makar bandwagon, or should I?

 

[viach]

Go Cale

 

[Spirits]

Quinn Hughes looks like Steve Buschemi's little brother (if he had one) in Fargo.

 

[Tommy Shelby]

Go Cale

5×20 is 100 so everyone gave Cale 5 points it looks like. Love it.

 

[Hornstar]

Can't wait till caulder Cale, byrum, G, Timmins, and big z are all hoisting the cup and handing it over to the gimpy Eric Johnson. Seriously though, this is a group with a lot of potential

 

[Avs_19]

On pace for 90 points through 21 games. He really just walked into the NHL at the age of 21 and not only replaced Barrie's production but could put up the best offensive season in Avs history for a defenseman.

Also, just for fun and not to be taken too seriously:

Hischier+Patrick+Heiskanen: 40 GP, 9 G, 17 A, 26 P.

Makar: 21 GP, 5 G, 18 A, 23 P.

 

[henchman21]

Go Cale

Go Cale

With the way Makar has played in the last ~10, I think this is the correct order. Necas should be starting to nip at Olofsson's heels.

They'll catch on, sooner or later

Ouch.

My God, can someone BAN this clown right now?

 

[Slurpeelover27]

I expect an 8 year 75-80M dollar deal done in early July.

Sorry, but even if he plays like he is now with no improvements that is the minimum he is worth. Sakic better be keeping cap space for him and hope the cap keeps rising. It should especially the new TV deal kicks in and Seattle enters the league.

In 2 years I predict around 12 million per and he will be worth every penny.
