Prospect Info: Cale Makar - D [4th Overall] Part III: Not A Prospect Edition

[Freaky Styley]

Meh, Hughes can win the Calder but I'd still rather have Cale on my team. Obviously biased, but doesn't make the statement untrue. See: Hart trophy - Hall, Taylor

I'm looking at the Calder race as a win/win:

Cale wins = Awesome, well deserved. The best man won

Cale loses = Avs will never lose to the Canucks ever again

Winning the calder = $$$$ on his next contract. So from a roster building perspective it might be better if he doesn't win it. It's rather trivial anyways given that people like Adrian Dater are voting for it.

Winning the calder = $$$$ on his next contract.

That doesn't really matter... the trio of Hughes, Dahilin, and Makar are setting the next defensemen RFA bar. Each has an argument to set it, and the Calder is far down on the list as to why they set it.

The Avs don't have to worry about it this year, but winning the Calder can trigger a large bonus. In Vancouver's case, it will trigger and overage and they will have a lower cap next season because of it.

Also, if Cale loses, it will make it that much sweeter when he continues to outclass Hughes every time they play.

As we've seen before, when it's close between an Avs player and someone in a major media market, the Avs player always comes in second. Rask over Varlamov, Hall over MacKinnon, and probably Hughes over Makar given the way things in the media are going.

I know Hughes fans won't agree, but that's the reason why it's close IMO.

I'm too biased to look at it completely objectively, but with Makar leading Hughes in almost every major statistical category, I just don't see an argument for why it's so razor close.

Cale missing 12 more games than Hughes is a non factor for me when no one had their health tested for 82 games anyway.

 

[Goulet17]

I think Makar wins and I don't believe that it will be particularly close. Whether that decision is justified or not is a different issue.

It actually looks like the opposite will be true.

I think either player winning can be justified. Makar had a better season by a little bit, but if they elect to give it to Hughes because he impacted his teams’ season more by playing in all the games, that’s fine too.

 

[Goulet17]

It actually looks like the opposite will be true.

We'll see.

Canucks have just unveiled the Daniel and Henrik Sedin leadership award. The winner should be Hughes, who has displayed much poise in the face of the Avs fans detracting from his Calder-worthy season. Shame on you, Hughes haters. All hail Hughes!

Throwback Cale hit and rush.

Gotta love McNab's color commentary on this:
"But here's... coming across, lays him, ho ho. You watch the puck, but now Makar, then they head down the ice.. perfect passing play, little drop pass, move the puck across... WOW!"

Can't get that kind of analysis anywhere else.

I like his enthusiasm. That's really all I care about with these PBPand color guys. Voice and enthusiasm. I don't care if they cant pronounce names or hit the sauce before games haha.

To be fair it was rather a "ho" or "heh" than a "ho ho", but I get your point.

I felt like he and McNabb had pretty poor chemistry this year, hopefully that gets better.

What’s crazy about that play, is how fast Makar turns around the net and gets out front of the Dallas players after Bishop makes the save.

Makar is special. Don't care if he doesn't win the Calder. Im just glad we have another special player on this team besides Mackinnon.

 

[Northern Avs Fan]

I’m sure we overrate Makar here, but he’s definitely underrated on the main board.

Rantyboy is pretty special
