Prospect Info: Cale Makar - D [4th Overall]

[AvsFan29]

Also said no to Sakic offering him Elc. For a young kid being offered big money for the first time, turning down his elc and bonuses and putting off his paycheck in favor of proper development.

Maybe he just liked the chicks? Being the star of the hockey team probably doesn't hurt.

Playing in the NHL probably wouldn't hurt in that department though.

Being the star of an NHL team making millions doesn't impress the ladies.

The Eagles are in a playoff spot, 9 points ahead of Tucson and 10 points ahead of Stockton. Would love to see how Makar does in the AHL playoffs.

It's more about demographics and proximity. In college, you're the hockey star, surrounded by college age females.

In the NHL, you're just the guy who looks too young to be on the team, and probably unrecognised in public.

Entirely different scenarios.

Maybe the US is different. But coming from a poor country the idea of the fame and millions of being a pro sports star sound like it would outweigh being a college sports star.

It's more about awareness than anything. In college, your status is very obvious, and promoted. As a rookie on a NHL team in Denver...not so much lol

Im obviously joking with all of this.

Because Makar doesn't like girls? And prefers beefy hfboard posters?

You wish! To be honest I wouldn't be surprised if he was on this board. His entire life revolves around hockey. I'd be curious if I were him

Hes Bleedwell.

He wants us to pick Kakko because he doesn't want to defend against Hughes. Logic checks out.

People are raving about how Brannstrom looked in Ottawa last night, and I think that bodes well for young D trying to make the transition to the NHL. Players are taking less time to adjust now. I think Makar comes in as a top-4 D immediately, and I think he's our best D by mid-season next year.

It's good to set healthy expectations.

If he's not top 3 in Norris votes next year, I'm going to go through every post I've liked and remove the likes. Consider everyone around here warned.

That sounds like way more work than it would be worth lol.

At least I know who to start with....

I think if cgf threatened this we'd have a meltdown. Pretty sure that's where half my likes come from.

Yeah I don’t care, we just watched Heiskanen do it for Dallas.

I can't wait for the "lotto gods screwed us out of Heiskanen" posts next year...

Miro's further along and developed faster than Makar thus far, why should that suddenly stop at the NHL level? Next season should be all about getting his feet wet and letting him start to figure the NHL out & set himself up to take over in year 2.

How do you know that until Makar plays? You don’t.

Lol that'd be like when you match with someone on tinder than have second thoughts and unmatch later. Happens to me all the time when an attractive lady gets drunk.

 

[McMetal]

Seeing Makar in the NCAA this year has made me think he'll transfer right into a top 4 role next year. He's hit a whole new level in college, and with a little while to build confidence I think he's going to be meteoric in his rise up the ranks next season. Probably not Calder territory but he's going to end up being good.
