Heiskanen-Makar vs Dahlin-Fox

[Petrus]

I Just wanted to see what the board thinks.

There other young defensemen that I did not include that are great such as Seider, McAvoy and Hughes.

Makar tips the scale.

Well Heiskanen-Makar would be the best-skating defensive pairing in the league. They also have pretty clearly defined roles.

Dahlin and Fox don't have such strong skating and the roles don't match as well, so there would be some competition which might hurt one player's performance.

I would have thought Fox would be paired with Heiskanen to complement each other more than Dahlin-Fox. I guess this was just east-west.

That was the logic I followed. It was an East vs West pairing.

 

[Hisch13r]

Heiskanen>Dahlin

Makar>Fox

 

[RapidKnight]

Slavin-Fox is the only pairing I’d take over Miro-Makar

 

[Conspiracy Theorist]

Heiskanen-Makar. Makar on powerplay and offensive zone starts. Heiskanen on power kill and defensive zone.

 

[Unspecified]

Heiskanen and Makar by a mile

 

[Three On Zero]

Heiskanen > Dahlin
Makar >>>>>>>>> Fox

 

[Master P]

Fox is the weak link here.

Heiskanen and Makar easily.

 

[NOTENOUGHRYJOTHINGS]

Now that the Aves don't have two first lines Makar looks very pedestrian at both ends of the ice.

Heiskanen-Makar AINEC

Cant be true. Ive heard that when you got a shit team around you then you score more goals. So he should benefit from having lesser people who pass around the puck.

 

[SoundwaveIsCharisma]

Heiskanen and Makar would compliment each other so well

Makar would score 80 but he's too awe shucks and humble to ever score more.

He can do no wrong.

 

[Hisch13r]

Fox is the weak link here.

Heiskanen and Makar easily.

Fox is the 2nd best player here.

 

[lordtrillson]

If you were a GM and picked the fox pair over the Makar one you would be fired

Yeah the end is near. Only a PPG+ all situations Dman who leads the league in ice time.

 

[Aladyyn]

Makar is better than Dahlin but Fox is A LOT better than Heiskanen

 

[Conspiracy Theorist]

Makar is better than Dahlin but Fox is A LOT better than Heiskanen

Fox and Makar are probably closer than people want to admit, but I don't think there's question about Heiskanen being better than Dahlin.

 

[dirtydanglez]

if you have either of these pairs be sure to thank the hockey gods.

6 5v5 points in 20 games. Scoring on a power house PP is one thing..

Yeah seem like a one situation powerplay specialist this season, if you need to be that to pass the puck to Mac and rantanen.

The Avs injuries and offseason departures certainly affect the 5v5 numbers, there is only one line that can score consistently. Leading the league in ice time and being more of a complete all situations Dman doesn't help the scoring either, easier deployment and reduced minutes would keep Makar more fresh.

Makar is still a PPG Dman though for the 3rd straight year. No other Dman in the league does it more consistently.
