Don't see why you would take any heat whatsoever for that. He might be a top 3 D you pick moving forward, let alone top 10.
But for right now - Hedman is better. And even if what you're actually saying is Makar is top 10 already (I don't see it - one season isn't enough, you have to see if he can repeat/sustain to earn that title) - you can be top 10 and still far from #1.
I think for the next ~3-5 years I take Hedman over Makar easily. No reason at all to expect Hedman to decline then, and he has a consistency and excellence to his game. If it's long-term Makar is the better choice obviously. He could hypothetically even be better in the next 3-5 years, I just think Hedman is the safer bet.
Hedman’s been elite for 5-6 years now, so I can’t fault you for that take.
For me, I’d take Hedman over Makar for the playoffs and next season. After that I’d probably take Makar.
