Makar-Fox or Heiskanen-McAvoy for a playoff run

[Michael HOMERUNing]

Makar and Fox, both widely considered top 5 dmen already and expect to be racking in Norris trophies for the next decade
OR
Their draft year defensive minded counterparts, Heiskanen and McAvoy, who have already led teams to the Stanley Cup Finals

Which pair would you take?

All amazing, but for me its pretty easily Makar-Fox

 

[Hisch13r]

Makar and Fox are the 2 best Dmen in the world so them.

Lots of ridiculous polls today...

I`d like to see the team infront of the before voting. On the defensive end its probably Heisk-McAvoy. I have both better defending than Makar. But offensively Makar/Fox are a lot better so have to go with them. Fox is also best all-around.

Heiskanen and McAvoy are elite, but c’mon. Fox won the Norris last year, Makar is the betting favourite for the Norris and Fox is the second favourite...

Close. My preference would be Makar and McAvoy.

Think splitting up Makar-Fox in this poll would lead to much better results lol

 

[summer tooth]

As the results show, it's too close to call this one

 

[OKR]

I’d like to see Makar & Heiskanen vs Fox & McAvoy poll. Fox and Makar are the two best and McAvoy vs. Heiskanen would be close i bet.

There should be zero votes for anything but Makar - Fox

 

[wintersej]

The answer is Makar-Fox, but devils advocate incoming.

Fox would be worse playing with Makar. IRL, Fox is paired with steady guys like Lindgren that allow him to get more aggressive in the offensive zone. In playing with Makar, Fox would be the guy that would be forced to play a bit more conservative, which really takes away some of his best skill in relation to the other three in this poll: his play making ability with the pass in the offensive zone.

McAvoy and Miro, in contrast, would both be MORE able to jump up into the offense knowing they have an elite defender that can skate backing them up.

McAvoy and Miro would be better together, and Fox would likely be worse (I don't think it would really change much for Makar). Enough to change my vote? No. But, worth noting.

You put 1 and 2 in the same pairing

maybe
Heiskanen - Makar
Fox - McAvoy

these might get closer results

 

[jetsforever]

Makar and Fox are both better currently
