Pronger vs Makar

[FrankSidebottom]

Pronger won his famous Hart during 25 years old season. Makar is playing his 25 years old season as well.

Two great and highly impactful D. Who would you take if given a chance, prime Pronger or prime (~ current) Makar?

Pronger.

I think the only player in today's NHL that I'd take over a prime Pronger is McDavid. He was incredible at his best.

Pronger easy pick for me.

Sure if you only care about points, vs Pronger patrolling the front of the net.
But if you want to homer vote that’s fine, doesn’t bother me.

Pronger is being romantized on hf, just like lindros.

Makar has already passed peak pronger.

To me it's flip a coin and I'm extremely high on Pronger.

I also think that best primes is best 7 year consecutive period so there is some projection there but Makar just brings so much more offense and is also quite good defensively.

But man Pronger in the playoffs when the reffing is a little more relaxed was just a monster out there.

I think they're odd players to compare. You have to love the offense and the dynamism that Makar brings over what Pronger did - if anything you really should be comparing prime Pronger and prime Victor Hedman or Miro Heiskanen, they're more similar to his style than Makar is

What's wild is that pre-lockout his play style was almost a hindrance to the Blues. He was terrible in the playoffs. Like the D version of Primeau (pre-04). Then post-lockout he dials it up to 11 and for whatever reason the refs just ignore most of what they had been calling on him before.

Makar is the best dman I’ve seen play since Lidstrom and Bourque. This includes Pronger.

When did Makar win a Hart Trophy?

It would be wrong to view Pronger as terrible in the playoffs pre lockout sure he was better and in better situations post lockout but his offense simply isn't comparable to Makar at all here.

You can be a homer and be right at the same time!

The pre-lockout Blues were better teams than the '06 Oilers, late '00s Ducks or '10s Flyers. It's what highlighted their and Pronger's annual implosions in the playoffs.

 

[dirtydanglez]

i think makars career will be equally as impressive.

Pronger and Lindros today would be pretty great players still! or even better!!
