To me, the two best Drafted D prospects out there right now without a doubt.
Who will be the better player?

Toss up so I homer voted.
Cale is the better two-way prospect, more powerful & has the better shot; Hughes is slipperier & more creative/ballsy in the offensive zone...although Cale's audacity has made good progress at UMASS.
This is where I would land as well. Close but I would go with Makar. I think he has a more complete game. Well said on your description of Hughes being “slippery” and “creative/ballsy.”
But we’ll see how it turns out. I’m biased towards Hughes but I think Makar is the right choice at the moment. His shot is definitely a big advantage over Hughes. IMO Quinn will have to improve his shot, strength, and defensive play in order to be truly elite.
God I hope this becomes a thing and we don't ever have to worry about Cale getting hurt playing for TCI voted Hughes because he will be better thru out their careers and doesnt hate his country
I picked Makar not for the homer vote but more because his defense is a fair ways better.Toss up so I homer voted.

I don’t have an issue with people choosing makar, but people that think Hughes is some sort of defensive liability or his weakness, you guys are absolutely out to lunch. His defensive side of the game is not an issue.
He's a higher risk player, comes with the territory.I don’t have an issue with people choosing makar, but people that think Hughes is some sort of defensive liability or his weakness, you guys are absolutely out to lunch. His defensive side of the game is not an issue.
Makar has the tools to be generational. Hughes will likely be the best offensively gifted dman the Canucks ever had, but still not even close for me. Makar is just that much better talent wise.
Is it just me or do Hughes and Petterson come off just a bit smug? Cale seems like a genuinely humble and great kid. I have seen tons of interviews of him and watched he is quickly becoming my favorite player ever because of both his skills and personality. He is a joy to watch. #mankarcrush
