Colorado has glory in their future.

he should be playing in the NHL

Makar reminds me of Dahlin's current transition. Against inferior competition, they're confident and know what they can get away with. When they go to a new league, they know it's a different beast so they focus on the defensive end and learning the ropes. Makar is starting to look more confident, but it's clear he's focusing on being an all-around defenseman. IMO both Dahlin and Makar could score more points at the moment, but their overall games would suffer.

And before anyone get's their panties in a knot, no i'm not saying Makar is equal to Dahlin or anything of the sorts at the moment.

Arguing about the skating of Makar vs Hughes is like arguing about pie vs cake. Both are good.

Pumpkin pie is the best though.

Followed by cheese cake.

Makar is the player I really wanted the Sabres to get in the 2017 draft. Obviously they never had a shot at him in the end. But the hockey gods rewarded me the next draft. Makar is going to be a stud.

I always knew you were a monster.

I always knew you were a monster.

Okay fine.

Cheese cake, and then pumpkin pie.

Makar has the talent to be a pure stud in the NHL, so does Hughes. Makar has the edge in breakaway speed and is blessed with a better shot. Hughes is a better skater, more slippery and his offensive playmaking ability is a tad higher IMO. But, it's like splitting hairs, both could be elite offensive D-Men at the next level.

Based on their skills, I see Makar possibly being a 18/47/65 point player and Hughes being a 10/56/66 point player. Both breaking 60 but Makar putting up great goals and Hughes being a PPQB and assist machine.

you deny hockey fans their one true passion? your cruelty knows no bounds.

Can't wait to see a future Avs v Sabres tilt featuring the dueling D men.

Pumpkin pie is only good from the moment Thanksgiving dinner ends until just after you've taken your first bite of it. It is the evil twin of the redheaded step child that is fruit cake.

Pie, blueberry or cherry and a good apple pie with ice cream is always nice comfort food.

You don’t see Q. Hughes doing that

What amazing luck that the camera was positioned right inline of the hit. I loved seeing #18 flying through the air from one side of the hash marks to the other.

He just toys competition in most of those recent clips, Makar got drafted where he should but people should stop underrating a prospect because they play Jr. A.

 

[VasilyHoglander]

Who the f**k was that. Hope the kid gets suspended. That’s brutal hope Makar’s okay.
