D Cale Makar (2017, 4th, COL) Part 2

[Dominance]

What lol?

Makar is small. How is he bigger than most Haha

He’s not “small”, he’s just really stocky. Your point still stands, though.

I didn't say he was bigger than most. But he might actually be. Have a look at college hockey rosters. Count the proportion of players that are over 190 lbs. It looks like it might be a minority of them. Hockey East always seems to have a lot of smurfs too.

 

[jvcjdudu jcycyxjene]

How tall is Caleb Makar?

 

[Kakko the bust]

There’s more players above 185than below 185 in college.

 

[S E P H]

That's what I always say

I was the first one to say it though

 

[Avsboy]

How tall is Caleb Makar?

Just close enough to 6' to make a size queen like me neurotic

Nathan MacKinnon doing his thing for UMass.

Give it up already with the cherry-picked highlight videos.

We all know 5'11.25 is way too small to make it in the NHL.







Am I doing this right?

 

[Hasbro]

Canucks fans want them as the next Sedins (in a way), not realizing Avs fans couldn't care less.

Or wouldn't micturate on that team if it were on fire.

However, if this were to be another Neely trade on their end I would be all for it.

No

 

[EXTRAS]

No

Max being that's the best the pick can be or worst?

 

[Papa Francouz]

Makar with a 3-point night tonight. 2 goals, 1 assist.

 

[QJL]

Top prospect outside the nhl

 

[covfefe]

But...but...he played Jr. A!!1!11

 

[S E P H]

There were absolute and profound reasons to be wary of him, him playing in a (still currently) not so strong junior A league is a viable argument.

Worst . Between 3th and 10th

He's basically 6' 2" if you only add an astounding 3 inches.

That crosby guy really didn't work out.

I watched him numerous times, he was also by far the best player in the league.

 

[missionAvs]

That crosby guy really didn't work out.

Would have had a legit chance for GOAT status with an extra inch or so to his height. Instead, he developed into a solid top 6 forward for the Pens. Shame really.

[Hi ImHFNYR]

Or wouldn't micturate

What?

Idk whether to say thank you for motivating me to expand my vocabulary or say f*** you for using a word you know goddamn well most of us savages don't know

That's your opinion, sure.

His success since that point suggests the exact opposite. It's quite obvious when a Jr. A player has 'it' and would be amongst the best players in their geographically-respective CHL league. That much was obvious to anyone who actually took the time to watch Makar in the AJHL.

I'm a huge WHL fan, but there's a collective dissonance that clouds most people's ability to evaluate top end Jr. A players. There is a natural tendency to overweight the present and ignore the future, which is ironically what prospect evaluation is all about...

We get the same story - over and over - "but, but, the league!?" Yet these players continue to flow into the NHL, from the USHL, BCHL, AJHL, NAHL - at a faster rate than ever before.

To be fair, I agree there was reason to be concerned with him. He was high risk high reward but still went 4th overall. Even though hes doing well in college, he hasnt done anything in the NHL yet and is likely the worst player in that drafts top 5 or 6 drafted players (might be better than Patrick, Glass is similar). He definitely shouldnt have went ahead of Pettersson it looks like right now.

He looks like he should be a solid player, but he hasnt exactly shown that hes a great NHLer yet.
