Makar is a dynamic defensemen.
But let's wait until he wins a Norris or two before he is considered at this level?
To me, his trajectory is like Erik Karlsson right now. I considered Karlsson the best in the world for many years and I think Karlsson is a Hall of Famer.
But Makar isn't Bobby Orr. He isn't even Raymond Bourque. Neither was Karlsson.
As much as this may go against popular opinion, Makar IS NOT the perfect defenseman.
He is small and can get overpowered against bigger and stronger forwards.
I have seen it happen in the playoffs whenever Makar faces teams with bigger forwards and stronger forechecks.
He can obviously improve since he is so young.
But his lack of size and physical strength is something he will have to find a way to compensate for if he ever should be considered amongst the "generational class".
Makar is starting to become over-rated by fans and the media, and that is unfair for him considering how young he is. People are rating him as the best thing since Orr, and he isn't that. Not yet, at least.
Let things play out before anointing him with such hype and status.
