I really don’t careWell, you'll always have that to hold on to I guess.

You realize Quinn puts up very similar numbers as Quinn on a team that was 25th in GF.Makar is the only dman with potential to have multiple hundred point seasons. It has been accomplished only 14 times in the history of the NHL and the last time was in 1991/92 by Brian Leetch. 30 freaking years ago!! Team defense and goaltending are much stronger these days. In the past it was obviously much easier to score.
Since year 2000 only 2 dmen have managed just over 80 points (Burns and Karlsson once each).
If Makar can hit 100 point multiple times while playing above average defense and win multiple Norris's than I would say he is generational. If he played a few more games this year he would have won the Norris and will likely win multiple times in his career.
You should be able to have a generational forward, dman and goalie at the same time IF they are deserving. Obviously McDavid is generational, but if Makar can be head and shoulders above all other dman than why not label him generational? What does Hasek's dominance have to do with Lemieux's dominant play?
Hasek, Brodeur and Roy are the GOAT's and none can be called generational?
If Crosby is in the convo, so is Ovechkin. Can’t have one without the another.If he was a generational player, this thread wouldn't exist.
If the question has to be asked the answer is pretty obvious.
#99, and 66 for people to young to have seen them play live were generational.
Teams built systems just to try and shut them down and still failed.
Sid and Mcdavid are the closest right now nobody else is in the convo.
If Makar doesn’t miss games due to injury, he wins that trophy
I really don’t care
Watch Makar play this season. He’s in a tier of his ownIf karlsson didnt get injured noone of these past defencemen would have had a single trophy basically. So there is no generational in here.
In our hearts Makar won the Norris !I mean you must as you and your fellow Avs fans keep saying that. "Makar hadn't been injured he would have won the Norris in a landslide." Well, he wasn't, he didn't, and that's complete guesswork anyway.

If only 66 and 99 are generational than 68 is not generational. I mean what’s the case for 68 over Howe, belieavu,, Bobby hull, Bobby Orr.You forgot #68, Jagr was definitely generational too.
His numbers are almost too similar...
To be fair Lemiuex and Gretzky have a gap on the rest of the Generational talents. They sit at the top on their own.
Karlsson is the only defenceman since the 1995 lockout season to finish in the top 10 in points. He also did it twice and he finished tied for 4th once. Go take a look at the players that have accomplished a top 10 finish and you will see what quality of offensive player it takes. No one is a prime Karlsson right now.
Isn't this statement probably true of every single man, woman, and child in the world - if they win at least three Norris in the next five years, we would discuss them as generational?
Neither is anymore, they’re shadows of their former selfs.If Crosby is in the convo, so is Ovechkin. Can’t have one without the another.
Bobby Orr is clearly generational to me but if Hasek is then Roy is too.That’s ridiculous, Orr, Howe, and Hasek are easily right there. I think you mean Gretzky sits all by himself at the top.
You have Matthews as being a generational talent?For me Makar = matthews at defence lol so id say yes
