I'm sure those extra 28 seconds would make all the difference
I will say this…. If Dahlin was putting together the seasons Makar has in the last two years he would be considered generational
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.
The difference more than doubled from there in the playoffs.
This part seems really unlikely as Fox was on the nice for 17 PPGF and Makar for 27, not a huge difference there.
Makar had 27 ESP in 57 games for the Calder and Fox had 29 in 70 games.
Wait wut.No. A generational player at the very least needs to clearly be the best player on his own team and he isn't.

Idk if he is a generational player, but he is clearly the Avs best player.
Amazing start to his career but there hasn't been a generational talent on defence since Orr. Its a high bar.
Wouldn't "Generational Talent" be the most talented player seen over the course of say, 20-30 years? So if he isn't more talented than McDavid then it becomes a pretty quick no, correct?
For "Generational D-man" the question gets a little more interesting. I think Makar has a higher talent level than any D we've seen in 20+ years, and he might very well prove to be a better player than any D in that span. Time will tell.
