Is Cale Makar a generational talent?

[Mr Burns]

Yeah and if I thought Roy was the greatest goalie of all time, as opposed to Hasek, then I might think you have a good argument (I don't).

Yeah same for me about Hasek.

Gonna get shit for bumping this but I think this is a legitimate question now.

Calder, Norris, Conn Smythe, Over PPG in his career still now in his D+6.

Don’t know if he places amongst the greatest ever, but he is making a case for the best defenseman of his generation.

He'd likely have 2-3 Norris trophies and a couple 100+ point seasons if it weren't for injuries as well.

He is the first wave of Lane Hutson inspired defenseman coming into the league, if he keeps this up then he can reach some of the success Lane had.

Makar walked so Hutson could run.

Can Makar do this?

I'm pretty sure that he can as I have done so in a rec league many times.

 

[Golden_Jet]

No he’s not generational,

 

[benfranklin]

Easy yes. He is the best dman weve seen since Lidstrom.

 

[BenningHurtsMySoul]

The only comparable for this new wave of defenceman is Hughes.

And I would consider them both to be borderline generational, as they have transformed the puck moving defenceman role.

Makar gets the top spot overall.
