Keith/Karlsson or Hughes/Makar?

[Chet Donnelly]

Which pair will ultimately have more combined career value?

Keith and Karlsson have a combined 5 Norrises. Hughes and Makar have two thus far, although that number should increase.

Will Q. Hughes and Makar, once they've retired, be higher on the all-time list than the older two?

Went with Hughes/Makar because I think so far they're further ahead of everybody else more than Keith/Karlsson were from guys like Doughty, Burns, Weber, Hedman, Chara etc.

Hughes Makar I would guess.

Keith was a stud for a few years and Karlsson has a few defenceman Art Ross trophies, but Makar is really something special and Hughes is looking good so I think ultimately it is then.

Went with the young guys. I could see both of them ending up better than the other 2, but Makar in particular seems very likely.

It's a high bar - but they're both off to fantastic starts to theirn careers.

Also worth noting that they are already tied in combined Conn Smyth trophies at one.

I am leaning toward the younger two but I’m undecided.

I’m not sure they will be higher on an all time list though. I just think they are more well rounded than karlsson.

 

[Regal]

I’m not sure if they’re necessarily “better”, but I think the younger guys will probably be more decorated

Makar is legitimately generational, easy choice.

tough poll

if it was ASP and Makar then easily them

Kieth is easily the best defensively of the group and 1D’d the Hawks to 3 Cups and 2 WCF appearances. He had 2 Norris trophies was considered a top 3 Dman for over half a decade.

Karlsson’s offense was so amazing he won 3 Norris trophies despite his pretty bad defense. His 2017 run was phenomenal as well.

Not sure why this is such a blowout especially with Q. Hughes being the clear cut weakest of the bunch.

Yea Hughes/Makar so tempting but I like the EK/DK combo a bit better. Keith will play shutdown D and EK can hog the puck on offence all he likes.
