Makar vs. Fabbro

[Freaky Styley]

This seems like a weird comparison to me, given that they are very different types of players. Fabbro plays a style comparable to Pietrangelo, and like it's been said Makar is similar to Karlsson stylistically.

I can't speak for Makar, but I've seen Fabbro play twice during his draft year. In the games I saw he actually impressed me more than Jost and seemed to have a larger impact on the game (later I learned that Jost was battling about 3 different injuries at the time). He looked steady but not flashy in any way really. I think his ceiling is a good 2nd pairing defenseman, whereas Makar has the potential to be an elite #1 if everything goes right (again, according to reports).

I understand why people are skeptical of Makar given the question marks around the league he played in, but the main reason I believe in him is because of the Avs' drafting abilities lately, especially in the top 10. They haven't missed on too many in the first 2 rounds the past few years so the scouts have earned my trust, which is why I'm excited to see what Makar does at the next level.

Thought this was a funny bump and realized I contributed to the original thread.

Now this is a dusty bump

For me, it’s Fabbro

Weird time for a thread bump.

We know Makar is much better.

Doesn’t need Fabbro getting waived to tell us that. All it proves is that Trotz is a bad GM.

It’s never a weird time to praise me

Fabbro will become 1D on Columbus and own Makar in SC final one day. Makr my words.
