Description

Does Makar kill penalties? How is he defensively? He's got a lot of Norris votes and I just want to make sure we're not having another offensive defenseman winner.

He could, he's much better at defense than the likes of Burns, Q.Hughes and Carlson.

I don't think he does because the Avs have other options but he easily could IMO

hes solid defensively, he is a complete Dman and not just an offensive Dman like Hughes. He puts up the points by playing rock solid D

He does PK a bit but Avs have a lot of Dmen for that in Graves Girard Johnson and Toews. when healthy lin up he wont PK so it keeps his minutes under control since he plays a a lot of PP and 5v5

He shouldn't qualify for the Norris then IMO. I'm so sick of that trophy being handed to guys who are amazing offensively when there are a lot of players that are amazing defensively and offensively.

Hedman, McAvoy, and Doughty should be the front runners. Not guys like Makar and Hughes.

If that's the case, let's just add another two trophies 1 for offense 1 for defense and throw away the Norris.

makar is good at both ends, his defensively metrics are off the charts as well. You have a false narrative about Makar

It's crazy to me that during the covid pause we argued about Makar vs Hughes

It's not even close, Makar>>>>

Quoting: ZiggyPalffy

I would be open for a split

Norris trophy: awarded to the d-man that showed the best defensive capabilities
Bobby Orr trophy: awarded to the d-man that showed the d-man that showed the best offensive capabilities

Also nah disagree, Makar is very solid at defense, he's not just offensive
