Makar is already the best defensemen in the league by far, probably the only guy on the back end that can shut down McDavid one on one, and Tampa would get him for most of his career potentially. Vasilevsky is an A+ goaltender who has been the best in the playoffs, but there's a chance he may be surpassed by some young goaltenders coming up like Shesterkin, Oettinger, Swayman. There are definitely multiple goaltenders who would perform well above average in the playoffs as well. I think it's harder to find a talent like Makar, so Tampa probably adds. No other defensemen in the league is playing with Makars speed and abilities. He's also better than 90% of forwards too.
