Colorado Avalanche stud rookie Cale Makar had a busy day for video calls on Monday. He sat down first on a Zoom call arranged by the NHL. He had a chat with fellow defenders Adam Fox of the New York Rangers and the ever-present Quinn Hughes of the Vancouver Canucks.
Before the NHL put its season on pause, the Avalanche rookie was in a fierce race for the Calder Trophy with Hughes. He was the heavy favorite for most of the season. To my mind, Makar is still the favorite, and many of the sports pundits who will vote on the trophy agree.
