Kiszla vs. Chambers: Has Cale Makar surpassed Nathan MacKinnon as Avs’ best player?

Kiz: There are nights — heck, there are weeks — when this Avalanche team looks to be nearly unbeatable. And know what’s crazy to me? Colorado is steam-rolling through the league during a down season by center Nathan MacKinnon, who has not yet consistently played at his lofty standards. Defenseman Cale Makar, however, seems to be a lock to win the Norris Trophy. At age 23, has Makar leap-frogged MacKinnon as the most-dominant player in a Colorado sweater?

Chambers: Makar certainly has the personality that compliments his extraordinary skill set. He’s a very affable young man.
