I understand if some people are hesitant to name Colorado Avalanche star defenseman Cale Makar into the Hall of Fame right now. The biggest thing being that he’s still in his 20s and has a lot of hockey left to play. On the other side of the coin, though, is the fact that he has accomplished so much already, and he’s still only 26 years old.
Makar has won a Stanley Cup, the Calder Trophy, the Norris Trophy, and the Conn Smythe trophy. He’s widely regarded as the best defenseman in the NHL, no matter who tries to say otherwise.
