Since Makar made his debut in the 2019 playoffs, we all knew he was going to be something special.
He entered the league officially in the 2019-20 season, where he went on to win the Calder trophy scoring 50 points in 57 games and has been nominated for a Norris trophy since as well.
Over 3 seasons, he has tallied 48 goals and 132 assists in 178 games, which is incredible as a defenceman of his age.
When Makar was drafted, Nathan MacKinnon was not a fan, and it's safe to say, he was definitely wrong in his opinion.
MacKinnon had this to say:
Good thing MacKinnon is not a scout because Makar is now talked about as one of the best players in the league.
