Of course, when you think of highly skilled defensemen,
Cale Makar has to be one of the guys that comes to mind. The 23-year-old defenseman has started right where he left off last season, tallying 4 assists in three games thus far for the Avs. He is over a point-per-game player, and for a defenseman, that is a crazy stat. Posting 184 points (48 goals, 136 assists) in 181 games so far in his career, Makar has established himself as arguably the game's top defensemen, and MacKinnon thinks he can elevate his game even further.
