Going into last year’s NHL Entry Draft, Cale Makar was ranked anywhere from fourth to ninth among the major draft lists. When he arrived at the combine in Buffalo, he was a seen as a pretty big question mark among fans, given that he played in the AJHL and was known mostly for being a great offensive defenseman but a guy that beat up on lesser competition. During his week at the Combine, Makar showed that he was among the best physical athletes in the draft class and when the fourth pick in the draft came around the Colorado Avalanche didn’t hesitate to select him.
