The Colorado Avalanche have one of the most exciting rookies players in defenseman Cale Makar. What’s more, he’s one of the most level-headed young men I’ve ever come across. I’ve said it time and again — he’s preternaturally poised.
Naturally, we all know he’s also a crazy good player. Sometimes it looks like he’s playing the NHL on easy mode. He’s a definite leader on the ice.
And that’s what I’m getting to — Cale Makar’s leadership ability. I believe he can captain the Colorado Avalanche the way he captained the UMass Minutemen last season.
