Today, we’re talking about a prospect that has soared top the top of draft rankings since the winter. Cale Makar’s outstanding performance with the Brooks Bandits in the AJHL has opened the eyes of scouts, analysts, and fans.
I don’t need to really explain to you why the Red Wings should be interested in Makar. They’re a team that is in dire need of a defensive renaissance. While I don’t see a true 1D in this draft class, Makar has brought himself to the top with his dominance. It’s doubtful that he falls to the Red Wings spot, but a few things could lead to the unlikely happening.
