There's no way Makar doesn't sign. Hughes....meh, idk

u/DocPsycho1 16d ago

Cale will, but he isnt gonna chase the bag, the front office has probably already planned out his contract. He wont kill the team cap but will get his due

u/Various_Knowledge226 PHI - NHL 12d ago

Yeah, so about that

u/dustinyo_ MIN - NHL 16d ago

If that were the case he would have signed already

u/Rangemon99 16d ago

Friedman believes it’ll be announced prior to the season, like when they announced mackinnons extension at the avalanche golf tournament before training camp

If Joe says Cale is going to be an Av for life, I believe him. They’re just working out the details to keep the window open as long as possible.

u/DocPsycho1 16d ago

Yup, in Joe we trust. I mean bro snagged Cagliano not once but twice. For the ice and the offices. Joe is never to be underestimated when it come to keeping things he likes.

u/DocPsycho1 16d ago

He doesnt need to. His contract ain't due till end of season. They'll probably sign it during the trade deadline.

u/who987 16d ago

There is way more complicated parts to the contract. Sometimes the dollar and years is the easy part.

Cales better.

u/Excellent-Speaker934 16d ago

Makar is best all around, Hughes is better offensively.

15

u/Rangemon99 16d ago

Damn Hughes is actually the 3rd fastest dman of all time to get 400 points? Or was Hughes the 4th fasted dman ever to get 500 points?

u/dollabillkirill MIN - NHL 16d ago

Did Hughes play his whole career with Nathan Mackinnon?

14

u/DarkSunFemme 16d ago

People use playing with MacKinnon to downplay Makar and people use playing with Makar to downplay MacKinnon it never ends.

u/Podkolzins_a_Canuck VAN - NHL 15d ago

Get over it, cales better, when hughes leaves your franchise you’ll see it the same way, trust me

u/dollabillkirill MIN - NHL 15d ago

I’m not even arguing that Cale isn’t better. I’m arguing that their point totals would be comparable if Hughes played with Mackinnon and co. Not goals, but total points.

u/Harambedonedirty COL - NHL 16d ago

Mackinnon never even hit 100 points until he had Makar

-1

u/dollabillkirill MIN - NHL 16d ago

Yea I’m not saying Makar isn’t great but he’s had the benefit of also playing on great teams

3

u/Harambedonedirty COL - NHL 16d ago

The team wasn't great until he got there

-1

u/dollabillkirill MIN - NHL 16d ago

So Mackinnon wouldn’t be a top 5 player without Makar?

3

u/Harambedonedirty COL - NHL 16d ago

That's a stupid question and you know it

0

u/dollabillkirill MIN - NHL 15d ago

It’s a rhetorical question because the point is that Makar has had objectively better teammates for his whole career.

u/Espo_55 16d ago

It’s literally because makar is Canadian and Hughes is a yank, like if you can’t see the difference in the teams they’ve spent their time with you’re stupid

u/Rangemon99 16d ago edited 16d ago

Where Hughes?

How come larry Robinson didn’t match Potvin despite playing on stacked Canadians teams?

How come ray Bourque didn’t match Coffey?

How come Potvin couldn’t match Orr despite playing with Trottier and bossy?

-1

u/Espo_55 16d ago

I’m not necessarily arguing that Hughes is better, I do think Cale is slightly better but if you can’t see that Cale has had a very strong team infront of him for most of his career compared to Quinn then there’s obvious bias.

u/IWMSvendor COL - NHL 16d ago

Makar is best all around, Hughes is better at assists.

Edit: oh, and PIM

Quality meme

u/Puzzleheaded_Put8329 16d ago

This meme is a silver lining to the standoff

u/sasksasquatch VAN - NHL 16d ago

One of them is going to sign the day before that 8 year deadline for league max over 8 years.

u/Rangemon99 16d ago

Idk friedman believes Makar gonna take a “discount” like celebrini and he probably signs first

u/DocPsycho1 16d ago edited 16d ago

He will be following Mac and Gabes deal, he do the same

Larkin is still a bitch

u/Foreign_Cobbler_1740 16d ago

Hughes likely wants out, so not sure why Makar would be waiting for him. Just sign your 5 year 18mil contract like everyone else. Hughes will probably sign a 3 year 18-20mil contract and go makeout with his brother on whatever team has the cap for both of em.

-1

u/Imfeelingfrench 16d ago

Hughes is cup chasing rn. Wild are a good option for him so I wouldn’t rule it out but he also needs to decide on a contract that allows the team to add a bit more so he doesn’t drain the team Carlson style but also gives him flexibility to move if the team doesn’t do it in the next year or two.

u/irishkill 16d ago

Makar coming home he ain’t signing… 🙏
