Sure he plays for the other team, but hot patootie that kid can play.

He's incredible. I go back and forth between thinking, "what the hell are they doing not having him on the first power play unit, he's clearly more dangerous than Klingberg", and thinking, "Actually, just by putting him on PP2, they make that unit twice as dangerous, so maybe it's effective minute management."
Between Heiskanen, Makar, Hughes and Dahlin, it seems pretty clear who the league's premier defensemen are going to be in the near future. I'm sure someone else will work their way into that conversation as well. Could be Fox. Better not be Bowen Byram. The Avs are good enough as it is. EDIT: Forgot Thomas Chabot.
