Anyways, he’s very young and obviously has tons of room to grow, and probably he will. Right now, he’s not really great at defense, which makes him far from the NHL’s best player.

McDavid beats lots of guys including solely defensive defencemen. Makar is in his 3rd season and when it counted, in game 4, for example, they shut McDavid down pretty well.
And who, according to you, is the best player? You’ve eliminated McDavid with your “not really great at defence” requirement.
