This is a really poor list. Number retired? Hockey Hall of Fame? Yeah, Makar will probably get those when he retires too. Leech won the Conn Smyth 25, Makar at 22. Leech has two Norris Trophies? Come back in a few weeks when Makar his second. The way you decide to love or hate a player than go all in without logic is commendable but it's lacking logic. You can't descredit Makar suggesting his numbers are only reflective of the high offensive team he plays for than bring up Brian Leecth in another conversation not mentioning that he had Mark Messier, Adam Graves, Tony Amonte and Mike Gartner.

Ok, your turn. List all of Makar's accomplishments that make him better than Leetch. I will wait.
Update - Two time Norris Trophy winner Cale Makar.
