Colorado Avalanche superstar Nathan MacKinnon had a strong feeling about defenceman Cale Makar back in 2022 that he would score 30 goals early on in his career.

The prediction came true as this year has been the year of Makar in his 6th season with his stat line showing unbelievable numbers that has not been seen for quite some time.

Incredible season for Makar as he closes in on 100 points

Makar has had a season of a lifetime as he has played 77 games, scored 30 goals with 60 assists for 90 points and its a + 32. What's more incredible is that he's 26 years old and has been dynamic as MacKinnon suggests every year he has played.
The Avalanche have five games remaining in their schedule while currently holding 90 points, there's a slight possibility that he may achieve 100 points as a defenseman.
Makar was drafted in 2017, first round 4th overall and has played six seasons with the Avalanche starting in 2019 where he played 57 games, scoring 12 goals with 38 assists for 50 points and was a + 12.

Norris Trophy will likely be a lock for Makar

As the season draws to a close and the playoffs are on the horizon, many feel in the NHL that Makar will be a lock for the Norris trophy this year as he has proven he is the best defenseman in the NHL.
Other contenders who would also fall under that category are Quinn Hughes of the Vancouver Canucks and Zach Werenski of the Columbus Blue Jackets who both have put together great seasons considering the circumstances in Columbus and the
injuries and troubles that have happened in Vancouver.
But in the end, Makar has been the best in the league and fully deserves that award and whatever comes with the avalanche as the team tries to make another run at the Stanley Cup in the coming weeks.
