Insider reveals the best player in the NHL according to him and IT'S NOT MCDAVID!
During his column with Guillaume Latendresse on "Les amateurs de sports" on 98.5 Sports, Maxim Lapierre revealed who he thought was the best player in the NHL.
It is Cale Makar.
« Mario, I may surprise you, but I think he's the best player in the National Hockey League. I understand that we have (Connor) McDavid on offense. Spectacular, he skates and all that... but Makar is able to play both ways of the ice and I think he's not even at his best yet. He's 23 years old. He's physical, he skates, he's creative, he's strong, he's able to fall back. You saw it when he played one-on-one against McDavid. It looked easy." - Maxim Lapierre
In 14 playoff games, the young defenseman had five goals and 17 assists for 22 points.
« That's outstanding. Those are striker stats...and strikers who are dominant. Him, it's on defense that he does that." - Guillaume Latendresse
As for McDavid, we are talking about 33 points in the playoffs this year.
