2025 Fantasy Outlook
Makar set new personal bests in goals (30) and points (92) over 80 regular-season appearances in 2024-25, marking the first time a defenseman reached the 30-goal mark since Mike Green (31) in 2008-09 with Washington. Boosted by his power-play role, Makar's 12 tallies with the man advantage paced all NHL defensemen, as no other player had more than five. While the offensively-gifted blueliner converted at a career-high 12.2 percent clip on 246 shots on goal last season, it shouldn't be cause for concern in terms of potential regression given his world-class edgework and ability to find shooting lanes from the point. While fellow Norris Trophy finalists Quinn Hughes and Zach Werenski will be premier fantasy selections in upcoming drafts, it's difficult to make an argument against Makar being the first blueliner off the board in 2025-26. Makar has two seasons left before he is set to become an unrestricted free agent for the first time in his career, so the best of the right-shot rearguard may have yet to be seen, not to mention the fact that he's only 26.

Overall
Signed a six-year, $54 million contract extension with the Avalanche in July of 2021.
Breaks through with three points
Makar scored an empty-net goal on six shots, dished two assists, blocked two shots and went plus-3 in Thursday's 7-4 win over the Stars in Game 6.
ANALYSIS
Makar had been held off the scoresheet over the last three games, going minus-4 in that span. The defenseman made up for it with a big performance in a must-win Game 6. He set up tallies by Artturi Lehkonen and Martin Necas before adding an empty-netter late in the third period. Makar has five points, 25 shots, eight blocked shots, eight hits and an even plus-minus rating over six playoff outings. The Avalanche will need this version of Makar to show up again in Saturday's Game 7.

2018
Makar accounted for 21 goals and a career-high 90 points across 77 appearances during the 2023-24 campaign. He led all blueliners with 39 power-play points and tied for first with four shorthanded points. He was also credited with a personal-best 148 blocked shots. Since 2020-21, he ranks third among defensemen with 751 shots on goal. The 25-year-old phenom has operated at a point-per-game pace for four straight seasons. He has firmly established himself as one of the best offensive defenders in the league, making him a valuable fantasy target. Makar should be the first defenseman chosen on draft day because of his ability to produce points akin to an elite forward.
