Quinn Hughes vs Cale Makar HEATS UP – Who Should Fantasy Managers Draft Next Year?

Colorado Avalanche’s Cale Makar and Minnesota Wild’s Quinn Hughes ignite fantasy hockey’s hottest debate: Who’s the true No. 1 defenseman? Flip and Steele unpack postseason performances, argue over elite peripheral categories like hits and blocks, and weigh in on team impact—while eyeing breakout threats like Brock Faber, Rasmus Dahlin, and Evan Bouchard. Will Hughes finally overtake Makar in next season’s drafts, or does postseason pedigree still tip the scales?  Steel and Flip also reveal their personal must-draft favorites year after year, including Dallas Stars’ Wyatt Johnston, Tampa Bay Lightning’s Jake Guentzel, New York Rangers’ Vincent Trocheck, and up-and-coming defenseman Jackson LaCombe. For fantasy managers determined to find value, they spotlight underrated gems like Owen Tippett and steady goaltenders like Karel Vejmelka and Ilya Sorokin. Who’s flying under the radar and set to dominate your league?  Thanks for making Locked On Fantasy Hockey your 1st listen, every day.
