Big Deals, Big Moves in NHL | Colorado Avalanche News

Connor Bedard just locked in a massive five-year, $15M deal with Chicago, putting him in elite company — even if it’s less than Leo Carlsson’s payday. That raises the stakes for Cale Makar, who could be eyeing $17M+ soon.

Meanwhile, Anthony Mantha’s move to New Jersey is sparking debate — he dazzled with 33 goals in Pittsburgh but struggled in the playoffs. Elsewhere, the Rangers renumbered J.T.
