Lehkonen Extension Talks Heat Up | Colorado Avalanche News

The Colorado Avalanche are moving cautiously on a potential contract extension with forward Artturi Lehkonen, who’s been eligible since July but may not see a rushed deal—unlike defenseman Cale Makar, who faces a September deadline for his eight-year extension. Lehkonen, a vital role player, could benefit from long-term security, while the team weighs whether an extended deal offers better value or flexibility. Negotiations may continue into training camp or even the season, depending on whether an eight-year term aligns with both sides’ goals.
