Makar Extension Looms Before Labor Deadline | Colorado Avalanche News

Avalanche star Cale Makar is on the verge of signing a massive contract extension, likely before the new labor agreement takes effect on September 16th — which would cap extensions at seven years. With top players like MacKinnon and Necas setting the pace for elite pay, Makar’s deal is expected to be even larger. Already a two-time Norris Trophy winner and perennial finalist, Makar’s dominance is undeniable: 79 points in 75 games last season, over 25 minutes per night, a +40 rating, and now 500 career points. He’s also brought a Stanley Cup and Olympic silver to Denver — making him the cornerstone the team wants to lock up for the long haul.
