Makar Extension Nears Deal | Colorado Avalanche News

Cale Makar’s contract extension with the Colorado Avalanche is nearing a breakthrough, with GM Joe Sakic and NHL insider Elliotte Friedman both predicting a deal before training camp. While terms are still being hashed out—especially over contract length—the MacKinnon precedent offers a roadmap: an eight-year deal signed just before the season, during the team’s golf tournament. Makar, now 27, could land close to the league max, possibly becoming the first player to earn $20 million annually, choosing between shorter-term flexibility or a longer-term commitment. All signs point to a swift resolution. Listen in comfort:Get a discount on a Soli Pillow: http://solipillow.com/discount/dnn.
