Makar Locked In for 8 Years | Colorado Avalanche News

The Colorado Avalanche just made NHL history by locking up superstar defenseman Cale Makar with an eight-year, $163 million contract — the richest deal ever for a defenseman and the first to average $20M annually. Already a two-time Norris winner and 2022 Stanley Cup hero, Makar’s elite play, playoff dominance (including a Conn Smythe), and scoring potential make him a generational talent at just 27. With his future secured, GM Joe Sakic and the team can now focus on building another championship core around him — sending a clear message: Denver’s not done winning.
