Taylor Makar Signs Two-Year Deal | Colorado Avalanche News

Taylor Makar, the 25-year-old forward and younger brother of star defenseman Cale Makar, just signed a two-year extension with the Colorado Avalanche, locking him in through the 2027-28 season. After a breakout rookie year in the AHL with the Colorado Eagles — where he led rookies in goals and assists, helped them reach the Western Conference Final, and even played 12 games alongside his brother (a first in Avalanche history) — Makar’s stock is soaring. Drafted in the 7th round in 2021, he showed flashes at UMass-Amherst and exploded at Maine with 18 goals and an 8-point streak. Now, the Avalanche are betting big on his NHL potential — and fans are eager to see if he can translate his AHL success to the big stage.
