More of an opinion thread. I know some people will look at that 20 mill and be scared for the future. But I’m so glad for the 8 years. Even if the guys don’t win another one (still very possible by the way don’t let anyone tell you otherwise) we will get to watch Cale end his career in Colorado. That’s something I think everyone can be happy about.

Go Avs go! Can’t wait for this season to start.

The Colorado Avalanche have signed star defenseman Cale Makar to an eight-year, $163.2 million contract extension, his agency announced on Friday.

The deal is the largest in NHL history, as is the $20.4 million average annual value.

The 27-year-old Makar, drafted No. 4 in 2017, is already one of the most decorated players in franchise history. Since debuting in the Stanley Cup playoffs and scoring in his first game, he has won the Calder Trophy as the NHL’s rookie of the year, the Norris Trophy twice as the league’s top defenseman, a Stanley Cup championship and the Conn Smythe Trophy for playoff MVP. He has been a Norris finalist each of the past six seasons. Internationally, he was on Canada’s 4 Nations Face-Off-winning team in 2025 and won silver at the 2026 Olympics.

[Friedman] About to go off-line for a bit, but the much-anticipated extension for Cale Makar and Colorado is closing in. Going to be a biggie…but a critical piece of business for the Avalanche
