Summary
Cale Makar just signed a jaw-dropping eight-year, $20.4 million contract with the Colorado Avalanche — the richest deal in NHL history — locking him down through 2034-35. GM Joe Sakic called him “generational,” praising seamless talks with Makar’s agent and calling it a no-brainer for both sides. Makar, who already owns two Norris Trophies and a Stanley Cup, wanted the full eight years to provide stability and focus on building a championship core around him. With over 500 career points and top-10 franchise records in scoring and assists, this deal cements his status as a cornerstone of the Avalanche and Denver’s hockey future.
