With two Norris Trophies, a Stanley Cup, and 79 points last season, Makar’s elite production and loyalty to Denver make him the league’s most coveted defenseman. If signed, the deal could strain Colorado’s cap, forcing tough roster decisions around stars like Nathan MacKinnon. This could be the biggest contract for a defenseman since Draisaitl and Kaprizov set the bar—reshaping the NHL’s financial future.
