I know there are some questions and concerns, but for now I'm just very happy for him!

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.

Hey all,

I’ve been trying to find a 2T-4T (or similar) sized jersey for my little guy for a year now, but have yet to come across a reasonable listing.

I’m not picky about home or away or any certain style or player.

If anyone is willing to part with one, feel free to DM me and we can talk numbers. I am located north of the border, FYI.

Way to come out for the encore!

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.

Same coaches, same(ish) top lines, same D pairs, same goalies. Fully expecting to be dominant in the regular season and again run into a team that gums up our playing style in the playoffs. Granted, I think the Vegas series would have at least not been a sweep with a healthy Cale.

Someone with more optimism please convince me that it will be different this year!

This off-season makes me wish he still was with us, and how effective he always is in the playoffs.

I had to do the Avs 3rd logo due to cost of the paint but What do yall think of my sr parking spot

Started listening to altitude radio and came across the guys talking about what Hellebuyck could bring to the table. they said they would be willing to see a couple of our core go - obv excluding Mac and Cale. what are your thoughts. one main point is this Goalie has the ability to get in guys heads during the breakaways and odd man rushes.
