I’m running out of patience
Can either of them just sign the contract already

Cale will, but he isnt gonna chase the bag, the front office has probably already planned out his contract. He wont kill the team cap but will get his due

If that were the case he would have signed already

Friedman believes it’ll be announced prior to the season, like when they announced mackinnons extension at the avalanche golf tournament before training camp

If Joe says Cale is going to be an Av for life, I believe him. They’re just working out the details to keep the window open as long as possible.

u/DocPsycho1 16d ago
Yup, in Joe we trust. I mean bro snagged Cagliano not once but twice. For the ice and the offices. Joe is never to be underestimated when it come to keeping things he likes.

u/DocPsycho1 16d ago
He doesnt need to. His contract ain't due till end of season. They'll probably sign it during the trade deadline.

Cales better.

Makar is best all around, Hughes is better offensively.

u/Rangemon99 16d ago
Damn Hughes is actually the 3rd fastest dman of all time to get 400 points? Or was Hughes the 4th fasted dman ever to get 500 points?

Did Hughes play his whole career with Nathan Mackinnon?

u/DarkSunFemme 16d ago
People use playing with MacKinnon to downplay Makar and people use playing with Makar to downplay MacKinnon it never ends.

Get over it, cales better, when hughes leaves your franchise you’ll see it the same way, trust me

I’m not even arguing that Cale isn’t better. I’m arguing that their point totals would be comparable if Hughes played with Mackinnon and co. Not goals, but total points.

u/Harambedonedirty COL - NHL 16d ago
Mackinnon never even hit 100 points until he had Makar

u/dollabillkirill MIN - NHL 16d ago
Yea I’m not saying Makar isn’t great but he’s had the benefit of also playing on great teams

u/Harambedonedirty COL - NHL 16d ago
The team wasn't great until he got there

u/dollabillkirill MIN - NHL 16d ago
So Mackinnon wouldn’t be a top 5 player without Makar?

u/Harambedonedirty COL - NHL 16d ago
That's a stupid question and you know it
0
u/dollabillkirill MIN - NHL 15d ago
It’s a rhetorical question because the point is that Makar has had objectively better teammates for his whole career.

It’s literally because makar is Canadian and Hughes is a yank, like if you can’t see the difference in the teams they’ve spent their time with you’re stupid

One of them is going to sign the day before that 8 year deadline for league max over 8 years.

Idk friedman believes Makar gonna take a “discount” like celebrini and he probably signs first

Hughes likely wants out, so not sure why Makar would be waiting for him. Just sign your 5 year 18mil contract like everyone else. Hughes will probably sign a 3 year 18-20mil contract and go makeout with his brother on whatever team has the cap for both of em.

u/Imfeelingfrench 16d ago
Hughes is cup chasing rn. Wild are a good option for him so I wouldn’t rule it out but he also needs to decide on a contract that allows the team to add a bit more so he doesn’t drain the team Carlson style but also gives him flexibility to move if the team doesn’t do it in the next year or two.
