Makar Has SIGNED!

Cale Makar is staying in Colorado! On this episode of the Eyes On Avs Podcast, Cam and Eric react to Makar’s massive eight-year extension and discuss why locking up one of the best defensemen in hockey for the full term could prove to be a major win for the Avalanche as the salary cap continues to rise. Then, with the new season quickly approaching, the guys take a trip around the Central Division to break down where the Avs’ biggest rivals stand. From the rebuilding Blackhawks and uncertainty surrounding Connor Hellebuyck and the Jets, to the Predators, Mammoth, Blues and Stars, they examine which teams could rise, fall or become legitimate threats in the division. Finally, they dive into the biggest question hanging over Minnesota: what happens with Quinn Hughes? With Makar’s future officially secured in Colorado, all eyes now turn toward the Wild, Hughes’ next contract and what his decision could mean for one of the Avalanche’s biggest Central Division competitors.
