Cale Makar has made NHL history. The Colorado Avalanche defenseman has agreed to an eight-year contract extension worth $20.4 million per season, making him the first $20 million player in NHL history. The deal totals $163.2 million and includes a full no-movement clause, with the majority of the contract paid through signing bonuses.
David Pagnotta breaks down Makar’s record-setting contract and what it means for the rest of the NHL. The new deal could have major implications for Quinn Hughes and his contract negotiations with the Minnesota Wild, while other stars around the league, including Cutter Gauthier, are also looking for significant extensions. Plus, we discuss Connor Hellebuyck’s trade request as the NHL offseason starts to heat up heading into September.
