Reports circulated on Thursday that a deal between the Avalanche and Makar was close. This came several days after President and GM Joe Sakic told the media ahead of the alumni game that he was pretty confident he would get a deal done with Cale Makar. He was worried about the September 15th deadline.
Remember, come September 16th, the CBA states the max term for a player to stay with his own team is seven years. Well, the Avalanche got what they wanted: an eight-year deal, while Makar got the money he wanted.
