    7 years, 6 more cups.

    Yeah, that’s worth it.

    LFG!!!! Huge to lock up Toews and 7×7 is pretty much exactly what I was hoping for.

    7×7 is a great deal based on the market and better than I was expecting.

    Hail Satan!

    Praise be to CMac. One of the most important pieces to our successes over the past few seasons.

    Really smart sign on. I think he’s the type of player who’s going to age very well and probably play until he’s almost 40. I wouldnt say that about makar unless his game changes.

  7. MileHighlyCertain

    Congrats, Devon. Great deal all around.

    Happy Friday, fellow Avs’ fans.

    That is such an insane contract for Towes. He could have gotten wayyyy more than that as a FA.

    Absolutely love it.

    ahhh yeah. my wife will be happy. She loves to call him “taser toes”.

    It is a great day for the Avalanche, and therefore the world.

  11. Saltwaterborn

    The fact that the cap is supposed to increase pretty generously over the next few years makes this a good deal.

    The fact that he could have probably gotten 9+ on the open market makes this a fucking superb deal.

    Chris and Big Daddy Joe knew where their priorities were this season and I am HERE. FOR. IT.

  13. Awkward_traveler

    I love it. Cap hell be damned. It’s a good problem to have, not like we’re eating a bad Parise contract

  14. Lurkersunion

    He will be the 29th highest paid defenseman next year. Probably lower once other contracts get done.

  15. There are 6 threads about this on the sub. I feel like there should be one more so there are 7 threads about #7 signing for 7 years at $7.25 million AAV.

    But anyway, great deal, glad he’s sticking around. Probably means Girard or Byram will be traded after this season…. hope they can find a number to keep Byram around when it’s time so they can have a big 3 D core of Makar, Toews and Byram for a while.

    Amazing deal

    This summer/next season will be real interesting as far as extensions go. Rants and Georgie are UFAs in 25-26, and Byram will be an RFA.

  17. There is probably a clause saying Makar has to take his family to Disneyland every summer all inclusive.

    That will make up the difference easy.

  18. HOW THE FUCK DID WE GET THIS UNDER 8.5 MILLION also 7 years instead of 8 so if he ages badly that’s one less year at the end.
