Cale Makar’s future with the Colorado Avalanche looks locked in, as GM Joe Sakic is confident a new deal will be done before his current contract expires after the 2026-27 season. While Makar’s current $9M salary was already a hometown discount, the rising salary cap—projected to hit $120M—could make him the NHL’s highest-paid player, potentially surpassing Kirill Kaprizov’s $17M. With $11.5M in cap space opening up as three forwards exit, the Avalanche have the financial flexibility to offer Makar a massive payday, setting a new standard for defenseman salaries.
