Salary Cap: Chris MacFarland - Record as Avalanche GM (Updates In First Post)

They could have trade him away but the cost was a 1st round pick. Which we later used to dump RyJo.

The RyJo pick was the 2025 1st. This would’ve been a 2023 1st to attach to EJ, which we ending up using to draft Cal Ritchie.

If Makar walks in 27/28 that'll be the end for this core and the time to start building up futures. If he stays, they'll keep trying for a couple more seasons with MacK/Nuke/Necas/Makar/Toews. At latest the rebuild will start in 30/31 imo but most likely before then.

24-25 best chance for a cup
25-26 still a good chance
26-27 a good chance if Necas stays, otherwise a low chance
27-28 rebuild if Makar leaves, otherwise a low chance
28-29 a low chance or miss playoffs
29-30 a low chance or miss playoffs
30-31 rebuild

Cale Makar will have a record breaking contract on his desk the second July 1st hits.

McDavid goes first so I don't think it will be record breaking. Unless we're talking defensemen only.

For sure. It's not the money I'm worried about.
