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

[expatriatedtexan]

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

Hmm... So, 95.5M payroll, max a player can take is 20%... so call it 19M/year and we are good?

As bad as their drafting has been, they still hit enough on guys like Barron, Helleson, Ritchie, Annunen, Kovalenko, and Zellers to enable them to use them to trade for Lehkonen, Manson, Blackwood, Wedgewood, Nelson, and Coyle.

Looking at the names we traded away. I don't see problem with our system. It's pretty amazing really. We got for a lot of nothing amazing players. (Okay Ritchie will be fine NHLer, Kovalenko too)

Consider that his home-town discount?

TBH, I'm not sure I see Cale going for an insane amount on his next contract. Don't get me wrong, he will absolutely get paid well because of the cap increase but I think he values winning over money. My guess is he signs 8 year, somewhere around 13-13.5m

Hometown discount for Calgary?

That's too little but of course that would be amazing.

I mean... if he feels that strongly about it, sure?!!
