Cale Makar Signs Entry Level Contract With Colorado Avalanche
Young Defenseman Set to Make NHL Debut
Makar was drafted 4th overall by the Avalanche in the 2017 NHL Entry Draft
Three days after winning the Hobey Baker Award as college hockey's top player and one day after signing an entry-level contract with the Colorado Avalanche, Cale Makar is set to make his NHL debut. The 20-year-old defenseman will join the Avalanche for their game against the Los Angeles Kings on Tuesday night.
Makar is one of the most highly touted prospects in hockey. He was named the NCAA's top defenseman in each of the past two seasons, and he helped lead the University of Massachusetts to the Frozen Four in 2019. Makar is a dynamic offensive player who can also play defense at a high level. He is expected to make an immediate impact for the Avalanche, who are looking to make a playoff run this season.
Makar's signing is a major coup for the Avalanche. He is one of the most talented young players in the NHL, and he is expected to be a key part of the team's future. The Avalanche are hoping that Makar can help them win their first Stanley Cup since 2001.
