The Colorado Avalanche have announced they have re-signed Taylor Makar to a two-year extension worth $1.75 million. The first year of the contract is two-way, making him waiver-exempt.
Makar played his first full professional season last year, splitting time between the AHL Colorado Eagles and the Colorado Avalanche as a call-up. In 56 games with the Eagles, he finished with 14 goals and 10 assists for 24 points, while with the Avalanche, he scored 12 goals but didn’t record a point.

With the Eagles, he finished sixth on the team in goals and was tied for 10th in scoring. In the Calder Cup playoffs, he had two goals and four assists for six points in 17 games.
A younger brother of Avalanche defenseman Cale Makar, Taylor played all 12 games with the Avalanche alongside his brother and became the first siblings in Avalanche history to both appear in the same game since Colorado relocated from Quebec. Joining Anton, Peter, and Marian Stastny as the only brothers in franchise history to do so.
The 6-foot-4, 109-pound winger turns 26 this upcoming season on March 13 and will look to be another top candidate for the Avalanche as a call-up if any injury occurs.
