Cale Makar Hopes Avalanche Get New Deal Done With Devon Toews
1 year agoColorado Avalanche defenseman Cale Makar hopes the team can sign his running mate Devon Toews to a new deal. Toews enters a contract year in 2023-24. "I feel like he's one of the best defensemen in the League," Makar recently told NHL.com. "I don't know if he's underrated anymore. I have no doubt they'll get something done. You want something that works for both sides and he's a guy that definitely deserves it." Makar and Toews have both benefited from their partnership since the latter arrived in town in 2020. Makar has taken most of the limelight, winning the Norris Trophy and Conn Smythe Trophy in 2022, but Toews has also had a very productive spell in Denver. The 29-year has tallied 138 points (29 goals, 109 assists) in 199 regular-season games for the Avalanche with 310 blocks and a superb plus-120 rating.
