NHL:
If Cale Makar hits 17–18M, can Colorado still keep MacKinnon and the rest of the core under cap pressure?
Qwiket AI:
Extending Makar at that level would compress Colorado’s structure, likely forcing compromises with other core players or trades. The team would need efficient cost-controlled contracts and smart asset management to avoid crowding the top lines and keep room for depth pieces needed in a long playoff run.
