Colorado Avalanche: Makar's Contract, Schwartz Fit, Central Crown | Beatline Avalanche

The Colorado Avalanche are one week into the offseason, sitting atop the Central Division. In this mailbag episode, we break down Cale Makar's upcoming contract extension, which could reset the defenseman market. We also analyze the signing of Jaden Schwartz and how he fits into the forward group. Plus, we answer fan questions about the roster logjam and make bold predictions for the season ahead.

We dive deep into Makar's next deal, comparing it to Bowen Byram's $12.5 million AAV and projecting a range of $13.5-$14.5 million. We discuss the ripple effect on Quinn Hughes and the Avalanche's cap structure. Then, we examine where Schwartz slots in—likely as a middle-six winger with a defensive conscience, possibly on the second power play unit. We tackle the 12-centers problem, naming Brock Nelson, Martin Necas, and Alex Newhook as potential wingers or trade chips, with Ryan Johansen as a possible odd man out. In the lightning round, we predict Alexandar Georgiev as the opening night starter, the Avs winning the Central, and Schwartz scoring 18 goals. We also debate the impossible choice between keeping Makar or Nathan MacKinnon, with Makar winning out.

This episode is for every Avs fan who wants to know what's next for the team. Hosts Allison and Derek break down the biggest storylines with insider knowledge. The Beatline is your daily dose of Colorado Avalanche hockey, so subscribe, rate, and review to stay up to date all season long.
