Celebrini contract extension could have just complicated matters for Makar, Avalanche

But the bottom line is that his contract has now complicated matters for the Colorado Avalanche, and specifically Cale Makar. If Celebrini is worth $18.8 million, how much is Cale Makar worth? So, if Makar’s camp wanted to go to the Avalanche and say, “Celebrini is worth $18.8 million, Makar should get the max $20.8 million,” who’s going to disagree? Makar will not likely gouge AvalancheOne of the things I’ve said throughout this conversation is that Makar’s camp will not strangle the Avalanche. If Makar’s camp goes that route, they’ll prove they're committed to helping the organization win now.
