The Colorado Avalanche’s championship window may be closing faster than fans want to admit. After a dominant regular season and playoff run, injuries and aging stars are raising alarms. The biggest concern? Keeping star defenseman Cale Makar locked down with a long-term deal—his playoff injury could sideline him at the start of next season. Meanwhile, Toronto holds Colorado’s 2027 first-round pick, which is top-ten protected, adding pressure as the Avs face stiff competition in the Central Division. If Makar isn’t signed, their elite status could slip into wildcard territory. The future hinges on one critical move: securing their cornerstone before July 1.
