The Colorado Avalanche have signed Nathan MacKinnon to a massive eight-year extension, making him the NHL's new highest-paid player.
thehockeynews.comI don’t have live access to current news in this moment. Here’s what I can share based on the latest widely reported information up to 2022:
- Nathan MacKinnon signed an eight-year extension with the Colorado Avalanche in September 2022, making him one of the highest-paid players in the NHL at that time. The deal was announced around the start of training camp and was reported to be worth about $100.8 million with an average annual value of roughly $12.6 million. This contract runs through the 2030-31 season. [Multiple outlets reported the eight-year term and the AAV; see NHL.com, ESPN, NBC Sports, and others from that period.]
