Avalanche sign Nathan MacKinnon to 8-year contract extension

After a couple of days of rumors and hints that Nathan MacKinnon is going to get his deserved contract extension, the news has become official.

Announced by the team on Tuesday morning, the Colorado Avalanche have signed MacKinnon to an eight-year, $100.8-million deal that will keep him in Denver through the 2030-31 season.

The 27-year-old center was set to become an unrestricted free agent next summer, as he is heading into the 2022-23 season under the final year of his seven-year deal he signed back in 2016, but will now remain on the Avalanche and have his new deal starting next season.
