Hey, Bo Byram’s just like you, Avs fans. The closer Nathan MacKinnon and Colorado get to a long-term contract, the happier he’s going to be, too.
“For sure,” the young Avalananche defenseman told The Denver Post before being honored during the Broncos-Texans game at Empower Field Sunday.
“I don’t know, I haven’t really seen the (reports). But yeah, he’s a huge part of our team. Obviously, he’s our best player. He’s a big part of our locker room, so the quicker that can get that done, the better.”
MacKinnon said late last week during the NHL/NHLPA tour near Las Vegas that he and the Avs are “pretty close” to a contract extension that could make him the highest-paid player in the league.
