The Colorado Avalanche are loading up on Makars.
The team signed star defenceman Cale Makar’s younger brother, forward Taylor Makar, to a one-year entry-level contract for the 2025-26 season on Monday.
Taylor was selected by the Avalanche in the seventh round of the 2021 NHL Draft, four years after the team selected Cale fourth overall.
The 24-year-old Taylor Makar posted 18 goals and 30 points in 38 games with the University of Maine this season. He had spent the previous three seasons with UMass-Amherst before transferring last year.
