YESSSSSSSSSSSSSSS
MY CROPS ARE WATERED
Love to see it
HELL YEAAAAA!!!
Nice!!!

FUCK YES!! Good job getting this done now before he played himself out of our pay range.
MalHIMski
4x$4.75 per Friedman
Awesome! Well earned Sammy!
Eyyyyyyyyy! Let’s go Sam!!
This is clutch and peak. I have been seeing fans of other teams start talking about “who the hell is this malinski kid?” Which means you know there was interest from other GMs too. He was definitely going to see some tempting offers this offseason.
Hell yeah!!! Super excited about this! What’s the salary hit for Sam “Cale makar” Malinski?


That’s less than what Girard is currently making. This is a good deal
Well deserved
nice

sadly Girard is absolutely getting traded now after this
This feels like my boy G is about to get traded. Still, happy for the other Sam, he’s earned every penny of this.
Great news!
Great extension, and he seems to be taking good cues from his fellow defensemen, and only gonna get better
Nice! Now do Drury…
What a great contract! Some games I get him and Cale mixed up! Sam has really fit in with this team! I’m a very happy Avs fan right now! 🎉
Excellent news, Sam deserves it! 👍
Yes! Every game this guy elevates his play. He looks more and more dominant every time he plays and honestly I see a bit of Makar in him! Great signing, I for one am very excited to see him play for a long time here!
Love it. You can really see his growth this season.
This guy is only getting better. Love to see it.
Four more years of absolute goalie-destroying bombs from the kid, we will be there
YAAAASSSSSS. He’s getting better each season. In a few years this might look like an absolute steal of a contract.
Amazing news, now I ca be an Avs fan for 4 more years.
Let’s go! Sam deserves every penny of this contract and I’m beyond psyched to see him in an Avs sweater for many more years to come.

Late bloomers of the world, unite!
He deserves to be an Avalanche legend.
