Overview

• Taylor Makar is attending Colorado’s development camp yet has not skated due to an upper-body injury.
• He signed an entry-level NHL contract in March after posting 18 goals and 12 assists in 38 games at the University of Maine; in five games with the AHL’s Colorado Eagles, he scored one goal.
• He trains alongside his older brother, Norris Trophy–winning defenseman Cale Makar, who advises him to stay true to himself on his path to the NHL.
• A sibling duo on one Avalanche roster would be rare in the NHL, a feat accomplished only by pairs like the Hughes brothers.
• Colorado’s deep forward lineup on a Stanley Cup contender makes it difficult for the 24-year-old prospect to secure his first NHL roster spot.
