Yup. 3 years left, Avs begin to speak to him about extension in the last year. Makar's agent will come out and say that they do not want to talk about an extension during the year as it's a distraction, so they have behind the scenes conversations in the summer, but nothing gets done. Avs decide it's a risk that they lose Cale for nothing if they wait until the offseason and so ask him if there's any specific team he'd be willing to move to and extend with. He ends up being a Flame around that season's all star break and extends with his hometown team shortly after the trade (sign and trade is facilitated by the Avs for the Flames to get 8-years).
