Joe Sakic is not exactly leaving room for interpretation here, and that matters when the name on the line is Cale Makar. The Avalanche know what they have, and the front office is already being measured against the clock before this turns into a full-blown summer saga. With a player this important, every public word gets parsed like it came from a contract lawyer instead of a hockey lifer.
