## Resource

NHL players raced to lock in deals before new seven-year, 60% bonus caps took effect — but Edmonton’s Matt Savoie held out, proving his value with 18 goals and 37 points last season, especially after the Olympic break. With a breakout second half and prime ice time with McDavid, he’s poised for a major raise. GM Stan Bowman stays tight-lipped on specifics but signals confidence the deal will happen when timing is right, amid shifting league dynamics and salary cap realities.
