## Resource

NHL teams are racing to lock up young stars with long-term deals before the deadline, betting on rising salary caps to make these contracts future bargains. Vancouver’s Zeev Buium and Boston’s Fraser Minten inked massive extensions, setting a new trend. Edmonton’s Matt Savoie, nearly identical in rookie stats to Minten and just seven picks behind Buffalo’s Noah Ostlund, is now the focus. Savoie’s added penalty-killing value could push him between Ostlund’s $6.6M and Minten’s $7.2M deals — a sweet spot at around $6.95M over seven years. Signing now secures cost certainty and avoids the risk of a breakout season driving his price sky-high or another team poaching him. It’s a high-stakes gamble, but one that could pay off big for the Oilers if Savoie fulfills his potential. Listen in comfort: Get a discount on a Soli Pillow: http://solipillow.com/discount/dnn.
