## Resource

Stan Bowman’s contract spree since July 24, 2024, has delivered big wins and a few stinkers—here’s the breakdown. Draisaitl’s eight-year, $112M extension locked in a franchise cornerstone at a steal of a cap hit, setting the stage for McDavid’s own deal. Meanwhile, Trent Frederic’s eight-year, $30.8M contract—a max-term, no-movement clause—stands as a glaring failure after barely contributing in the playoffs. Evan Bouchard’s four-year, $42M pact and McDavid’s two-year, $25M extension both shine as smart, high-impact signings. Despite missteps like Mangiapane and Frederic, Bowman’s overall track record is strong: more hits than misses, keeping key players and building a roster that’s poised to compete.
