## Resource

Hockey’s contract market just hit warp speed, with Macklin Celebrini commanding a jaw-dropping 18.8M/year on his Sharks extension — way ahead of Connor McDavid’s 12.5M/year Oilers deal.

Can Edmonton seize this window before McDavid’s golden era fades? Listen in comfort: Get a discount on a Soli Pillow: http://solipillow.com/discount/dnn.
