## Resource

NHL contract chaos looms as massive deals reshape the landscape—how soon before the Utah Mammoth feel the impact? Tom Callahan and Robin Leano break down the Zeev Buium blockbuster, analyze Logan Cooley’s $10 million deal, and spotlight team-friendly contracts like Dylan Guenther’s. With rising cap space projections but key players like Clayton Keller, Barrett Hayton, and Lawson Crouse approaching major negotiations, the Mammoth’s window for value may be closing. Should fans brace for a franchise-altering move at the trade deadline? Key questions center on the looming decision about Connor Hellebuyck and how his potential $8.5 million contract could force tough choices about the roster. How will GM Bill Armstrong navigate a tightening salary cap, and could fan favorites be on the move? Plus, insights into contract history, salary cap trends, and why Atlanta’s expansion rumors might not be as far along as reported—all shaping the future of the Utah Mammoth.
