Risky as we have seen plenty of kids look on track only to regress

But I get why they did it and they think kid is going to continue to develop and prosper.

Surprised at the timing. They have that huge dead cap for 2 more years and Boldy was the only meaningful guy they could bridge.

But I guess they've made their projections for next year and think it's okay.

Hopefully HuGo lie and tell Caufield Boldy got this much because he can reach the top shelf.

Might not be the best next season, but when he has 3/4 years left on the deal it will more than likely look like a steal..

Good deal for both. Minny gets him cheaper than he would be if he was killing it, and Boldy becomes a UFA at 28 for a yuuuuge paycheque.

Not worried about his production going forward, he's fourth on the Wild in scoring.

Fair deal.

I expect his former teammates in Zegras and Caufield to eventually sign something similar.
Caufield is a sniper. He's got 26 goals. He will finish between 40 to 50 goals.
How much are a 40 + goal scorer got on the market ?
I think Montréal will Locked him with 7 years and 9M per year

I wouldn’t say disappointing. Up until recently he’s been playing with not so great players. Hartman is now on his line, so that’s a little better.
If his quality of linemates affects his production that much, this deal is not a good one for the Wild.
