I think studying your young players and getting them on long term deals earlier than later is a major key to succeeding in the cap era and it's good we got ours done with Lindholm/Hanifin and home grown Andersson early.

You might miss (Edmonton/Nurse) but I believe the reward weighs out the risk in most cases.

What's funny is that Edmonton probably has one of the best contracts in the league with Draisaitl, but they essentially wasted all that by overpaying Nurse lol.
