You believe in the player and they’ve shown the promise? Lock up their core years and be done with it. Paying players in their prime is better than the alternative.
Buffalo looks to be doing the same. Pay young players what they’re worth today/tomorrow, and don’t grind them.

Sanderson isn't as proven as guys like McDavid, Draisaitl, Fox, Makar, etc where when they got their big deals.
It's still a pretty big risk - this deal makes him the 14th highest paid dman in the NHL for the 24-25 season.
He still had a year left on his ELC too - why not just wait a bit - honeslty unless he wins the Norris I don't think he's getting more than $8M next offseason.
