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.

Agree. Especially about the Canadian market part.
We focused on staying below Gio's "cap" to save room for older mid's.
If we instead bet the farm on talent at younger ages, then we are in a different position. And it wouldn't have been that wild of a bet given how players were trending.
