I wouldn't call this a steal. Faber has some developing, which may or may not happen, to make this contract fair value. He wouldn't be the first d-man to have one big season and then regress too.
Great player, but he was also 21 in this rookie season, not 18.
I would call this contract a calculated risk to retain top end talent, not a steal. Best case scenario is that the Wild are overpaying for the next couple of years and then get a steal on the last few years. A lot of things have to go right for that outcome to occur.
