I'll happily pay Wolf $8-$9M at age 25 if he continues to develop the way he has.

We gave a 30 year goalie $6M which accounted for 7.36% of the salary cap at the time.

With 2025/2026 projected to be $93.5M, it's not crazy to expect that the salary cap will be $100M when Wolf is up for a contract. Add an age premium for being 25 rather than 30, and a 30 year old getting $6M is still worse than a 25 year old getting $8.5M in my eyes.

I hope Wolf forces us to pay him $13M in two years. That'd be rad.
