These young guys aren't going to command huge dollars in their first contracts after their entry level deals anyway. They will sign bridge deals for 3-4 seasons and less money, then theoretically get their big paydays.

Patrick and Provorov could be different in that respect, but I still don't see Provorov getting $7 million per season right away in 2019, even if he is actually worth it at the time. $5-6 million is a better estimate, which basically just has him taking MacDonald's money.

This is why home grown talent is best. Building your team via the draft. You get several good/great years of players while they are very inexpensive and they may even take a hometown discount by the time they are really getting paid.

I wish everything that you believe happens because it does sound nice when you write it. I wish all of our young players not only Prov took less than they are worth. Problem is it doesn't happen to often.

It does happen often for home grown talent. We're building a powerhouse team here slowly but surely and guys are going to take less to be a part of it. Ghost could've probably gotten a lot more than $4.5 million if he really wanted it, especially considering that was not a bridge deal. He's put up 85 points in only two seasons while missing a bunch of games too. Not many defensemen do that right out of the gate.

Again it does sound good. As far as Ghost "a lot" more is a bit of a stretch dont you think.

We need all of the young guns to step up if we are going to make the playoffs this season and get these kids some playoff experience.

Three of the top 9 forward may be Koneckny, Patrick and Lindblom. Defense could have Ghost, Morin, Hagg, Sanheim or Myers. Couts is 24 and Weal 25. Go young guys!!

Who's next: 4 young duos that could get paid like McDavid-Draisaitl

A lot of articles saying the young stars are going to get paid because of the Draisaitl contract. This article brings up Zach Werenski and we all know Prov is every bit as good if not better.
