Matt Boldy's value-for-money contract is hailed as one of NHL's best-value deals
Minnesota Wild forward Matt Boldy isn't going to headline daily news, but his seven-year contract with the franchise has now received national attention for all the good reasons. Tired of too many ads? go ad free now In a recent breakdown by The Athletic's Dom Luszczyszyn, 23-year-old forward Boldy was included in the NHL's top ten contracts—a shocking but deserved recognition for the Wild front office. Minnesota Wild winger Matt Boldy received for contract value by league-wide review Dom Luszczyszyn graded player contracts on a combination of recent performance, long-term worth, and the extent to which players were exceeding their salary cap hits. At ninth on the list, Matt Boldy's contract—inked in January 2023 for $49 million over seven years—was an example of brilliant forward-looking roster construction. The Minnesota Wild has a gifted two-way winger under contract through the 2029-30 season, solidly in his athletic prime. Unlike numerous top NHL performers on the cusp of their prime, Matt Boldy has a contract for a salary that greatly falls below his market value. The average $7 million annual deal appears even better in contrast to such newer signings as the Anaheim Ducks' pact with elder Mikael Granlund for the same sum. Though experienced, Granlund does not carry the same potential or level of youthfulness that Boldy possesses. Why Are the Colorado Avalanche and Minnesota Wild Both Having Quiet Off-Seasons? Matt Boldy's contract extension provides Minnesota Wild with a unique victory in cap management If Matt Boldy were to reach unrestricted free agency today, it's generally felt he would be able to secure a contract in the high eight-figure per-year range. That scenario highlights just how great a deal his existing contract is for the Minnesota Wild, who've signed a prospective All-Star to a long-term contract at a bargain. Tired of too many ads? go ad free now The worth Matt Boldy provides is more than points. With cap situations remaining a problem for so many teams, contracts such as Boldy's are invaluable to a franchise trying to keep up without sacrificing financial flexibility. Also read: A welcome victory for the Minnesota Wild front office Though the Minnesota Wild have long been excoriated for disappointing playoff performances and cap errors, the Matt Boldy contract is a thoughtful success. As the team heads into what can be a make-or-break year, having a franchise winger committed through his prime on the cheap is stability and freedom both. If general manager Bill Guerin can construct around value deals such as Boldy's, the Wild could finally escape their playoff malaise.

Labor ‘steamrolling' Australian farmers with $12,000 renewable project fines
IPA Deputy Executive Director Daniel Wild discusses farmers protesting wild $12,000 fines for those who object to massive renewables projects on their land. 'This is a big issue, like you say, these farmers are getting steamrolled,' Mr Wild told Sky News host Paul Murray. 'The massive fine that they get, but also under this legislation, the government can appoint what it calls 'authorised officers' to enter the property of farmers without their consent, and they can't stop them from doing that. 'This goes against everything that it means to be an Australian.'
