It’s not often that one of the highest paid players on a team’s roster is also one of its most undervalued ones, but that appears to be the case in Minnesota. Based on their examination of every NHL contract, The Athletic considers Matt Boldy’s 7-year, $49 million deal that was signed back in 2023 as one of the best contracts in the league.
Since signing the deal in January of 2023, the 24-year-old has recorded back-to-back seasons of 25+ goals and 65+ point seasons all while carrying a cap hit of $7 million.
