Instead, he will head into the season in the final year of his three-year entry-level contract, with hopes that he can earn a more significant contract for 2024-25 and beyond.\u00a0<\/p>\n<p class=\"mb-4 text-lg\">On Monday\u2019s episode of <a class=\"text-secondary underline underline-offset-2\" href=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/watch?v=B_yGev-niUM\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer nofollow\" hreflang=\"en\">Daily Faceoff LIVE<\/a>, Tyler Yaremchuk and Carter Hutton broke down his approach, and the trend of young players betting on themselves.\u00a0<\/p>\n<p class=\"mb-4 text-lg\">Yaremchuk: The Utah mammoth are trying to get to the finish line with Logan Cooley and reportedly offered him a $77 million deal and eight year contract. Cooley turned it down, thinking that if he has a big year, he could be somewhere in the\u00a0 $11 million AAV range. It takes some guts to turn down $77 million guaranteed.<\/p>\n<p class=\"mb-4 text-lg\">Hutton: This is what we talked about and we touched on it last week. I\u2019ve been shouting from the rooftops that these kids are a different generation of player, right, where the term is out the window.\u00a0<\/p>\n<p class=\"mb-4 text-lg\">The way that cap is going up, these guys want short term, or they want to exceed that money, so I give them credit, because I was the opposite \u2013 I was thinking long term and just thinking top dollar as much as I could make, and giving myself a seat at the table.\u00a0<\/p>\n<p class=\"mb-4 text-lg\">A lot of these guys are in a different position now, but that being said, I love Logan Cooley. He\u2019s a great player and I think his upside is there, and he\u2019s betting on himself, and he\u2019s betting on Utah to have a good year too.<\/p>\n<p class=\"mb-4 text-lg\">You can catch the full contract talk, including the Cooley segment from Monday\u2019s episode here\u2026<\/p><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"Logan Coolley is one of the brightest young stars in the NHL, but he\u2019s betting on himself when&hellip;\n","protected":false},"author":2,"featured_media":194673,"comment_status":"","ping_status":"","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[556],"tags":[64,63,575,85],"class_list":{"0":"post-194672","1":"post","2":"type-post","3":"status-publish","4":"format-standard","5":"has-post-thumbnail","7":"category-nhl","8":"tag-au","9":"tag-australia","10":"tag-nhl","11":"tag-sports"},"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/au\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/194672","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/au\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/au\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/au\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/2"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/au\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=194672"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/au\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/194672\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/au\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/194673"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/au\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=194672"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/au\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=194672"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/au\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=194672"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
