Believe in Zeev: the Canucks extend Buium for 8 years

🚨 THE VANCOUVER CANUCKS JUST LOCKED UP ZEEV BUIUM! 🚨

The Canucks have officially made a MASSIVE commitment to one of the most important pieces of their rebuild.

Vancouver has signed Zeev Buium to an 8-year, $75.04 million contract extension, carrying a $9.38 million annual cap hit.

And now the big question:

Did the Canucks just lock up their next franchise defenseman? 👀

Buium is only 20 years old, and Vancouver is betting BIG on what he can become. After acquiring him as part of the Quinn Hughes trade, the Canucks have now made it crystal clear that Buium is a major part of their future.

But $9.38 million per season is a HUGE number.

Is this going to become an absolute bargain if Buium develops into the player Vancouver believes he can be?

Or did the Canucks just pay a premium for potential?

We're breaking down the contract, the risk, the upside, the salary-cap implications and what this means for the Canucks' rebuild.
