Brock Faber is one of the best young defensemen in the NHL. He is the backbone of the Minnesota Wild defense. This season with the Wild, he recorded 47 points (eight goals and 39 assists) and was second in Calder Trophy voting for the NHL's Rookie of the Year behind Connor Bedard of the Chicago Blackhawks.
Faber played in all 82 games as a rookie during the 2023-24 campaign, averaging 24:58 of ice time. He will be the Wild's first defenseman going forward.
Brock Faber, extended for 8x$8.5M per MIN, is a young two-way defenseman who entered the NHL playing 25 minutes a night with solid production. His results dipped significantly in the second half of the season, but the Wild clearly see him as their 1D of the future. pic.twitter.com/ZQss7foYjJ

Although the terms and dollars seem high, this number will be a steal for the Wild as the salary cap increases in the coming seasons.

There has been a lot of talk about Martin Necas' future in Carolina. As NHLRumors.com reported, Necas was in the trade zone. However, the Hurricanes wanted to sign him and make him a part of the club's future.
NHL rumors: Mitch Marner, Martin Necas, and Jacob Trouba
Necas provides offense to a club that needs it, especially given the losses this past season. He had 53 points (24 goals and 29 assists) in 77 games last season with the Hurricanes. It will be interesting to see if his role expands under coach Rod Brind'Amour.
