Utah Mammoth center Logan Cooley (92) skates after the puck as the Utah Mammoth and Buffalo Sabres play at the Delta Center in Salt Lake City on Wednesday, Nov. 12, 2025. A year ago this week, the Deseret News published an article entitled “Why Logan Cooley should NOT sign yet.” Unfortunately for Cooley, he doesn’t seem to be a Deseret News reader. The now-22-year-old signed an eight-year deal in October worth a total of $80 million — $10 million annually. Cooley will have enough money to last generations too, but his deal puts him significantly behind the others.
