News: Brayden Point open to bridge, 5-year or even 8-year extension with Tampa as per agent

[Byron Bitz]

My guess is a 5 year deal 10.7 per

5 at 8.75 is my guess

That's more realistic, but I would almost bet he would sign for 8 years at that AAV.

Not a chance, Point is cashing in at the right time, the cap just went up and Matthews just signed for 11.6. Obviously Matthews is better than Point but Point is outproducing him this year so he won’t sign for too much less.

I am bookmarking your comment to @ you when you're proven to be massively wrong.

 

[DistantThunderRep]

Time and time again I think Dom isn't going to say even more ridiculous things but then he calls Matthews the best player in the league.

Where was this?

Will be interesting to see what Marner signs for, the guys on Sportsnet we’re suggesting Point and Marner will get identical deals at around 10 mil. Marner is a slightly better player but Point plays the more valuable position.

Where was this?

Probably somewhere around page 5. Can't remember exactly.

 

[AndreRoy]

Marner is a slightly better player

 

[God King Fudge]

5*9.5

Wont get paid more than Kuch, but cap has gone up since the deal was signed.
He is a C so you pay a premium, and Tampa decides to do a 5 year deal so they keep the AAV down as much as possible.

He's not getting 9.5 on a bridge.

Can we start a Brayden Point Offer sheet thread?

Go to the main trade board and then click on "Post new thread" (top right) and then put in a title (maybe like Brayden Point offer sheet thread)

Type your body in the field and then click on "Create Thread".

I don’t know why we are still debating this, he is getting 8x8.

STOP!!!! There are ample Leafs threads here. Do you'll REALLY have to try and turn EVERY DAMNED THREAD into a Maple Leafs thread? Just stop.

I'm going to say screw everything. Point will sign for 6 years 6.5 just so HFBoards and TSN can have their minds explode while truly tackling the taxes problem.

Why bother? Unlike Toronto we won’t have any problem paying our star RFA. (Since they insist on making this thread about them, let’s go there.)

 

[LeafFever]

Contrary to popular belief, Matthews only taxed about 15% on 95%+ of his money on his new deal. I am not sure Point's deal will be some sweetheart based on no state taxes.
Signing bonuses have a completely different tax structure than salary. U.S laws do not allow Canada to tax U.S citizens 50% on bonuses.

He will sign a team-friendly sweetheart deal because he loves the team, loves the owner, loves the city. He's a 21-22 year old kid living the dream.

We'll see if his reps feel that way.

Tampa could match a possible 11 mill offer sheet?

Rielly was RFA and makes 5 million. Kadri RFA and makes 4.5. Andersen RFA and makes 5 million.

Actually never done this. Sound advice, thanks!

No he wont stick it to his team like a couple guys recently have to their team

Mark my words he wont be getting anything more than Stammer or Kuch on THIS deal. Itll be a bridge at a lower amount and then his next deal will potentially be more

Maple leafs have an unfair tax advantage, when is the nhl going to step in and level the playing field for other teams!?!?!?
