If we end up getting Karlsson, lock it in.

Yes. Yzerman in various forms of evil masterminds. Heisenberg. Emperor Palpatine. Thanos.

Easily this year, our Playoff Avatars, if we make it should be Cap Circumvention, Unfair Tax Laws, 20% More Cap.

Playoff avatars should always include a jab at other fanbases about some dumb things they have said about us/our team.

I love how big markets love to throw "endorsements" around about why free agent X will make more money in big market Y anyways, and then they're the first to cry about unfair tax benefits when they don't get their prize or low AAV.

I wonder how stamkos feels about not being the highest paid player on the team.

 

[The Macho King]

I wonder how stamkos feels about not being the highest paid player on the team.

I doubt he cares.

 

[The Gongshow]

Under double digits and for long term. Love it, Yzerman has done it again and really set the standard for signing in Tampa. Our big 3 took discounts, if anyone else wants to join the winning culture be prepared to take a bit of a friendlier deal... looking at you E.K

I wonder how stamkos feels about not being the highest paid player on the team.

Why would he care if a better player is paid more?

 

[ScaredStreit]

Terrific contract, great job Yzerman...the guy never ceases to amaze me.

 

[Lord Stan 2020]

kuch signed no big deal

 

[DaBolts]

Stevie Freaking Yzerman.

Just loving every minute of this.

Don't the players pay taxes based off of the city the play in? Meaning home games are tax free for Tampa but all the away games are taxed at the rate for where the game is played .

Taxed on salary, that's why for example the first season is heavy bonus, because that is taxed in Florida. I think the league might be cracking down now on the tax thing, that's why Kuch's yearly bonus is all over the place. Compare his to Stamkos or Hedman's contracts.

 

[Flat Ronnie]

Another reason this probably got done now is because ththeththey dont want any uncertainty or distractions next year. Next year is another very important year in our window.

Different times too.

Is this a Breaking Bad reference?

Correct.

Everybody can go **** themselves. John Shannon, Eklund, everybody. They should all stop pretending to know anything about the Lightning, these "The Lightning might have to trade Kucherov" click-bait mother****ers.

Eklund is a idiot but Shannon said we might have to trade kucherov if we signed Tavares

Interesting chart
