Please remember: this is NOT a Point vs. any player thread, let alone a Lightning vs. team, or fanbase vs. fanbase thread.
This is about Point and his contract. If you have a comparable you'd like to suggest, go ahead and post it with your reasoning. If you don't like a comparable you see in this thread, please feel free to move on.

This is the one that surprises me the most. I think because of the culture established in Tampa with the contracts that Nikita Kucherov, Victor Hedman and Andrei Vasilevskiy signed, I had that feeling that Point might be the first of the high-end RFAs to ink a deal this summer.
I was wrong.
Both Tampa GM Julien BriseBois and Point’s agent Gerry Johansson declined to comment on how talks were going. My sense, quite frankly, is that there haven’t been that many discussions this summer between the sides. But that certainly should change now with the specter of camp around the corner.
Johansson, I’m told, is meeting with Point on Wednesday in Calgary to further strategize with his client.
Point had a hip procedure done after the season but it sounds like he’s right on schedule in his recovery and should be ready for the start of the season.
