hard to imagine his next deal will make up the difference. He'd have to make 14 per on the next contract.

Brayden Point - CapFriendly - NHL Salary Caps
Cap Friendly has it as a flat deal, $6.75 mil every year... not sure if confirmed.
EDIT - Notes added --> UNCONFIRMED: Contract based on initial report. Once the details have been confirmed the contract will be updated

Should fire his agent for not taking him at least to UFA.
Damn that's a good contract for TB though.
Edit: Maybe it might not be. If Point produces more, TB may have to pay for it later.

I mean he said he was only interested in signing with Tampa all summer...

Vasilevskiy already took a bridge deal. It makes total sense he just cashed in.

Vasi's contract was his third. His second contract was much smaller.

He'll likely have a huge salary on year 3 of his deal, basically turning this deal into a 4 year deal that takes him straight to UFA.

Interesting. Great short term contract for both sides, hes going to get paid later on though. Makes me think that Tkachuk isnt happy with this, Flames should be able to sign him for a cheap short term contract now.

Lol wat? You think he’ll only sign a one year deal after this one?
Makes you wonder what TBL's 1st offer was. Half-way through training camp, one assumes 6.75 is what they upped the offer to.
At this price, seems like a deal could have been done a long time ago. Maybe the QO is in the 11-12 range? Was Tampa being ultra-stingy or did Point just cave? So many questions!

Right. TB didn't buy out any UFA years so of course his AAV was going to be much less than guys like Aho (1 year) and Marner (2 years).

Comparing a 3 year deal to a 6 year deal. Makes sense.

Vasi already did his bridge deal. TB pays lower on the bridge on the 2nd deal and then takes care of them in the 3rd contract.

His point is that all he has to do is accept a Qualifying Offer and it's automatically a 1 year deal. And if this contract is structured with a high year 3 salary, his QO will be high.
Not saying that WILL happen though, but it's possible.
About as good as we reasonably could have hoped for. Still gonna lose some people next summer but this deal continues the team’s tradition of reasonable post-ELC contracts and gives us our best realistic chance at retaining our key RFAs. And now we don’t need to worry about Point until Palat comes off the books, at which time we can afford to give him the big payday he wants.

It's either he signs a long term deal at or above his very high QO or he gets a 1 year QO that takes him straight to UFA. This puts Point in control of negotiations in 3 years, he either gets what he wants or he takes the very high QO (probably around $10 million if I had to guess) and heads to UFA.
Apparently people on the main board don't understand how term works.
This is a solid deal, but it's not other worldly. Point is going to cash in big-time in three years.

Oh no! We suck again!!
Vasilevskiy was on his 3rd NHL contract. That's the one where guys who are elite get paid like it. Point will be no different in 3 years when he's signed to a $9.5 million AAV extension

Same. I'm curious to see how high his QO will be at the end of this deal. We've seen a couple other bridges already this summer where the AAV seems low to reasonable, but the salary is structured such that the next contract will have a significantly higher minimum.

Based on initial reports. Yearly salary is undisclosed insofar.
