Big dick Nick with the biggest Sens trolling job ever. Simply epic

Helluva player, glad to see him doing well in Tampa and proving he is a stud in the playoffs.
I'm sure the sens will be looking for a Nick Paul replacement shortly and have to overpay to get one.

He wasn't great in the series. He had a great last game which I am sure all Sens fans are thankful for.

In the 7 game series I watched Nick Paul was great. Maybe you think missing a PK breakaway is a failure instead of an accomplishment, so we see the game differently

Why? He decided not to sign in Ottawa. It’s not like we didn’t try to keep but he has control over where he signs.
You totally miss the point. Former Sens player eliminates the Leafs. Next best thing to the Sens doing it themselves.

Atta boy Nick! The legend continues. Still in our hearts.
Awesome game. Wish you could have been clutch for us a playoff series, love watching you take down the leafs though!
I don’t want to cheer for Tampa anymore, but I do want to see you lift a cup…

I thought he played well all series, just couldn’t convert on his chances until game 7. Picked a great time.

Anyway you look at Nick Paul, advanced stats or eye test, should reveal you that he is a quality player. Nobody says he is McDavid but you're lucky if you have him in your bottom-6. Julien Brisebois is one of the best GMs, if not the best, and will find a way to re-sign him. Nick Paul will leave a bit of money on the table to be in Florida, pay less taxes and win.

Not sure, think I heard the Sens offer was maximum 2.7? You will have to ask posters who follow that kind of stuff more closely

According to capfriendly's tax calculator, a $2.7m salary would work out to $1.283m in Ottawa and $1.620m in Tampa. In fact Ottawa could pay in $3.4m and he would still be earning a bit less after taxes than the $2.7m in Florida would yield.

If this is true (I assume it is), brutal. Supports what Methot has said in his podcast, taxes matter.
NHL should equalize the playing field somehow. Adjust cap and transfer payments?
It's worse for Canadian teams because there revenue is in cdn dollars so it's not equal. Attendance should be better in Canada on average vs US but still
It would be political suicide to drop taxes on athletes though with the avg income of Canadian's and the rise of cost of living.

Paul is from Toronto right? Some irony that he scored two and likely saved a goal in game 7.
I really hope he doesn’t want to come “home” a la John Tavares!
I’d still love him on our team though.

Of course it is true - it’s wonderful that cap friendly starts to publish this inequity -
So many here complain why our GM doesn’t sign or trade for the players they want. They don’t realize that players simply don’t want to give away their money and that’s before we deal with weather, restaurants, team management, and the usual points.

How Nick Paul joined Lightning lore in a gutsy Game 7 vs. his hometown Leafs
Before the trade deadline, Tampa Bay thought Paul could be a difference-maker, and he proved them correct.

Never doubted this guy and his potential to shine under the brightest of spotlights. Nick Paul is like another Pageau, he plays BIGGER when the game's on the line. Congrats!
