Confirmed Signing with Link: [TBL] Brayden Point re-signs with the Lightning (8 years, $9.5M AAV)

[VanOriginal]

Can somebody calculate how much more he earns from this deal in Florida versus say somewhere in Canada? The equivalent is probably $12m in canada isn't it?

LOL it's still less than what Marner is making. The difference isn't as big as all would like to say

 

[Jerkbait]

Kid is a gamer . Top 10 in NHL. Clutch player . Winner . Well earned $$. That's how you build a winning franchise

 

[2020 Cup Champions]

More like taxes screw up every canadian team in the NHL. Point would need a 11M$ contract in Canads to make the same $ amount.

What happened to those 1sts that we were supposed to ship out with Tyler Johnson?

 

[LeafsandSharksfan]

Hefty tag but fairly earned.

 

[Icarium]

No chance. He isnt even a ppg player during the reg season.

The regular season is a formality for Tampa.

 

[ThePsychicSaw]

Envious of tampa, really am

congrats

 

[Boondock]

awesome deal but

Vasi, Point, Kuch @ 9.5M
Stamkos @ 8.5M
Hedman @ 7.75M

that's a lot of dough for 5 players

It is a lot of cap, but when you have great players this is what happens. TB is paying $44.75 for their top 5 paid (and performing) players. The Leafs top 5 make a combined $46.1 so as a percentage of cap space it is on par with other high end teams and in fact is better than some of the other high end teams in the league.

 

[KirkAlbuquerque]

fair deal.

 

[AD1066]

Certainly deserved, but going to squeeze the depth even further after next year. Will Palat be a goner?

 

[axlrose87]

Dubas would have doubled that contract and gave him a friendship bracelet.

 

[Pavels Dog]

Deals like this showcase how rough it is for Toronto to be paying more to 3 forwards that haven't won anything or really performed when it matters most.

Great deal for Tampa.

 

[snowkiddin]

Tampa is saving close to 10M on Kuch + Vasi + Point combined.

The joys of having a team in a fantastic location with no state income tax

 

[MBH]

Stamkos will be traded next year, I gotta think.

 

[Muston Atthews]

Mitch Marner special… oh wait

 

[Skinnyjimmy08]

Another steal for Tampa

Alot of jealous and pissed off rival fans now

 

[CanadienShark]

Worth it.

 

[Skinnyjimmy08]

Take a little less and build a winning team... this is how u do it

The joys of having a team in a fantastic location with no state income tax

How is Florida a great location for hockey? Anyone who claims TB has "great weather" has obviously never been to Tampa, the heat is unbearable.

The tax thing is just a massive cope from jealous fanboys. TB gets these deals because they've been the model organization in the sport since 2015. You don't see other no state tax teams getting discounts like this... I wonder why?

 

[Sinistril]

Good for him. Though, I don't see how people can call this a discount. I'd say it's market value

 

[Skinnyjimmy08]

Tampa always just quietly gets their guys locked in.. no drama, no holding out for extra money, no handcuffed their team for massive overpayments or anything.. elc, bridge and then a respectable fair long term deal for most of them.

Easy peasy for Tampa and they show ONCE AGAIN why they are the cream of the crop

 

[Mersss]

What happened to those 1sts that we were supposed to ship out with Tyler Johnson?

You got Seabrook back, and still had to trade a 2nd

 

[Henkka]

He got what he deserved. Nice for the equal caphit with the best team stars.

Point nets out $5,258,935 in Tampa with a $9,500,000 AAV


For him to net out the same income in the Canadian markets:
Vancouver - $11, 500,000
Calgary - $11,000,000
Edmonton - $11,000,000
Winnipeg - $11,700,000
Ottawa - $12,700,000
Toronto - $12,700,000
Montreal - $12,600,000

EDIT: Corrected the numbers above for $9.5m AAV (new contract extension), vs. $9m (this years salary)

Stamkos is the only one probably not worth the money at this point. the other guys can all take over games and are well worth their price points

 

[matt trick]

Market value for a #1 C, particularly one with two cups. Considering how underpaid he's been, this is more than fair.

Tampa is now paying market rate for just about all their guys, which means that all of the sudden one of their 4th rounders will become a franchise defenseman. They know how to build a team, and remain the team to beat!
