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

you lost gourde instead. I'm pretty sure that talk was all about getting Seattle to take Johnson over Gourde

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.

Yes the weather sucks for about 6 months a year. Sunny 95 degrees and humid though is still a lot more fun than shoveling snow/ice off your car at 6am in ZERO degrees cloudy/dreary weather.

Plus the other 6 months of the year it's 70s-80s and no humidity which is perfect.

 

[BamBam1031]

Wow, that's a lot of money and term. Can't say he doesn't deserve it, though. The guy is nails. What's Tampa's cap look like now?

Lived in Florida. Lived In Colorado. I’ll take snow over humidity 10/10.

 

[EastVillageBlues]

Congrats.

One of the premiere players in the league, by my counts. 9.5 is actually not much of a price to pay.

 

[joplin]

This guy's career was made by Kucherov, what a joke

Colorado is different it's at least Sunny there. Grew up in Michigan and that whole great lakes area is like Seattle if it was zero degrees. Sometimes snow, sometimes just mush but always cloudy and dreary.

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

Seabrook isn't going to play a game for us and isn't going to count against the cap. What about the 1sts?

If you are going to go down this path then you have to include cot of living, i.e. real estate, price of a gallon milk, commute time, etc. OK mostly real estate.

This contract doesn't start until 22-23 season.

And that contracts are paid in USD not CAD

 

[Pengu]

That's how you do it. 8 years....

 

[dredeye]

Jesus that’s a lot

 

[WarriorofTime]

We're still doing the whole "taxes" thing? Cool.

Taxes are one factor in about 1,000 that determine where a player may want to play and locate. California has a massive state income tax at the top rate and NBA players can't trip over themselves quick enough to play in LA. Somehow they manage to make it work because they have other considerations involved beyond just their tax bill.

 

[DudeWhereIsMakar]

Good contract, well earned and deserved.

 

[CarolinaBlueJacket]

Right!! Nobody takes CAD any more.

 

[Mersss]

Doesn't increase your cap space come Deadline time or during the sunmer tho!

So yah, you're still stuck with a shitty contract, opens ip cap space only at the beginning of the year. Gettinf UFA and stuff is not going to get easier

 

[I Hate Blake Coleman]

Well deserved. Tampa's management of the cap has been masterful.

 

[Hedmonster Bolt]

Stamkos will be traded next year, I gotta think.

While some of us would be OK with that I doubt it since he has a NT or NMC.

 

[ThunderRoad]

Tampa was going to have to move 2 of the approximate $5M forwards. Seattle must have been asking for too much in a side deal to counter projected return on a trade of Gourde, Killorn, or Palat - they were going to have to move one of them anyway (in addition to Johnson) and I suppose might still move Killorn or Palat at some point. And by Seattle taking Gourde, the full NTC did not need to be worked around. It sucks to lose any of these guys that were developed by Tampa and these being players that didn't want to go anywhere.

Glad to have Point locked up, he's vital to the team. These long term deals are always nerve-wracking though. 8 years is a long time in a sports context.

You're being overly charitable. There were a couple posters, Merss being one of the primaries, that would tell anyone that would listen in TJ-related threads that we were going to have to pay 2 1sts to move his contract. It certainly wasn't everyone on the trade board, but there were a couple that were really invested in seeing us suffer--one even liked to call some of our posters "Polly Anna" if we thought we were going to move Johnson for less than two 1sts.

[Stuzchuk]

yup, 10M USD = 12.5M CAD at the moment

 

[DFC]

Jesus that’s a lot

And worth every penny. This guy is still underrated somehow, despite being about the most clutch player in the game today.
