Gotta think the number will be higher...even at7m Tampa has room. It's next year with all those RFA signings and Vasilesky already has 6m raise, that is the challenge. And no all those M NTCs, NMCs can't be wished away.

But in other hand how can point earns more than kucherov and stamkos! I mean if the leafs and buffalo was so stupid and offer gigantic contract to players like eichel and
Matthews, marner that there’s problem. Tampa bay can start the year without point. They have enough depth. Tampa ad a history of signing players to bridge deal.

Because the cap is higher now than it was when Stamkos signed, not to mention he probably genuinely loves Tampa enough to have taken that discount. When looking for comparables, players don't look at pure money unless the deal was signed in the last year or two (Stamkos was 3 offseasons ago). Point is going to earn more than Kucherov and Stamkos because the cap is higher for him, plus he has newfound comparables (Matthews and Marner) to help drive his price up.

This fake news .. Aho is floor and Point above Aho ... now they could do a 6M 7M 8M 3 year contract and Point gets 9M plus in year 4 but would then go North of 12M LT thereafter .. Tampa should be like Flyers and Jets in their signings yesterday .. 8 by 10M
