It's a 3 year bridge deal. If this were a 6-7 year deal the $$ would've been substantially higher.
Honestly ... I'm a Leaf fan ... and there's zero chance Point end's up with Marner type money over the next 6 years:
Mitch Marner
6 Year AAV = $10,890,000
Brayden Point
Year 1 (Contract 1) = $6,750,000
Year 2 (Contract 1) = $6,750,000
Year 3 (Contract 1) = $6,750,000
Year 4 (Contract 2) = $15,030,000
Year 5 (Contract 2) = $15,030,000
Year 6 (Contract 2) = $15,030,000
6 Year AAV = $10,890,000
If Tampa can keep Point's next cap-hit under $15,030,000 and his term over 2 years ... they'll come out laughing.
And if I had to guess ... I'd guess that Point's next contract will look very similar to Marner's current contract.
