So Mark Stone signed with Vegas, 8 years and 9,5 million. Point is sure gonna have a nice payday soon, even with the lower taxes in Florida. Pray for discount

I don't think you do any research at all.So Mark Stone signed with Vegas, 8 years and 9,5 million. Point is sure gonna have a nice payday soon, even with the lower taxes in Florida. Pray for discount

Well, the taxation in Florida is all I hear people raging in the main boards so I presumed that in Florida it is the lowest. Nonetheless, that doesnt take away the fact that Stones deal makes terrible precedent for Points upcoming deal.
There is no "precedents" outside of TB. Only been the players here taking a little less to make the team better. It shouldnt surpise anybody if he follows what his teammates before him did.
Stone went to a new team and they overpaid him to skip UFA when this summer he could have signed with any nhl team big difference. Stone had all the leverage to get a great contract from Vegas.Well, the taxation in Florida is all I hear people raging in the main boards so I presumed that in Florida it is the lowest.

Edit. And yes, Stone was pending UFA. But Point is better player by miles, and a center. If Points agent wants to use Stone's deal as a measuring stick, he sure can.
4 years left of RFA yearsDoesn't Point have 4 or 5 years of team control left after this season? Bolts have leveraged that every time negotiations come up, I expect that trend continues with Point and we don't hand him a blank check
Look he’s having a great year. He’s a fantastic player. But his 5v5 production has slipped lately amd he’s not driving play quite the same.
I wonder if he’s 100% healthy?
An easier target to reach, Point only needs 2 more goals to hit 40. He can join some good company as St. Louis, Lecavalier, Stammer, Kuch, and Bradley are the only bolts to reach that plateau.
Career high season with 41 goals and 92 points in 79 games. 9 more goals and 17 more assists for 26 more points than his 2nd best season.
Finished 1st in the NHL with 20 PP goals (1 more than Stamkos), tied-6th in goals scored, 13th in points and tied 28th in assists.
He had only 5 points in his last 9 regular season games and was a healthy scratch in the last game of the season.
1 goal and 0 assists in 4 playoff games.
How will this season impact his asking price and contract negotiations ?
