Florida can pull this off because Barkov is not earning crazy money and because Zito is not Tallon.Only Florida with their tax system can pull this one off.
This is a steal in comparison to the Nylander overpayment 11.5 deal. Fits the Florida cap structure and team friendly deal allow Florida room to add support players. Florida fans will love Sam for this.
Meanwhile in TO, today is the day their Core 4 wake up with the massive payday bonus in their accounts...In the meanwhile, Matthews makes how much?
Crazy cheap.
they should trade Marner and Tavares. Nylander has been the only Leafs player in the past two seasons who shows up in the playoffs.
It’s a pretty great deal…which was to be expected, given it’s the Cup champs and it’s in Florida.
I expect some heavy regression from his overall goal totals - but “heavy” from 57 goals is still a 40 goal scorer. Who is an elite special teams player. With a rising cap.
Dude made an extra 20 million by having a year that will never be replicated ever again by him. Good for Reinhart. He signs before this year, he gets a 7 x 7 deal. I think people forget that Reinhart is going to be 30 in Nov. The 8th year is a big deal.
Barkov 10M
Tkachuk 9.5
Reinhart 8.62
This is what happens when your core best players sign team friendly deals, this will allow Florida a chance to repeat next year when you fill in the roster with quality support.
