Lame

 

[Tact]

Nooooo

 

[HabsWhiteKnightLOL]

Better than signing Stamkos 5 years ngl

 

[Leafshater67]

It’s so ruthless how they replaced Stamkos but also makes sense. I imagine it’s around 9m. We will see

 

[Three On Zero]

Get that money, Guentzel

 

[Kryten]

Hes going to get so sunburnt

 

[BenningHurtsMySoul]

Here's to a tax based Salary Cap in the new CBA. This is almost as big of an advantage as Vegas playing the Mark Stone Injury Roulette every year

 

[BB88]

Well Cup isn’t his priority but good for him I guess

[TheStatican]

Hope it's 9+

 

[Turin]

He'll fit their system nicely, could help them win a real Cup.

 

[Just A Bit Outside]

Pretty obvious once Tbay opened up space and traded for his rights.

Very nice couple of days for Tbay.

Potential 300 point line next year with Point and Kucherov

Not going to happen, and taxes have jack shit to do with it. This is a myth, that has been refuted numerous times by different agents and actual accountants.

Only people still moaning about taxes are Canadian fans and media, who can't get over the fact that there are more attractive places to play hockey than Canada.

Will try to catch more Tampa games then. Guentzel will always be one of my favorite players. A Guentzel Point Kucherov line would be ridiculous. Glad he's getting his big pay day, he's been underpaid pretty much his whole career.

The arrogance Canucks fans had when they were just assuming that Guentzel loved JR so much that he'd snub every other team to sign there is hilarious to me.

They gonna need one, i mean the salary cap was brought in to level the playing field to begin with kinda ironic tbh lol

That’s a 1 Point line?

Singing guentzel until he’s 37, I dunno dudes, blessing in disguise. Seemed desperate to me, I was skeptical he would have agreed to Alvin’s offer regardless.

I think the fan attention and pressure has more to do with it than the tax advantages. The agents do a pretty good job of hiding that money.

I say he goes $8.7 per in honour of his good buddy Sid.

It'll be for age 30-36. And he's a really smart player that doesn't rely on speed or strength. It'll be fine, he's going to age very well.

Nobody talked about the tax advantage with the Florida Panthers when they sucked for almost 20 years straight and didn't find free agents any easier than Minnesota f***ing Wild.

Tampa is still a pretty good team with top players. They have nice weather. You are not crowded by the media, or chased down by the fans on the streets. I wonder why players like it?
