Confirmed Signing with Link: [TBL] F Jake Guentzel signs extension with the Lightning (7 years, $9M AAV)

[Regal]

Weird... Tampa didnt want to pay Stamkos in his mid 30s but are gonna ponie up for Gentzel?????

Why is it weird? Guentzel is younger and better

 

[OurlordAndSaviorKuch]

That’s an old core to be joining but I guess it’s a retirement contract anyways. Was convinced he was coming to Vancouver but I’m not even upset the slightest.

Good luck in Tampa and I hope my Canucks add overall depth instead of a big fish.

How is this an old core?

One is 28 the other 34?

Jake will be 30 when next season starts. So pretty far off there.

Stamkos is like 3.5 years older not 6

Not necessarily

So if we’re going to argue for cap restructuring to account for tax differences, should be adjusting the cap also to allow for currency exchange, opportunities for advertisement deals, cost of living, etc? Such a dumb argument.

Yes, also weather

The latest theory is TB made the trade to get cost certainty on Guentzel, so we can make one last pitch to Stamkos. Seems like Guentzel was top priority, so JBB wanted to keep as much money free as possible.

Don't forget about the Tavares tax. Any team that is a childhood destination for a hockey player gets additional cap penalties.

I still think Stamkos will stay.

Depending on what the deal is I still might call him an idiot. I did after Sergachev's extention and Jeannotss trade after all.

What team are you a fan of?

I think Vinik would shoot him into space if he missed both.

Tampa does have some infamous mafia hitman from the Trafficante family and some other famous mafia members.

Now that Pens take on shitty contracts for futures...give us your crap with added picks for future considerations so you can also keep Stamkos.

Do you miss Sheary at all?

No but it's what we are doing now, so give him to us and a good pick or prospect (like we did with the Blues for Hayes).

Great offseason for TB so far barring 10m + for JG. I bet it's 9 or less. Wonder what else they do

 

[PromisedLand]

come on 11AAV+

 

[olli]

come on 11AAV+

Nobody is making more than Kuch, Vasi or Point (all of them make 9.5)

 

[Dr Jan Itor]

Canada just needs to rev up their endorsement game.

 

[dirtydanglez]

brisebois is a top teir gm. whatever his team needs he goes out and gets it.

 

[Michoulicious]

He'll sign with Tampa for less than what Carolina finally offered (8x8) after weeks of low balling him.

It will be his way to say **** you Dundon.

HOW f***ING DARE YOU BRING LOGIC INTO THIS CONVERSATION! Don't you use the calculator and know about the 14%? Don't you know like 7 people talked about how unfair this is in the last 22 years? How dare you actually have a grain of logic and understanding, and not just blindly use confirmation bias and homerism to realize how EVIL and UNFAIR taxes are to the League and players! Get of here

 

[Sergei Shirokov]

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.

Well that but also apparently Guentzel was hoping to come here at the TDL.

Wouldve been a great fit here imo, young team with a good window to win, but Tampa is obviously a great team that can win too & if theyre going to 10M AAV I don't think we could've gotten there. Nvm the tax difference.

 

[Aqualung]

Wow, almost like that's literally not what I said.

Canucks fans are just coping that their Guentzel fantasies didn't end up reality.

You ok?

 

[kanucks25]

7Y x 9M is my guess.
