That state tax though. Guentzel on Tampa looks good but letting Stamkos and Sergachev go I think they're worse.

We brought McDonagh back for a reason. The team had given up on Sergachev's defense developing. He is primarily an offensive defenseman, but he can't really be in that role in TB (at least not to the tune of 8.5) with hedman in front of him. We are a better team spending that money elsewhere.That state tax though. Guentzel on Tampa looks good but letting Stamkos and Sergachev go I think they're worse.
Tampa better hope mcdonagh is still good for the next year or two because losing sergachev to sign a winger that would be barely better than Stamkos over the next few years is risky as hell.
The PP would have to be restructured. My guess is we would go back to something like we had when Drouin was here. Not dependant so much on the one timer as it was about all around deception. It was lethal.Stamkos was pretty bad 5v5 last year. Guentzel is significantly better there and they likely won’t lose that much from their PP with Kucherov, Point, and Hedman still around. I think Guentzel is a pretty big add
There is a report out there saying 9 or 9.25My bet is 9mil x 7 years. Hard to imagine he gets more than Kucherov or Point.
That range would indeed make sense. I quess it's more interesting to see how many years he gets. Probably max allowed.There is a report out there saying 9 or 9.25
Yeah, Lebrun reported 7 years right away. We've been waiting on the dollars. 9ish makes sense. A little more than we, TB fans, are comfortable with, but that's how UFA works.That range would indeed make sense. I quess it's more interesting to see how many years he gets. Probably max allowed.
At 9.25 I think it goes from being a bargain to being market value. Not really getting a discount. That said considering the absurd contracts handed out in free agency it's still a pretty fair deal.Yeah, Lebrun reported 7 years right away. We've been waiting on the dollars. 9ish makes sense.

Right. I mean, we knew it was over 8. Our best hope was 8.5, IMO, so we can stomach this.At 9.25 I think it goes from being a bargain to being market value. Not really getting a discount. That said considering the absurd contracts handed out in free agency it's still a pretty fair deal.
I figure 9 aav because that’s 63 million canes offered him 64 million but with no state taxes in Florida he got more moneyAt 9.25 I think it goes from being a bargain to being market value.

Never gonna happen.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
So much for the "Florida gets it easy with the tax" then. It's basically what Carolina offered with the 8x8.Bob McKenzie saying roughly 7x9M

Guentzel is lightyears better at even strength, I love Stamkos but he is basically an elite PP tool at this time - lots of arguments could be made as to why, moving him to wing, etc... but swapping Stamkos with Guentzel is a net positive.Stamkos was pretty bad 5v5 last year.

You guys just wanna rename this the "taxes aren't fair" thread or what? Edmonton of all teams just nearly won the Cup. Chill the hell out. This isn't the difference you think it is. Jake is signing with Tampa because we made him priority even over our own first ballot HHOF captain, paid a 3rd and showed we are serious. Oh yeah, possibly winning a Cup helps too. But don't let that stop you from noticing all the other tax burdened teams making their signings today too.
