Confirmed Trade: [TBL/CAR] Jake Guentzel for 2025 3rd round pick

[Big Daddy Cane]

So the Canes are losing Guentzel, Necas, Pesce, TT, and Skjei so they can * checks notes * resign Seth Jarvis? What a disaster of an off season for a former cup contender.

They have upwards of $28 mil to spend and they will. Other players are coming in. Tomorrow will be interesting.

Good luck on Tampa Jake. He will be dope with Kucherov.

 

[PatchesOhoulihan]

Stammer to the cats

Goes ham against the bolts in the first rd next season and sends them golfing

 

[Five Alarm Fire]

How do you fix it? If you allow for tax related variability in AAV, do you then have to allow for COL variability as well? Cost of insurance? Other fixed costs beyond player or league control?

Agreed. The cap is supposed to balance the share of pre-tax revenue between the owners and players. How that revenue gets taxed is extraneous. The disadvantage is shared across all industries.

If you try to share revenue evenly on an after-tax basis the calculation gets extremely complicated.

 

[a mangy Meowth]

Agreed, my point is that $7M in Tampa is the same as $8.5M in NY or LA.

Let's wait and see but I can already promise you if he signs in Florida it'll be an egregious number

Lol, thanks for letting us all know that you have zero understanding of how taxes work

 

[MikeFolignosHelmet]

Probably the last rental you will see Carolina pick up for a while.

Gave up Bunting, Koivunen, Lucius, Ponomarev and picks to the Pens. Ended up with a 2nd round playoff exit and a 3rd round draft pick. <shrug>

Its just the age thing with Guentzel vs Stamkos?

Well, that is how taxes work for the normal person.

Well, that is how taxes work for the normal person.

State taxes are NEVER going to be 18% of your salary (1.5m out of 8.5 in the quote) no matter what state you live in, so no lol. For many states it's like 5% or less....

Federal taxes, which every state pays, are typically more than 75% of the total taxes you pay. This is really simple stuff.

You people literally just post whatever and act like you can't possibly be wrong.

Ah, July 1st it is very possible.

Except it's not. Nobody can offer him an 8 year deal now.

 

[Aoko]

Whoever is picked with that 2025 3rd is so gonna burn the Lightning in 2031…

Whatever makes you feel better.

Doing this to Stammer is gonna burn the Lightning much sooner than that.

Guentzel is a much better 5v5 player at this point and their PP is going to be elite regardless with Kuch, Point and Hedman still

 

[Mick Riddleton]

Ullmark trade just got bumped by this disaster

Is Skjei definitely gone? Feels like he’d be worth keeping at this point

 

[Ducati Boy]

Not a fan of this trade. JG now has a 24 hour gun to the head of the Bolts, knowing that he can name his price and if Tampa doesn’t meet it, they will look like idiots- idiots without a third rounder next draft.

 

[HoseEmDown]

3rd seems really steep this late in the game. Should have happened a week ago or been a 5th round pick.

 

[Enniskillen]

Great trades for Tampa, bad news for divisional rivals. Getting rid of one leg corpse of buccaneer Sergachev is addition by subtraction, plus getting stud D and awesome prospect. Then adding smart forward Guentzel and not resigning aging stammer, that’s a master class, summer of pierre is overshadowed by brisebois mordor like brilliant brutal tactics.

 

[Ugene Magic]

Except it's not. Nobody can offer him an 8 year deal now.

I glanced over that part.

 

[CanadienShark]

I think the negotiating was done before the trade, and we may find out soon that so was the signing. Hence the price.

That's fair. I figure it's a steep price if you only have 24 hours to negotiate. And it's not like Tampa can give him 8 years either.

Someone make the meme of the girlfriend/boyfriend with Guentzel and Stamkos

9.25 per season, no taxes? Sounds about right and good for him.

Do you think people in Florida just don't have to pay any taxes at all?

I just assumed that's the only reason people live in that cesspool.

We really don’t. *Sound of Freedom*
