Perfect deal for both sides! I used McAvoy as a comparable in my predictions, pretty spot on.

I been saying they’re gonna make everyone scratch their heads with great moves. Great management, and scouting. Plus now the teams buying in - they’re tryna be a modern dynasty which is even crazier considering we got COVID cap.

Great deal, but now it's gonna be interesting how they fit it all under the cap.

Great signing, would've gotten more if Covid hadn't hit or if Tampa wasn't in cap hell since they are now over the cap

So much for taking a discount to keep the team together and all the other bull**** people peddle on this site about Tampa and contracts. No tax and player buy in really helping them get essentially the same aav contract to two other Dmen with better contract influences (TOI and production being the #1 and #2 things that affect contract value in Dmen) as well as a high 3rd year for a QA all in a pandemic affected market.

Its a fine contract and like all young stars he's likely plays to it and outperforms it but this is at best market rate, and certainly the low end of it considering comparables.

no he couldn't have. He got Deangelo's deal. It's fair value, no home team discount or whatever here.

I am shocked they didn't wait on this till mid season. Getting guys on QO and then doing the old signing bonus extension would have been much easier to do knowing that cap was going to open up next year.
They would have had a little higher AVA on those years, but it would be worth it.
Now they are painting themselves into a corner.

Fair contract. So now Tampa is about $2 million over the cap. If they trade Killorn they can sign Cernak, and after that either Cirelli or one of the full NTC players would need to be traded.

No way 5.5m gets you 6 years of Sergachev....

Provorov and Morrissey are the closest comparables. 6.25-6.75 AAV

This is a great deal for the Lightning as they couldn't afford a long term deal

If they didn't think that they could deal their guys, they wouldn't have signed Sergachev, I don't think. It makes me wonder who they have lined up something with?

yeah this is the thing it really comes down too, and at what cost?
If they pushed it back, you look at Seattle taking a guy and it opens up room, you then move a guy like Palat on the final year of his deal, probably not that expensive. right?

But now they got to move a guy with term.
I would think McDonagh is the guy they want to move. But that's a big cap hit. Maybe they take some back to avoid retaining.

Literally the perfect opportunity for a team to offer sheet Cirelli. COVID cap + GM's being boring won't let it happen though sadly.

Defensemen get paid for points, not for, you know, actual defensive ability. So this seems fair.

Well i think Tampa only signed him since they have a way to get back under the cap but easy ways to get under the cap would be to trade Coburn, Paquette, Killorn, Johnson
