Thread: Question
<div class="quote"><div class="quote_t">Quoting: <b>exo2769</b></div><div>Let me answer the questions a different way. He won't be a Bolt...so 8 years $9.5M</div></div>

Why? Like Tampa won’t match a 9.5 million offersheet. They easily can do it. They’re honestly not as tied in the cap market as some people think. Ship out Miller/Gourde and Callahan and they’ll have a ton of space. Cernak can replace Stralman, Sergachev can play on the opposite site too if necessary. Foote will be ready, and they have a wealth of prospects to replace Miller or Gourde. I’m saying this to prove that Point will stay because A, Tampa is the best team on the planet by a mile, B, they have the cap space to match almost any offersheet, and C, honestly if it gets too high, take the 4 first rounders and shoot for Panarin. My prediction — 6/7x9-9.5

Thread: Draft Day Splash
<div class="quote"><div class="quote_t">Quoting: <b>MelonVK</b></div><div>So the package at hand doesn't really make sense, but when people are arguing "Colorado can't trade that pick, Hughes could be the next Matthews" in general I think they are wrong. First off the chances of that pick becoming the #1 is still small, even if Ottawa finishes in last place. Then secondly is back to my old point about not assuming development in prospects. If they could've gotten Mark Stone for that pick I'd rather have taken that, cause you get something you know is great, and something that lines up with the ages and contracts currently on your team. That would give you a chance to win from this season until MacKinnon's contract is up basically. But people love the mystery box. Also there's some idea of zero-risk bias in keeping your picks and prospects that teams seem to suffer from, in regards to trading away assets currently on your team. Not trading that pick is as much of a risk as trading that pick is.</div></div>

it doesnt have to be Hughes. Kakko, the WHL Cs or the Russian RWer. I think regardless of who they get in the top 5, they are more than happy. Its a pretty loaded draft this year, deeper than last year in the Top 10. Avs are already big winners from the Duchene trade, whatever the Ott pick turns into. 1st or 4th overall, its just a cherry on top of a cherry on their already trade sundae.

Send would never have gotten their own pick back in a Stone deal. They had 0 leverage in any deal with the Avs.

<div class="quote"><div class="quote_t">Quoting: <b>MelonVK</b></div><div>Well it was the same ppg pace in 3 more games, and being very good at 16 does not equal being good at 20. I still think he will be good, and he could very well be better than Matthews long term for all I know, the issue for me is just assuming a linear developmental curve. There are no guarantees.</div></div>

the point is that he has bee labeled as an elite talent for quite some time. Is he the next Patrick Kane? Matthews or Eichel? He could be or he could be a Nico hischier. Right now the pedigree is saying he will be up wit the rest of the top American players but yes they are prospects and no guarantees. But when a draft class is headlined by the same 15-16 year old as one you want keep your draft pick for. Might be a very special talent when its all over

Thread: Tampa a winner with Stone extension AAV
<div class="quote"><div class="quote_t">Quoting: <b>KUUUCH</b></div><div>Highly doubt there will be an offer sheet lol, history would disagree with the likely-hood of that happening. I still think point will get a bolts bridge deal, just like johnson and palat at 10m over 3 years, just like kuch at 14.3m over 3 years... 5-6m per year @ 3 years or so would be ideal. But who knows, time will tell. I just can't see Point dipping on the bolts. If we don't win the cup this year, maybe he'll look elsewhere but he's had nothing but success this far in his career and Tampa has no intentions of low-balling Pointer this off season. They'll dump less important contracts to make room, would probs buy out someone too if it came to that. Can only hope that Tampa makes Point a priority lol.</div></div>

Brisebois said earlier this year that re-signing Point will be his top priority this summer. Point himself has said he’d be open to either one, bridge or long-term.

And yeah I doubt anyone offer sheets him.
