Beary Sweet Posted October 11, 2016 Share Posted October 11, 2016 It's a steal for Tampa. They get to retain a player who is a playoff performer and comes up big when needed most. Smooth negotiations between both parties. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

How many of our Canuck's dollars get sent the Lightening way, so they can sign these guys? It's kind of frustrating, isn't it, supporting these teams so they can be better than we are???

Tampa Bay has a great chance to win the Cup within the next 3-5 years so he took a major discount to do so. Yeah but Tampa is not Vancouver we don't want other stars sacrificing pay to win the Cup.

TheRussianRocket. Posted October 11, 2016 Share Posted October 11, 2016 Htf does Yzerman keep doing this. Totally unfair. ...got the rest of the league and teams like Vancouver paying players like Sutter $4.5M and then Houdini here just does his magic and gets Kuch for $4.75M when he's worth $6.5M+ on the open market. Man.... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
peaches5 Posted October 11, 2016 Share Posted October 11, 2016 This is a benefit of Tampa having tax breaks. It works out to basically 6-7 mil on any other team. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Anyhow, that's a shocker - he really took one for the team, obviously wants to win. He'll certainly have some leverage in three years if he elects to use it. Every player is looking to get paid. The "Russian" talk is gettin old...Lot of players have and will hold out. Remember the good ol Canadian kid Doughty?? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
