I'd already largely moved on from Paul anyway after these playoffs. Almost no chance we were getting him after his showing, and certainly not on a reasonable contract I'd LOVE if management can wrangle Roy out of Vegas though. PERFECT fit.

The guy can drive play and has skill. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
KirkSave Posted July 1, 2022 Share Posted July 1, 2022 Very good contract for Paul considering he was often a healthy scratch in Ottawa. Guy just needed a fresh start and had an impressive showing in TB's Stanley Cup run. Next priority is for TB to try and re-sign Palat. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

kloubek Posted July 1, 2022 Share Posted July 1, 2022 He had an amazing year for Tampa, no doubt. If he continues to play like he has, 3m is a steal. But it's a small sample size. Previous to that, played more like a 3rd or 4th liner. I should also point out that Pearson (who CDC seems to like to include in trade proposals) at a similar AAV with a similar kind of game gets far more ppg than Paul. Of course, ice time probably has some to do with it.... 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
HKSR Posted July 1, 2022 Share Posted July 1, 2022 He has clearly found his home in TBL. Just hitting his prime, this deal could look like an absolute bargain over the next 4 or 5 years. No doubt he's a helluva playoff performer too. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I don't think there will be much of a trade market for him unless he is willing to go to a bottom feeder who needs to hit the cap floor... Tampa will have to add draft pick and prospect and there will be some teams listening maybe even retain 1 million 5.7million X 4 yrs 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DownUndaCanuck Posted July 1, 2022 Share Posted July 1, 2022 Looks like it's a 7 year deal with an average of 3.15M. What a steal. He was basically a 3rd line, big strong physical center who scored at a 20 goal, 50+ point pace but ended up playing big minutes in the playoffs for Tampa. This will surely help the Canucks with negotiations for a 3C. Copp will surely be out of the question, you could argue he played like a top 6 forward recently. The other tier of guys including Tierney, Janmark, Rask and Jarnkrok are surely no better than Paul. We might be able to nab one for 2.5M. I really hope we don't try and find someone who has been a 4th liner and hope they can improve their play again the way we did with Dickinson - my main worry is that the Canucks will look for the cheap option in Lazar and try to play him at 3C because we'll get burned. You have to invest in you centers so I hope management are willing to spend 3M on a 3C, and this Paul deal makes it very possible. Paul looked good in Ottawa and great after he moved, I bet Tierney would be the same. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He's a 30ish point guy........I don't mind the salary, but 7 years? 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Any team that likes him and is looking to win now and doesn't care what his cap hit is in 5+ years. See: Nick Paul SEVEN YEAR extension.

He was long at the top of my list of guys we should sign this summer before he broke out on Tampa. But these guys usually get 3, maybe 4 year terms, not 7.

Paul looked good in Ottawa and great after he moved, I bet Tierney would be the same. I think Copp 27. 6'2, 210lbs can be a second line centre so his value will be higher then Paul or Tierney..Copp was behind Scheifele and Wheeler so never got the ice time to put up numbers with Jets.. Copp plays C/W playing second line 22 G -- 55-65 points.. Copp will get 5 yr X 5.5 million range.. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
