Wing Posted July 1 Share Posted July 1 (edited) So much for JG worrying about their aging core. Now we can all finally move on. If the AAV isn't significantly higher than the 8x8 deal offered by Carolina, you can't tell me tax isn't a factor. Edited July 1 by Wing 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

RWJC Posted July 1 Author Share Posted July 1 (edited) Tampa Bay Lightning Reportedly Reach Contract Agreement With Jake Guentzel June 30th, 2024 at 7:32pm CST • By Brennan McClain According to Frank Seravalli of Daily Faceoff, the Tampa Bay Lightning have agreed to terms on a contract with pending UFA forward Jake Guentzel. The deal’s financial terms were not disclosed and may take until tomorrow to fully develop. The news comes a few hours after the Lightning acquired Guentzel’s rights from the Carolina Hurricanes in exchange for a third-round pick in the 2025 NHL Draft. The reported deal will likely check in at an eight-year term with the Lightning owning enough cap space to give Guentzel nearly $10MM annually. Because the team acquired Guentzel’s signing rights earlier today, Tampa Bay became the only team able to sign Guentzel to an eight-year contract. If Guentzel made it to free agency tomorrow, the Lightning would have only been able to offer him a max of seven years — the same as all other suitors. After being acquired by the Hurricanes at the trade deadline from the Pittsburgh Penguins, Guentzel proved beyond the shadow of a doubt that he could thrive without playing next to Sidney Crosby. However, by inking a contract with the Lightning, Guentzel may arguably have better linemates. The team will likely start him next to Nikita Kucherov and Brayden Point on the top line, with the former finishing up a season in which he led the league in assists and points. Guentzel will land in Tampa Bay having already played 520 regular season games at the NHL level while scoring 227 goals and 491 points through eight years. Largely known for his postseason contributions; Guentzel is a one-time winner of the Stanley Cup as he’s scored 38 goals and 67 points in 69 career games in the playoffs. After being knocked out in the first round of back-to-back postseasons, the Lightning will surely be looking for Guentzel to help turn around the team’s most recent fortunes. Depending on the financial terms of the agreement, the contract between Guentzel and the Lightning organization may have some collateral damage. With longtime captain Steven Stamkos hitting the free agent market tomorrow, Tampa Bay may not have the cap flexibility to re-sign him after all. https://www.prohockeyrumors.com/2024/06/tampa-bay-lightning-reportedly-reach-contract-agreement-with-jake-guentzel.html#ref=home Edited July 1 by RWJC Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

VegasCanuck Posted July 1 Share Posted July 1 I'm waiting till it's not just "speculation" Also, as someone correctly pointed out the other day, just acquiring his rights does not allow Tampa to do 8 years, he would have needed to be on their reserve list at the deadline. 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
