tas Posted July 1 Share Posted July 1 3 minutes ago, RWJC said: 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. whoever wrote this baseless nonsense doesn't even know the rules. tampa can't give him more than 7 years. 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The only team that could offer 8 was Carolina so it would have had to be a sign and trade for him to get 8. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Wing Posted July 1 Share Posted July 1 I want Guentzel too, but definitely not 10M. I'm glad TB spent that pick and took him off the market today so PA doesn't have to waste his time tomorrow and focus on other free agents. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
fanfor42 Posted July 1 Share Posted July 1 Time to go back to Zadorov and sweeten the pot. We are down to B and C options for forwards and so let's not lose the guy who brought swagger back to the team! No Guentzel means we have cap room to increase the offer to Zadorov. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Nucker67 Posted July 1 Share Posted July 1 What the heck Tampa. Giving $10 to a soon to be 30-year old for the next 8 years? They wanted him so bad they blindly paid him way too much. If that was the asking price, then I'm glad Allvin held his ground. Curious who's next on his list. Can't really see Lindholm or Zadorov coming back. Desperately need quality wingers for the $11.6 man. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Lebrun had to correct his tweet with Tanev saying they could offer max term which they couldn’t. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

My understanding is that the only team who can offer 8 years is the team who has him on the roster when the tdl passes, that's Carolina. And then, that team can only offer 8 years until the end of the day on June 30. After that, they can only offer 7, just like everyone else 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
