TSN: Pierre LeBrun said Tampa Bay Lightning center Brayden Point is another player coming out of his entry-level deal that could be looking for a big deal.
“I’m told his agent Gerry Johansson met GM Julien BriseBois of the Lightning this week and essentially they said ‘listen, let’s shelve these discussions until after the season, let’s let him focus on hockey, it’s a big year again for the Lightning. But make no mistake, this is a very important contract when it happens for Tampa Bay. And yet again because they draft so well and have so many good players, it’s going to be salary cap gymnastics for that organization when it’s time to re-sign him.
