TAMPA — We can pull back on the Brayden Point alarm.
With each announcement of a minor-league signing, fans’ responses on Twitter were about the same. “Sign Point please” when the team re-signed Domink Masin. “What’s the Point?” to Ben Thomas’ new contract.
One Twitter user @bustdstuff changed her Twitter handle to @JustSignBraydenPointAlready.
Not having Brayden Point under contract in July is not a crisis for the Lightning. If he’s not under contract in October, there is a problem.
But every indication points to Tampa Bay and Point coming to terms.
“I expect to be back,” he said at the end of the season.
