Word started to filter out this morning that the Tampa Bay Lightning were getting close to a deal with Restricted Free Agent (RFA) Brayden Point. It’s been a long summer made even longer by the drawn-out negotiations we’ve seen with not just Point, but with almost every other big RFA. But it’s all over as he has signed a three-year bridge deal with a cap hit of $6.75 million.
Lightning have re-signed Brayden Point to a three-year deal paying $6.75 M AAV. The Lightning came up more than a million a year from their last offer.
