Brayden Point Is A Real Bargain

from Nick Kelly of the Tampa Bay Times,

One of these things is not like the others.

Take a look at the NHL’s top goal scorers and their annual average salary, according to capfriendly.com. One of these contracts doesn’t belong:

Alex Ovechkin ($10 million)

Brayden Point ($919,167)

John Tavares ($11 million)

Jeff Skinner ($5.725 million)

Johnny Gaudreau ($6,75 million)

Connor McDavid ($12.5 million)

Patrick Kane ($10.5 million)

Gabriel Landeskog ($5.57 million)

Can you tell which contract is not like the others by the time ... Okay, you get the point.

If you haven’t figured it out by now, there’s your answer — Point. His contract is missing the word million. That’s not a typo. Point, 22, doesn’t make that much. He is still playing on his entry-level contract.

It makes him, one of the NHL’s best scorers, also one of its best bargains.
