from Steve Simmons of the Toronto Sun,
- (Brayden) Point’s annual average salary is now $6.75 million a season. Nylander’s AAV comes in at 6.92. Nylander was paid $10 million up front when he signed with the Leafs, more than $2 million more than Point’s initial bonus.
In the three years of the deal, Point will make $20.25 million. In Nylander’s first three years, with three to go, he’ll be paid $27 million. In Marner’s first three years of his deal, he’ll be taking in $41.3 million. For Point to come anywhere close to Marner in years 4-5-6 of the deal, his next contract would have to pay him $14 million or more per season.
Two thoughts on this: Point is significantly underpaid, even when considering the difference in taxes between Florida and Ontario. Considering the market, the Leafs significantly overpaid for both Nylander and Marner.
