Listen to “What's the "Point"…of keeping Brayden Point? New Solar Bears and Ovi's Chase!” on Spreaker.

Brayden Point is still without contract – even as the Tampa Bay Lightning start their training camp. Is it time to think about…life with out him? Trade? Offer Sheet?

The RFA’s are starting to sign, led by Mitch Marner in Toronto. But…$40m+ on 4 players…is it a smart move?!

The Great 2019 NHL Offseason RFA Dilemma!

Listen to “The Great 2019 NHL Offseason RFA Dilemma!” on Spreaker.

Have we talked about the RFA’s in the NHL all summer long? Yes, too much, probably.

However, the fact remains: Brayden Point, Mitch Marner, Patrik Laine and Mikko Rantanen are only a few of several without contract, just weeks out of Training Camp. Are these guys worth the money they want? Where does the skill tier break up amongst these players?

Another core player is returning to the Solar Bears this season, and (we’ll attempt) the fan-favorite “Nick’s Rink Report”.
