The Tampa Bay Lightning and Brayden point were already reported to be far apart on the numbers, but the chasm may be too big to cross at this point.
According to TSN's Pierre LeBrun, The Bolts are attempting to offer a bridge deal for 3 years, with a pitiful $5.7 million AAV. This for a 92 point player from last year. Bridge deals are intended for a bigger payout down the line, perhaps with an improved CBA, but this could seem rather insulting.
