Nick Paul

The Lightning have agreed to terms on a seven-year contract extension with forward Nick Paul.

Paul had been believed to be seeking a multi-year deal with an AAV around the $3MM mark while with Ottawa, a price they clearly didn’t want to pay which resulted in him being sent to Tampa Bay for Mathieu Joseph and a 2024 fourth-round pick. His production dropped to just five goals and four helpers in their 23 postseason matches but he took 382 draws in what was largely a checking role while his playing time jumped to over 18 minutes a night in the process. Nick Paul made a very good impression on the Lightning after being acquired from Ottawa at the trade deadline.

He spent time on the second line, was a staple on coach Jon Cooper's penalty-kill unit and upgraded his on-ice time to 18:18. The Lightning, as has become a custom the past three seasons, refined their roster in time for the postseason, and in 2022, that meant the addition of Paul from the Ottawa Senators in March. While quickly fitting in with a championship-caliber team, Paul posted five goals and 14 points in 21 games to end the regular season, averaging 14:06 time on the ice while largely playing on the third line. Earlier this week, BriseBois had identified Paul as one of three players, along with forward Ondrej Palat and defenseman Jan Rutta, whom the Lightning were focused on re-signing.

The Tampa Bay Lightning announced today that they have re-signed forward Nick Paul to a seven year deal with $3.17M annually.

He is the type of player that puts you over the edge. That is the type of player you need. For a Toronto area native to crush the Leafs like that on their home ice, in a game seven, on a Saturday night? The biggest moment(s) of all came in game seven in round one against the Toronto Maple Leafs. Paul cemented himself in Lightning history with a pair of goals in game seven to take down the Leafs in their own barn. Paul played like a top six forward at times in this most recent cup run. Paul was acquired at this past trade deadline in exchange for Mathieu Joseph and a fourth round draft pick in 2024.

Paul skated in 21 games for the Bolts last season after being acquired from Ottawa at the trade deadline.

The Lightning acquired Paul on March 20, 2022 from Ottawa in exchange for forward Mathieu Joseph and Tampa Bay's own fourth-round selection in the 2024 NHL Draft. Prior to joining Tampa Bay, Paul skated in 59 games for the Senators during the 2021-22 season, recording 11 goals and 18 points, ranking sixth on the Sens for goals. Paul, 27, skated in 21 games for the Lightning during the regular season after joining the team prior to the trade deadline and recorded five goals, 14 points and a plus-four rating while winning 56 percent of his face-offs. He set career highs for games (80), goals (16), assists (16), scoring (32 pts.), penalty minutes (39), power-play goals (2), shots (166) and blocked shots (56) between Tampa Bay and Ottawa in 2021-22.

Now it's official with the Lightning announcing that he has been signed to a seven year contract with a $3.15 million cap hit.

The Lightning acquired Paul on March 20, 2022 from Ottawa in exchange for forward Mathieu Joseph and Tampa Bay’s own fourth-round selection in the 2024 NHL Draft. Prior to joining Tampa Bay, Paul skated in 59 games for the Senators during the 2021-22 season, recording 11 goals and 18 points, ranking sixth on the Sens for goals. Paul, 27, skated in 21 games for the Lightning during the regular season after joining the team prior to the trade deadline and recorded five goals, 14 points and a plus-four rating while winning 56 percent of his face-offs. There’s still a lot up in the air for the Lightning on what they’ll do. With Paul signing for $3.15 million, that means the Lightning have $250,000 ($2.65 million - ($3.15 million - $750,000)) beyond minimum salaries to play with for prospects to fill spots and potentially re-signing Jan Rutta. They can get some more wiggle room if they only carried one extra skater on the roster instead of two. For Paul, this will mean that he’ll be 34 at the end of the contract and will likely be at or at least very near the end of his NHL career by the time the contract is over (or perhaps before). However, if that’s what it took to get this lower cap hit from him than some were projecting he could get as a free agent, I’m fine with taking that risk. I have been able to see a reasonable path forward to making those contracts work with a $3 million cap hit for Paul. There’s also been rumors that the escrow payback could be done at the end of next season which would mean a huge raise in the salary cap in 2023-24 that could make all of my calculation moot anyways. There’s also been reports that the Lightning have approached Ryan McDonagh about facilitating a trade even though he has a full No Trade Clause. That means he’s in full control. The Lightning are trying to move him so that they can possibly re-sign Ondrej Palat. The trade of McDonagh would also make it a little easier to re-sign Rutta. It was clear from the exit interviews following the Stanley Cup Final that Tampa Bay Lightning general manager Julien BriseBois and forward Nick Paul had a lot of interest in signing a new contract. Since the league minimum is $750,000 and there are four roster spots to fill, that means the Lightning have $2.65 million beyond the minimum salary for signings. Something around $3 million was always the number I was working with to make it possible for not only this season, but also 2023-24 when the Lightning will need to navigate new restricted free agent contracts for Anthony Cirelli, Ross Colton, Mikhail Sergachev, Erik Cernak, and Cal Foote, all of whom will be in line for some level of raise. The 26-year-old proved his value in the playoffs, though as he added another 9 points (5 goals, 4 assists) in 23 games, including a memorable two-goal performance against the Toronto Maple Leafs in Game Seven of their series.

Paul, acquired before the trade deadline in March, turned heads in his short time in Tampa Bay, especially during the postseason.

If I’m not getting a bunch of time and opportunity in the NHL and get my callups, I wanted to make sure that I can do everything I can to get more ice, and draws was one of them. Paul was a top forward on the penalty kill and earned time on the second power-play group. “Just the culture of coming in that (dressing) room and just fitting in right away definitely made me feel like I want to be here for a long time,” Paul said. Paul was arguably one of the Lightning’s top players in their run to a third straight Cup final. It still hasn’t sunk in yet.” Paul could have been an unrestricted free agent when the period begins July 13.

In return, Utah will receive four first-round picks and a package of players headlined by Patrick Beverley and Malik Beasley. The Gobert trade comes a day after the Jazz traded Royce O’Neale to the Brooklyn Nets for a first-round pick. According to Sky Sports, Salah signed a three-year contract that will earn him "in excess of £350,000 a week" and make him the highest-paid player in Liverpool history. He ranks among the top 10 in Red Wings history in several categories including ninth in games played (953), eighth in goals (314), sixth in assists (604) and seventh in points (918). Internationally, Datsyuk won a gold medal with Russia at the 2018 Olympic Games in Pyeongchang and a bronze at Salt Lake City in 2002. But for now, he’s taking advantage of the circumstances and seems to be very happy doing so. Salah is a Liverpool legend who has hoisted the Premier League, UEFA Champions League, FA Cup, and League Cup trophies during his stint with the club that began in the summer of 2017. The Sverdlovsk, Russia native, played 14 seasons in the NHL, all with the Red Wings. In a career spanning over 900 games, Datsyuk won the Stanley Cup twice (2002, 2008) with the Red Wings and was a multiple-time winner of the Lady Byng (2006, 2007, 2008, 2009) and Selke Trophy (2008, 2009, 2010). Datsyuk was a sixth-round pick by the Red Wings in the 1998 NHL draft. Mariners Prediction and Pick There are certain bad teams that I can justify betting on in certain spots, but the Athletics are not one of them. In stark contrast, Civale sports a 2-4 record in 40 innings with a 7.20 ERA and 1.60 WHIP. Frankly, i'm surprised the Guardians are giving him another go at this point. At the same time, Paul gets the security that comes with playing for a top organization in a no-tax state. Kyle Gibson is great at Citizens Bank Park and should bounce back after a rough outing against the Padres. Philadelphia has won three straight home starts by Gibson and are 9-3 in their last dozen games as home favorites. The Oakland Athletics and Seattle Mariners will continue their four-game series on on Saturday, as both teams look to put the month of June behind them. He's struggled with command though, and his 6.35 expected ERA ranks among the worst marks in MLB. Philadelphia turns to Kyle Gibson, who has a 4-1 record and 3.21 ERA at home.

Paul was an immediate fit after joining the Bolts, showing up in big moments all the way to the Stanley Cup Final.

I knew that this is where I wanted to be and, thankfully, we got it done." They love what he brought to the lineup and it sounds like Paul loved being a part of it, too. It just really puts in perspective the situation and how grateful and how lucky I am. "Did we sit here and think he was going to come in and play the center position for us and that many minutes? There's no shoveling snow and you can always throw on a pair of flip-flops for your daily trip to the rink. With Paul locked in long-term, the Bolts now have both of their trade deadline acquisitions ready to roll heading into next season. Now, Paul is a part of that core as well. In the postseason, he took more faceoffs than any of his teammates and managed to win 49.7% of them. "I love it here," Paul said. A native of Mississauga, Ontario, Paul showed up in several big moments for the Bolts in this year's postseason. Paul seemed to make himself more and more valuable as each game went along. Paul went on to play in all 23 playoff games for Tampa Bay, scoring five goals and adding four assists for nine points.
