How does Brayden Point ask for more money than Nikita Kucherov and Steven Stamkos? Kucherov is the reigning MVP and he just extended for $9.5 as a pending UFA...

No, he didn't. Kucherov signed his extension on 10 July, 2018, on the heels of an impressive 39G 100Pts season. Brayden Point eclipsed his goal total by a fair margin with 41, and came close to the 100-point mark as a 23-year-old—two years younger than Kucherov was when he signed his current contract. Factor inflation into the equation, and it becomes unsurprising that Brayden Point is pushing to be the highest paid player in Tampa.
