Mtl has no cap space. Bergevin would need to be very creative to make it work. |

For the Blues, would have to be a trade, then sign. Would love to have him though. Have to think about what we would send, what Tampa would want from us. |

Take the Devils off your dartboard of names to associate with Kucherov. The Devils are not eligible to give a significant offer sheet because they don't have their own 3rd round pick. |
|
|
|
Kucherov is worth around 6.5M per, judging by the recent signings of Monahan and MacKinnon, who both put up worse numbers last year. So with that said, there is no way Tampa matches unless they move Bishop very quickly.. |

Hi Eklund, just curious why you don't bother editing or fact checking your blogs?
Thanks. - woopstash
Basically because none of his blogs have any facts in them. |

Shatty, Sobotka's rights and a pick/prospect? Maybe too much but thats what we'd have to give up in order to resign him anyway. |

Kucherov is only 23 and has scored a combined 59 regular seasons goals the last two seasons, as well as 21 playoff goals in 43 games during the same time period. There is no chance the Lightning get him signed for under $6.5M, which is about how much cap space they have.
If a team were to sign him to an offer sheet for around $7.5M/year (just under the next tier of compensation), Tampa Bay would either have to trade Bishop for less than they'd like or get creative with a cap dump or buyout.
Kucherov is already one of the best wingers in the league and getting better. He deserves to get paid like it. |

If it were just about anywhere else than TB you would be right, but it seems players are very inclined at signing for less because of the tax rate.
Of course they don't realize that their tax saving will go up in the air if/when they are traded...

Florida can do it. Florida should do it. Florida has the money to do it. How about a core of Barkov, Huberdeau, Smith, Trocheck, Ekblad, Bjugstad, Kucherov...... |

How do the 700 season ticket holders in FLA feel about the Ekblad injury in Buttmans money grab o' Hockey?

From the Blues perspective, I think it would take Shatty a good prospect or top 9 forward and a pick.
Shatty, Lindbohm and a pick
Shatty, (Rattie, Jaskin, Magnus P) and a pick
Shatty, Berglund and a pick.
Sobie is more than likely not going to be able to come back to the NHL, so I dont think anyone wants his rights at this point.
Does that sound feasible for you Tampa fans? |
