Not quite a star but should be a long time nhl'er who does everything well

better offensively then his dad who had a great career

Exactly, for some reason I am picturing a Stu Barnes or something

In the offseason trade Mitts, Montour and our 1st (top 3 protected) to Tampa for Point.
Point is one of the only players without a NTC. They have no RD signed after this season. They only have about $6m (plus whatever the cap increases by) to sign 9 players.
Unless they can get 1 or 2 of Gourde, Johnson or Killorn to waive their NTC and find someone to take on one of those contracts, they'll have a tough time re-signing Cirelli this summer or filling out the rest of the roster.

Killorn has a modified NTC as on July 1st

TB's other problem is that only Hedman and Coburn are signed for next year in their entire D corps.

Sergachev and Cernak are both RFAs in addition to Cirelli.

They only have total contracts of $2.3M coming off the books too.

Gourde and Johnson are their bad contracts right now accounting for 51 total points and $10.1M.

Dealing your 1C who feeds Stamkos and Kucherov does not seem like a smart idea in order to keep your 2C.

Apparently he is scrambling to make a deal or deals,
but no one wants our crap.
Since he either added or resigned the Crap,
Is he patient or merely ineffective?

Get a 2C and a 2 or 3RW, I'll then stand with him.
- IonSabres

I am curious - how is he scrambling? Real question not a passive aggressive dig. I do not know the behind the scenes goings on. For example, what do we have, what do we want, how does it fit financially, etc.

Please help me understand.

They do also have McDonagh signed on defense.
Stamkos and Point have both taken 700+ faceoffs this year. I'd assume they were playing on separate lines.

And their goalie is starting his contract extension. Which is an absolutely horrible deal

Looks like we will see how their organizational depth is. They will need to cycle though a bottom six for a long time.

That's a little unfair - there is still almost a week to the deadline. Judge him afterward.

Not to mention, who do WE have that's comparable to Brenden Dillon, style wise, contract and salary wise that Washington would've wanted over Dillon?

No one.

Would you really trade Risto for a 2nd and a 3rd?? Who's dumb here?


I'd probably do Montour or McCabe for that but still..

And McDonagh

Yea I missed him as he is on LTIR right now.

They will have 14 skaters, 9 forwards and 3 D plus 2 goalies and $9.5M in cap space with 17 RFAs including Cirelli and Sergachev.

No doubt a 2020 2nd and conditional 2021 3rd are the missing pieces to contending for a playoff spot this year (or next).

Scandella went to the blues for a 2nd round pick and conditional 4th

Scandella to St. Louis for a 2nd and condition 4th. Here. We. Go.
