I don’t know what your problem seems to be with having a large player on a sissy’s wing Tuch is definitely not available, Tkachuk and Crouse will be expensive to add Anderson is mediocre at best at that cap hit Wheeler I wouldn’t touch with term.

Dizzle Posted June 1 Share Posted June 1 2 hours ago, Hammertime said: I have Dakota penciled in at 4x4. I think they should try very hard to persuade 3.25m x 3. Frankly before he arrived here and was paired with Garland he was well on his way to PDG, Lafferty land. 3.25 is generous. No way he should be getting 4 mil. 2 hours ago, DeNiro said: He would be crazy not to take 3.25x3. We’ve seen guys try and parlay one good season into a big payday before only to realize teams have the same hesitations the Canucks do. I don’t think teams will be lining up to offer him 4x4 like the media is speculating. I think it’s another case of media overvaluing players, not unlike Tyler Motte. This exactly. And if someone is willing to give him 4x4 good for him… wish him the best. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
PhillipBlunt Posted June 1 Share Posted June 1 Looks like Tampa is open to trading Tanner Jeannot. Alvin should look at trading for him and slot him in with Pettersson and Garland. 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Having a 3rd line that drives play is also good for Pete. There is a huge benefit to Pete getting on the ice with puck possession. I think you solve the winger for Pete issue in other ways possibly a Hronek swap and a Mikkey dumperoo. As for Garlands slow ness. looks like he's in the top 15% of the playoffs in this regard.

DrJockitch Posted June 1 Share Posted June 1 So Alf logic is we should trade Garland because he is small and doesn’t PK and we shouldn’t pay Joshua who gives us size and is one of our best PKers and matchup forwards. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Though I really think Josh Anderson is the best buy low candidate. Hes a top10 fastest player in the league has size plays hard nosed draws a ton of penalties. I would happily swap him for Mik 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Nucker67 Posted June 1 Share Posted June 1 My apologies if it's been mentioned before, but what about UFA Chandler Stephenson as the #3C? Big Canadian Stanley Cup champion C, who would be a heck of a lot cheaper than Lindholm. That's if he'd even be willing to leave Vegas, but can they afford him? 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
spook007 Posted June 1 Share Posted June 1 6 hours ago, JeremyCuddles said: Worked for Edmonton. But in all seriousness, bringing back Joshua and adding a top 6 forward shouldn't eat all our cap. I'd hope. Hope you are right in that scenario, as getting a big mobile D has been a revelation, a long over due one... would hate to go back to a D similar to we've had the last 10 Years... 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JayDangles Posted June 1 Share Posted June 1 23 hours ago, Elias Pettersson said: We failed in the playoffs because of the top 6 and because Petey was playing with AHL players. That won't happen again. Allvin said the top 6 is a priority and he also said he will find the next Dakota Joshua... Well to be fair, Petey was playing like he was in the AHL also....

Yep don’t think it mattered who he was with when he was playing at that level. Glad we didn’t spend more assets to acquire another top 6 as I think it would have been wasted. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Might be a better investment than paying Joshua close to 4, especially if they think there could be a regression. If he can get back to around 30 points and bring some legit grit to the third line that’s good value at 2.6 mil. That being said I hope Joshua comes in at around that cost on a short deal.

Because he’s apparently willing to take a steep discount to keep that team in the running. Right now they are simply looking at fat to trim to get into range and Jeannot is prime candidate that way. Stamkos not going anywhere. Just what I’ve read anyway I’d imagine given their circumstance they might become a little easier to negotiate with. Will take a big loss on Jeannot but it doesn’t matter given their overall standing. trading out Cirelli (1st year of 8 year deal! And no MNTC) and Jeannot will get them in the ballpark. https://thehockeynews.com/news/room-for-stamkos-what-the-tampa-bay-lightning-acquiring-mcdonagh-means-for-their-cap-space Edited June 2 by RWJC Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Just what I’ve read anyway If they wanted to trim the fat, then why did they trade for a dman making almost $7 million with no cap retention? That makes no sense. Stamkos can easily get $8 million on the open market from Boston or other teams. I highly doubt he's going to take a massive pay cut to keep playing in Tampa. Also, if you look at their roster, there really isn't much fat they can trim unless they want to trade a high priced forward which would defeat the purpose of keeping the team together. Trading Jeannot for picks and prospects isn't really gonna help their cap situation... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

My money is on them figuring something out. Stamkos is in the same vein as Crosby…going nowhere. Someone there is LTIR bound between Sergachev and McDonough, or possibly both.
