Non sequitur.Tampa is a playoff bubble team right now...they're not waiting!
Drouin made the request. Steve Yzerman was not shopping him.

They're discussing this on TSN690 right now and one of the guys said he would offer Beaulieu, McCarron and a 1st for Drouin. Seems really steep to me and if that's the cost MB needs to bail IMO.
I turned off the TSN690 stream I had running on my computer yesterday after an idiot called and suggested putting Subban on the RW to generate offense. Not worth taking anything that is being said there seriously, minus one or two insights Marinaro might have or not have on some trade negociations.
Matthew Carle, signed for 2 more years at $5.5M.
Jason Garrison, signed for 2 more years at $4.6M.
Victor Hedman, signed for 1 more years at $4.0M.
Slater Koekkoek, in the minor, ELC, top prospect of the Tampa Bay lightning.
That's the depth of the Tampa Bay Lightning on the left side on D.
Why would they even want Beaulieu?
That's not what they need, they are already fully loaded on the left side.
McCarron is the name that should be out there if there's anything.
Tampa desperately need size upfront.
If Stamkos leave, they will desperately need help down the middle
- McCarron
- Carr
- Good pick (1st or 2nd round pick)
That MIGHT get the job done but i wouldn't do it.
You're angry because one of the callers had no clue?
Aside:
It's interesting how the fanbase considers Scherbak a lot more expendable than McCarron. That is a shift entirely based off a few months of performance.
Are West coast teams really going to be lining up and selling the farm on a small, soft, skill first player? He's basically the opposite of the big, tough, defensive west coast style we see today. Just an observation.
If I was Bergy I would totally call Yzerman's bluff. Offer a good but reasonable package like Juulsen/Scherback and a 1st and just leave it on the table. I really can't see a team offering a whole lot more. Could be a Vanek like situation where Yzerman ends up handcuffed by expecting to get a kings ransom and scaring potential suitors away. Sending him back to Bergevin's offer in the end.

Mostly everyone is saying that TB will not trade Drouin to Montreal for obvious reasons and that he's going out west. What these guys are forgetting is that Montreal probably values Drouin much more than Anaheim values him for example.
Will Yzerman say no to Montreal if their offer is quite a bit better than Anaheim's offer and thus improves the Lightning more?
Andrighetto+Scherbak+Tinordi+1st for Drouin
Over payment, maybe
Worth it, yup
Plus I'd start talking to them about Stamkos... just to get it started.
LOL at the serious overpayments in this thread. Right now Drouin is just another high pick who has not lived up to his billing. Although he is frustrated with Cooper, his frustration has boiled over which has shown an attitude of entitlement and not willing to work hard for the coach. Anyone else remember Benoit Poulliot. He was a #4 overall, he turned into a legit top 9 but never lived up to the #4 drafting spot. I would not pay that much for someone who has just as much chance to be a bust as he does to be a top 9 and as he does to be a star. too much risk in trading a guy like McCaron, who also has just as much as a chance to be a bust, top 9 or 1st liner (don't think the guy will be a star).

Personally, I'd rather have Stamkos
Andrighetto + Scherback + Tinordi + 1st for Drouin
yet the Preds just landed RyJo for one asset
This is complete madness

There is no comparison to be drawn from the Ryjo trade.
