Confirmed Trade: [TBL/NSH] Tanner Jeannot for Cal Foote, c. 2025 1st round pick, 2024 2nd round pick, 2023 3rd, 4th, and 5th round picks

Is that return legit?

Did Tampa actually trade a young player, 1st, 2nd, 3rd, 4th and 5th for a 3rd line banger? I wanted him too, but man. That's a wild price.

 

[Canucks LB]

Is that more than Timo Meier?

 

[DingDongCharlie]

I am actually expecting not to like what Tampa gives up. There is going to be a prospect in there I don't want to see go.

The cost of winning. I like that a contender here is routinely going for it. Wish my own club had this mentality.

 

[DevilsHughes86]

Is that dude credible? Never heard of him before

Was going to ask the same question, not buying it right now!

 

[Zirakzigil]

This is one of the most lop-sided and dumb trades I've seen in YEARS.

Shades of Erat for Forsberg

 

[Big Daddy Cane]

If true, the equivalent of an entire draft class in total value!

EDIT: It's true. That's different.

 

[Michoulicious]

That is... a lot.

 

[Tender Rip]

Well.... Brisebois is Briseboising.

For the here and now. But it is a steep return for what Jeannot has done this season, and if anyone can make Cal Foote what he was supposed to be, it is Nashville.

Meh. Tampa had to get into the arms race with all the other teams making moves eventually. If this is their biggest add, it's not particularly imposing.

Oh yes it is, lol.

Nick Paul wasn't supposed to be particularly imposing. Once they jolt Jeannot with whatever Frankenstein formula they give their role players, he's going to dutifully wear down our always thin defence.

And he'll probably do it on a line with Paul and we're not going to have the horses to answer.

That's a move Toronto makes just to stymie Tampa.

Naive on my part most likely, but when you're Tampa, you just need to add Jeannot and Paul and the like to the elite talent in front of them and it's another analogous table where the guy on the other side knows he just has to lean on us long enough because we can't match up.

 

[ViewsFromThe6ix]

That is actually nuts and I love Jeannot

 

[Gil Gunderson]

That’s not real lmao

 

[The Rochester Rocket]

That price is barely less than Meier

 

[DevilsHughes86]

WOW!

 

[DistantThunderRep]

I can't rationalize this payment from the Lightning at all. They gave up 5 draft picks and a prospect for a guy with 14 points in 57 games. Just downright insanity.

Contract status is big. If Tampa can sign him long term for cheap, he becomes invaluable. Tampa can bring up Jeannot's stats for sure. The 3rd, 4th, 5th is whatever. Who cares about those picks. Foote needs play time and he wasn't getting it in Tampa. Top 10 protected first is kind of shocking. and a 2nd next year.

Its not really as obscene considering Nashville's offense is next to zero this year and Jeannot's points reflect that.

 

[1specter]

This is disgusting. Wow

 

[Marc the Habs Fan]

If this trade had happened last season with how Jeannot was performing, everyone would be like ''it's a fair price''. Jeannot's offensive game probably lies somewhere in-between last year and this year.

 

[Five Alarm Fire]

What the f*** Brisebois.

 

[Zirakzigil]

Legit if Freid is reporting it

 

[Koivu11]

… seems like a lot.

 

[LokiDog]

Father Christmas, that’s a lot. Foote, 1st, 2nd, 3rd, 4th, 5th for a player with 5 goals and 14 points on the year? I like his upside and everything else he brings - a lot - and would take him on my team, but that’s still a hefty return.

 

[Hockey4Lyfe]

Kind of handcuffs any trade for the short term future for the Lightning. They will probably have to get rid of prospects. They will have basically no draft picks to attach.

It’s a complete joke that Jeannot returned this much.

 

[Canucks LB]

This might be an exaggeration, but this is one of the worst trades I have ever seen before a deadline.

what am I missing here, somebody help me out

[Umingmak]

INSANE overpayment. Wow.

I saw this on Instagram and genuinely thought it was a parody post.
