Dude was skating on one leg, I’m surprised he even came back for the playoffs. Also a full training camp and health will do wonders for him next year.
The trade made sense, the price paid didn't.
Brisebois assumed Jeannot would run around against the leafs & bruins and do whatever he wanted, whenever he wanted because no one could match his toughness. He f***ed around and found out and against Schenn in game #2. Its a draw. The rest of the lighting "tough guys" are BTFO and quickly abandoned the intimidation strategy used in years past. Jeannot becomes irrelevant and benched after game #4.
You know the rest.
Yah I'd say slightly in jeannots favor.Was not a draw lol. Schenn held in but definitely lost
He was bad all season before the trade as well and apparently was pricing himself out of what the Preds wanted to pay him anyway.Will be funny if specifically because he had a bad 2 months once coming to Tampa they were able to sign him dirt cheap long term, and then next year he goes back to playing like he did in his Rookie season.

The Tampa GM was too dumb. Could have traded less picks for all those players that Toronto got. O'Reilly would have helped their center depth, Acciari is better than Raddysh, then they could have maybe traded for someone like Hathaway or maybe Orlov. They traded billions of picks for 1 guy who can't even put 50 points up and can fight, big whop. Could have added better depth and win.This was really the difference between Tampa and Toronto imo.
Toronto added O'Reilly, McCabe, Acciari and Schenn who were difference makers and Tampa added Jeannot. That said you have a good physical young forward who could just as easily regain form next year.
Yes - The value is insane, but beyond just the cups - it let them keep a relatively competitive roster together. The contracts of the players brought in fit their roster in a perfect way and allowed them retain their top and upper middle tier roster players for a longer period of time.I know Tampa won 2 covid cups and have a finals appearance and all but since getting spanked by Columubs Brisebois traded
That's like an entire rebuild worth of futures just for solid depth players

The Jeannot trade is meant to do the same thing, presuming they get him to take that standard "team friendly" contract they have gotten the depth players to sign for over the last decade.

If jeannot had the edge in that fight he would have challenged Schenn again. Instead he crawled back in the hole he came from ! Send him back to Nashville.

...just for solid depth players that helped them do what? (Hint: it's conveniently at the beginning of your post)I know Tampa won 2 covid cups and have a finals appearance and all but since getting spanked by Columubs Brisebois traded
1st, 1st, 1st, 1st, 1st, 1st, both Footes (each a former 1st round pick), 2nd, 2nd, Raddysh, Joseph, bunch of smaller picks
for
Coleman, Goodrow, Savard, Hagel, Jeannot, Paul, -Tyler Johnson
that's SIX first round picks, 8 depending if you count Footes, and at least another 1st rounder worth of lower value picks and prospects like Raddysh
For comparison, Yzerman's last big trade was getting McDonagh AND Miller for Namestnikov, Howden, Hajek, 1st, where Miller alone fetched a 1st and 3rd back, so pretty much getting McDonagh for Namestnikov, Howden and Hajek.
That's like an entire rebuild worth of futures just for solid depth players
So just be content with the past and don't try to improve?Tampa got their cups I don’t think they care about losing a trade(they shouldn’t atleast)
Tampa really gets under your skin eh?Excellent trade, Tampa got a real gem. Can't wait to see when Jeannot hits his prime.
He did challenge Schenn again. There’s a clip of it lmaoIf jeannot had the edge in that fight he would have challenged Schenn again. Instead he crawled back in the hole he came from ! Send him back to Nashville. [MOD]

He is 25Excellent trade, Tampa got a real gem. Can't wait to see when Jeannot hits his prime.
No but making these high risk moves for low contracts has worked for them so I’ll give the benefit of the doubt to the gm thereSo just be content with the past and don't try to improve?
Bold strategy. Let's see if it pays off.
Holl has him coveredHard to bully the Leafs from the press box!
Preds won the trade deadlineHe was bad all season before the trade as well and apparently was pricing himself out of what the Preds wanted to pay him anyway.
