So Tampa wants a good LD prospect and some size up front?
Jake Walman and Tage Thompson interest you guys?
Blues would have to be interested in TJ.
Yea Dunn is a no go. I do understand on Walman, he crashed and burned as soon as the preseason started. I'd bump Thompson up to Kostin if that could tip the scalesNot to appealing. Didn't think Walman took any steps in his development this year and don't see the high upside in him. Would prefer Dunn which is a no go I assume. Thompson is a big kid but he doesn't play really a big game. Don't see him as that big an upgrade over the wing prospect we already have.
Fox, Ferland and a 4th round pick
setting aside this offer, Yzerman should be concerned about what he saw last round from both those players. Kucherov was petrified of getting hit. and Johnson can't defend very well at all.absolutely laughable
Do you expect Killorn has much in the way of trade value? I’m not sure there would be a large market for that contract.Also I don’t expect Johnson to go anywhere. If Tampa moves a forward for cap reasons I expect it to be Killorn.
He's still 22 and has only played 66 AHL games. Really not even a full season. He sure had his struggles but we'll know a lot more about him after this next season. He came on a bit at the end with Binghamton.I think Walman still has a high end ceiling but the likely good of reaching it is fading, just being honest. It was said he's better at offense and skating then Dunn...so there's that lol
I would like to see Johnson on the Habs and see him on a line of Drouin and Gallagher. Only question, I forget but I seen him playing on the wing near the end of the season. I seen him in and out of center during the playoffs too.
Was he moved to the wing?
I would offer something around Mete + whatever the size up front could be for Johnson if I know it’d help the Habs center woes.

I was saying if he was still playing wing or center. I said to get him at center if he is still there or not. Because he was effective at center for a few years when I watched the bolts.Is giving up Mete for an undersized non-center forward (albeit very talented) in Montreal's best interests at the moment?

If he can play center I’d make a trade for sure.

How do you feel about POJ & 74?I would be ok settling for picks or prospects.

I don't see a problem with the dollars, maybe not even the length, but I agree the clause was a bit much. I think he would have mildly positive value if traded alone, but I don't necessarily think we jettison him unless we're actually doing something significant with that cap space.Do TBL fans view Killorn as a player with positive trade value? Would you consider him a dump? Or do you expect he has some degree of negative value?
From the outside, he seems like a pretty okay player, with a lot of positive qualities to bring to a team. I’ve also read quite a bit of negative sentiments from Bolts fans about him. His contract isn’t exactly appealing, with the dollars, length and clauses all feeling quite rich.
Would Tampa fans still have an issue with him if his contract were a little cheaper or shorter or more flexible?
Callahan has a limited NTC July 1st and can be dealt.
Bennett on Stamkos and Kucherov's LW would be a great option imo.Cheaper forwards. Bennett might be of interest but he's a huge risk but he plays with a bit of an edge which we need so even if he doesn't hit his potential could be a useful middle 6 winger. Would need him to sign for cheap after next year though.
Well, for one, we don't know the conditions of the limited NTC (or at least they aren't listed on CapFriendly). Secondly, once you find a team that fits his limited NTC, they have to actually want a 20 point 4th liner with a nearly 6 mil cap hit the next 2 years. I can't imagine the amount of picks and prospects it would cost to sweeten the pot enough to convince a team to take him. Thirdly, that's assuming RC and his agent don't structure the list that the only teams on it are contenders/teams tight against the cap. Why would he want to leave a contending team in a warm weather city with beneficial tax breaks? He wouldn't. His limited NTC may as well be full.
