Speculation: Will Tampa or Dallas buy out anybody?

[Kcb12345]

Cogliano would likely be the only option in Dallas

And that makes little sense because it turns 1 year into 2 and in the second we need to money for the Heiskanen extension. Its one more year . At worst he can be traded somewhere with some added assets.

 

[Mickey Marner]

Who would they buyout and why?

Paying two players to occupy one role during a recession isn't very likely.

Why?
He has a NTC not a NMC. And Tampa needs capspace. If TyJo is not willing to cooperate in finding a trade to a destination he likes, why wouldn't Tampa just waive him and try to solve their issues that way? Whats so wrong about that? Other organisations have pulled way worse stuff and that was not on the back of a global pandemic that has completely ruined the capsituation for many teams in the NHL...

Threatening to put quality people and players on waivers isn't exactly a good way to encourage your younger players to be willing to sign team friendly deals.

If you know X team will claim Johnson I agree 100 out of 100. But if a team won't claim and Johnson comes back it can get nasty.

I can’t see it for the Stars. Some fans thought Pavelski before the playoffs, but his leadership is too valuable. They could replace Comeau and Cogliano with younger - though they may try to deal them before a buy out - and I’d anticipate Janmark may be allowed to hit free agency.

I wouldn’t be completely shocked if they shop Radulov and I’d also imagine, sadly, that they may get some LTIR relief on Johns as I’m not sure he returns.

 

[McJedi]

Tampa won't buy anyone out but they certainly could waive a few of their NTCs to get rid off them...
Odds are that Tyler Johnson will either be forced to waive his NTC to go somewhere semi decent via tade or if he refuses he might end up with Detroit or Ottawa after he gets picked up on waivers...

It’s not remotely a sure thing Tyler Johnson get claimed off waivers.

 

[McJedi]

Or tampa exposes Tyler in a year to seattle and Seattle takes him.

Or Seattle doesn’t. And takes Cernak or Cirelli. Seattle will take the best value off Tampa’s roster. Which will force Tampa to cough up a sweet asset to take Johnson. Like Foote and a higher pick.

Tampa would be wise to open up a couple of 1sts to help move bad contracts. I'm not even trolling, if they can find a way to keep Cernak, Cirelli, Sergachev alongside Point, Kuch, etc, they will be primed to have a Chicago-esque dynasty. Those 1sts won't even be that high if they are that good year-in and year-out. For as long as their window is open, players will sign for cheap for a shot a the Cup. As a Detroit fan, I've seen it happen more than a few times.

if u put tbl at 4x4
4 of Serge/Hedman/Cernak/Ryan Mc/Foote
stamkos/point/kuch/cirelli

Johnson is not the pick. It maybe Palat. It maybe Ryan Mc/Foote whoever is unprotected. But the Johnson choice doesn't work.

 

[FireGorton]

You can't force somebody to waive their NTC

Do what Gorton did since he got Staal to waive his no trade to play for Red Wings next season

If we trade killorn and Tyler Johnson I think we can then keep Sergachev, cernak and cirell no problem.

but our only chance at a buy out would be on Tyler Johnson.

 

[Todd1a]

Also johnson doesn’t suck but right now he can’t crack the top 6 on this tampa team stacked up front even without stamkos. If he got a 2nd line center job with a team he could pop 50 to 60 points again Easy.
