Is that all you’ve got? Let me make it easy for you.I would too if I was 18 million over the cap
He is but he is a center and McDavid has that locked up for purposes of this conversationWhat about Point? He’s as big of a factor to TB’s success as those other guys
that doesnt change the fact noone better than Kucherov at scoring at Playoffs- these are just different sportsUh okay. Doesn't change the fact that no one in hockey today is better than McDavid.
Funny thing is they aren't 18 million over. You're such a sheepI would too if I was 18 million over the cap
like this is a bit of a stretch but you could definitely legitimately argue most of theseYou forgot Best Center, Coach, GM, Trainer, Owner Radio and TV tandem, stadium, fans, fishing, golf, and hottest woman.

This thread wouldn’t even be a point of discussion were not for the fact that Tampa Bay has drafted and developed more star players in the last decade than any team in the league. They will pay for that soon enough
Covid, not manipulation put them in this position. Without the pandemic the salary cap was anticipated to increase to $85 million. Because of the lack of revenue in the league and no games played it did not. If it had it would’ve been easy to get somebody to take Tyler Johnson amongst other players in the league on waivers. Had that happened the rest of the Increase would’ve taken care of the balance of the Tampa overage problem.
The problem with so many people in here is they hear something and they want to run with it. Now your math lesson: the $18 million isn’t even accurate since half that money went to two players on long-term injured reserve that will never play again.
Got it? Good. Now carry on
But does Tampa has?HF gotta get hype or get lost. We are Tampa. All your threads are belong to we.

I think his mediocre playoff history is something that causes people to have doubts.No he couldn't.
What is the obsession hockey fans have with saying XXX is better than McDavid? No one is better than McDavid.
I would take Marchand ahead of Kane and Panarin.Hedman and Vasi, no question. Kuch has a good case as well. Who compares ? Kane, Panarin
McDavid literally just had the best regular season of any player dating back to like Jagr. He literally had over a 150 point pace this season.
First of all, anybody can put an Asterix beside a team if they don’t want them to win. Somehow it makes certain people feel better.So a covid asterisk? You imagined a planned cap ceiling that didn't happen. Then got a weird bail out on letting one of the best players on the planet sit the entire year to circumvent the SAME situations every other team went through.
Now to your point that I 100% agree with. Tampa sat their best player for the year and is still here. Imagine Buffalo or the Oilers etc etc doing that. They cant sniff the playoffs. That speaks to depth and drafting and you are spot on. Other teams should be jealous of that. Tampa is the icon of what teams should do.
However getting a world class athlete back "for free" while keeping that depth in tact deserves questioning. But Kudos for the squad being that good to not need him until now. But the NOW is what is in question.
P.S I'd kill for the drafting and scouting Tampa has done. Its remarkable in this day and age of the cap era up until this huccop of Kucherov coming back
That's because his competition aren't playing today.Today I'm seeing Kucherov head and shoulders above everyone else.
