LeBrun: Possibility of a top 4 RHD with term to Tampa?

[VinikToWinIt]

Guess.

The guys we'd want to move to make cap space (e.g. Gourde, Johnson, Palat, Killorn--depending on who you ask) we can't move, and the guys we CAN move we mostly don't want to (e.g. Kucherov, Point). We do have approximately 6 million in cap space right now, though.

We'll have absolutely no problem moving Killorn - he's just not the guy I want to get rid of. Wouldn't be too keen on trading Palat either with the renaissance season he's having.

The other 2, yes please.

Should move Point. Good return for a small center, who is not really a guy made for playoffs.

 

[ConnorMcMullet]

Would they have interest in Adam Larsson?

I presumed the OP was talking about an in-season trade (which we can't really do with Killorn).

Good take. The so called “insiders” basically sell any journalistic integrity they have to stay relevant. They must know they are being used by NHL execs, but still allow it to happen.

They are paid to be used by the NHL, they sell hockey and the NHL helps sell them, journalists aren’t even journalists anymore never mind sports writers

Johnson, Gourde 1st
for
Dumba & Greenway

Gourde and a 1st for Risto also makes a lot of sense.

(except for their NTCs)

Any trade that has more roster forwards going to Minnesota than are leaving is probably a non-starter. Don't have a lot of interest in Johnson or Gourde either, personally.

No offense meant, but this is a pretty horrible take. Outside of Hedman, Point is probably the most valuable "playoff style" player on the Lightning.

 

[samsagat]

I offered to take Gourde so TB can free cap space in another thread about a Petry trade, but TB fans we're asking for a 1st rd pick, arguing that Petry wasn't worth more than a 2-3rd round pick... duh!!

And afterward, insinuating Habs fans were delusional about their players value..

Point has the most value. Could get a good (experienced) D man for him.

Stamkos has taken on the more defensive minded role, which allows Point to succeed. Hedman is great, but needs help back there. Point would return that help.

Point has the most value for a reason. He would be a far more significant loss than any good D man could make up for.

I wouldn't hold my breath on a single trade fixing the Wild.

Point for Dumba?

So why not make some bad ones, amiright?

Edit: Holy ****, Johnson + Gourde is $10 million in cap space? Through 2023-24?!

 

[VinikToWinIt]

Point for Dumba?

You're significantly undervaluing Point. We're not trading our 23 year old 1C for Dumba. Or anyone, really.

I assumed he was joking.

 

[tony d]

Josh Manson to tampa for Gourde and Vancouver's 1st is a deal that would make sense to me.

 

[Ledge And Dairy]

Alright so lets assume the average top 4 RD with even 1 extra year of term has a cap hit of around 4M+. Next year Tampa has Segachev, Cirelli, and Cernak all needing decent raises as well as Vasi's 6M raise kicking in next year. With only Shattenkirk, Rutta, Condon, and Carle coming off the books above leahue minimum, and only Killorn's contract changing to a M-NTC this seems like a really big stretch without someone waiving.

Isn’t Stamkos the TBay top center? Plus, Dumba is what 25? IMO if the Lightning want a Cup they need to move Point for an upgrade on D. Hedman can’t do it all on his own.

You know, when I went shopping for a Jeep a few years back the salesperson kept pushing me towards a Dodge Grand Caravan. This kinda has that same vibe

This is... a take.

 

[Honeycutt]

Faulk for Maroon and first or prospect. Mark it down. Patty is coming home.

 

[CupsOverCash]

Lol at anybody thinking they can snag Point.

 

[samsagat]

Gourde + Van 1st + Joseph

vs

Petry

Tampa scout was at the Nashville/Toronto game Monday...
