Cirelli for Jets' 1st rounder (top 10 protected), Lowry or Copp (TB's choice) and Niku.
I think he stands a good chance of an offer sheet if he isn't re-signed or traded before July.
Would the Bolts re-sign him to a 5 x 6.34m?
All they would get back is a 1st and a 3rd if they didn't and they would really paint themselves into a corner if they did.
My deal gives them a very good defensive center, a D man that won the D man of the year in the AHL two seasons ago and a 1st round pick.
But CAD Taxes are much higher than USD taxes (at least until next election). Florida also has no state taxes. Its a legit take home difference Plus warmer beach weather to boot. Florida Tampa bay and Dallas have built in tax advantages over everyone else. For example if Mike Hoffman is offered same salary in free agency by Montreal and Dallas you can bet he is Dallas bound.Aren’t all NHL contracts, no matter if US or Canadian team, in US $ anyway? If it’s a $6 mil/year offer, it’s $6 mil US regardless
It's not only due to taxes, the players love their teammates, the management, and the fans. You see players taking team friendly deals in Tampa all the time but not nearly as often for the Stars, Preds, or even the Panthers for that matter.But CAD Taxes are much higher than USD taxes (at least until next election).

Think of Aho/Point contracts. Aho was offersheeted at 8.40m by Canadians while Point took 6.75m from Lightning. The tax allowed Point to take the discount. Could Point have been greedy and taken the 8.4m offer sheet and double dipped in TB? sure. And in Theory can Cirelli double dip? Sure. But players in TB such as Point and Stamkos have been team friendly due to the taxes.

Easy no for Lightning.
Yes they need to make salary cap room. It won't be Cirelli.
Tyler Johnson Killorn will be traded not Cirelli.
Johnson has a full NTC, cant see he is willing to move. Killorn has a 16 team ntc who kicks in after this season, and since noone knows how the cap will be becasue the Corona, I cant see teams be ready to trade for him, until they got their things sorted and that can be very well after the NTC kicks in and upcoming expansion draft, meaning teams need to be sure he is a guy they want to protect if they trade for him.
1) Every year this will be the year of the offer sheet. And it never happens.
You are absolutely right.
Well, except for last year. You know, when we had an offer sheet.
This upcoming summer will be as good a summer as any for teams who have been smart with cap space to take advantage.
Not to say it will happen, but Cirelli is a prime candidate for a real good offer sheet this summer.
Yeah Tampa says no way Jose, Not going to happen. Cirelli isn't going anywhere.Cirelli for Jets' 1st rounder (top 10 protected), Lowry or Copp (TB's choice) and Niku.
Aslo, remember 6m USD is about 8.25 CAD.
1) Every year this will be the year of the offer sheet. And it never happens. And choice between Cirelli at 6 or Johnson or Killorn its easily Cirelli. Cirelli team control for 4 years you don't trade. It either bridge at 3.25m or longer term at 5.75m(Konecky deal)
2) Good d 4c at 2.9m. Not Lightning need in a cap world. And the D getting the promotion for TB will be Foote.
3) the 1st they will get for Johnson or Killorn.
Its an easy no.
1) We had an offer sheet last year, regardless of its outcome, we still had one. There were numerous report that both Marner and Point turned down offer sheets as well, so could’ve been 3.
2) I agree with that. Tampa need cap space, not equivalent salary coming back in a trade
3) Doubt they get a first for Johnsson. Maybe Killorn but if* he’s traded I feel Tampa will not get anywhere close to full value for him
Cirelli wouldn’t be s target for me or my team. I’d go after Sergachev. I’d offer the #8 overall in return and if it’s a no from Tampa, I’d go the offer sheet route. Bring the boy back home.
I expect TB will figure out a way to sign both Cirelli and Sergachev but how? They have 9 players on NTC. Why would a Johnson or Killorn or Gourde or Palat accept a trade?1) Every year this will be the year of the offer sheet. And it never happens.

Somebody has to accept a trade all be it determining team they go to and possibly lowering value back.I expect TB will figure out a way to sign both Cirelli and Sergachev but how? They have 9 players on NTC. Why would a Johnson or Killorn or Gourde or Palat accept a trade?
Jets would pass on this trade too. That’s a lot to give up for Cirelli especially since Winnipeg would be dealing from a position of power.
Also, I highly doubt Tampa gets a first for either Johnson or Killorn.
