Confirmed with Link: [TBL/COL] Ross Colton traded for the 2023 37th overall pick

[Flat Ronnie]

#DontDraftBedardChallenge is alive and well.

Could be worse actually.

 

[JTBF81]

What a terrible trade. Losing Killorn and Colton, and not even getting a single asset back that helps this year; now I have a much worse outlook for this season, but hey, at least all the doom and gloom posters in here can have a party I guess.

Colorado gets a 1st+2nd for Newhook, N.J. gets Toffoli for Sharangovich+3rd, and all JBB can get is a pitiful 2nd for Colton.

7.325 million in cap space and six roster spots. Going to be interesting.

There's been so much trade activity because teams don't really like this year's free agent group.

That same free agent group is also rich in bottom pair/bottom six types that TB needs.

Kind of need a top 6 forward now though, since Killorn and Colton are gone. Unless what I said yesterday holds true and the plan is forcing Jeannot into the top 6 with Stammer and Cirelli.

save us, ABB!


(numbers-wise, ABB is the next verhaughe/JAM that we're all pining for)

 

[The Gongshow]

Cirelli/Stamkos has never worked, we'll need another top 6 player, unless Killorn is signed and they go back to Stamkos - Paul - Killorn

Jeannot is most likely 4th line with Maroon

None of whom are close to replacing what they just lost in Colton and Killorn. The trade is a complete loss for Tampa, a team in a win now spot that just gave away 5 picks for Jeannot lol, and then trade a far better player for one whole 2nd. And now I hear they are interested in OEL, who should cripple the defense nicely.

 

[Five Alarm Fire]

Hate this trade because it feels like a direct result of the Jeannot trade.

Silver lining - there should be a really good player available at 37 if we keep the pick.

God what an awful line that would be.

Still weird how Colton wad worth a 2nd....but Jeanot was worth a 1st, 2nd, 3rd, 4th and 5th....

 

[Hoek]

That's it. Show's over. We will never recover from the loss of Ross Colton.

 

[RussianGuyovich]

well, theres the timing: trade deadline moves are always more expensive because you are paying to bolster your playoff chances.

 

[Zwui21]

Would have preferred to get a late first than an early second, but it's still decent.

FA activity has to save us on getting cheap replacements

Colorado held picks 27, 31, and 37.

We'd probably have needed to add in order to move up.

 

[Outl4w]

Thanks for your time and big goal here Ross. I am not sure if we are going to draft someone or trade the pick for hemp on defense.

God what an awful line that would be.

Yeah but players cost more a the deadline and Ross still has to sign there. He holds the power in negotiations because they obviously value him.

 

[Felonious Python]

Let JBB and Murray cook.

JBB is on the chopping block, agreed?

We have to wait and see what happens. We got at least one forward spot and one defenseman spot to fill. Can we trade Myers and our 7th even and mid or low tier prospect to Arizona as a cap dump to free up some more space.

A player that can help the team in 2026 or 2027! Can't wait....

I was joking

What exactly did you expect on a return for a pending RFA like Colton?

 

[JTBF81]

He's trending in the wrong direction 100%.

 

[DFC]

Return is fine. I just hate making Colorado better.

 

[JTBF81]

At least one player that could help now. Any team interested in him should've been a team able to re-sign him, so JBB should have been able to get more. Both Newhook and Sharangovich, players of comparable ability, returned far better than Colton. It was a terrible return.

 

[Flat Ronnie]

Does Jeannot get a leash like Hagel or are we already confirming that he's a bust?

A 37th OA pick for a pending RFA of Coltons caliber is a bad return?

 

[Todd1a]

So we give up the farm for Jeanno and get back about a quarter of said farm for a better player. Great work JBB

Amazing how Colton got 1 second but Jeannot got 5 draft picks and foote
