Worst deal in a while pending Tampa re-signing him, which is likely as he's rfa and having a good season next year.Worst deal of the deadline?

They won their cups before this trade! Giving up an entire draft class for a depth player was odd, and they fact they won in the past doesn’t absolve themTampa got their cups I don’t think they care about losing a trade(they shouldn’t atleast)
It gives them some leeway to make a move like this and not get blasted for it lol, ya win some ya lose someThey won their cups before this trade! Giving up an entire draft class for a depth player was odd, and they fact they won in the past doesn’t absolve them
Only difference from Hagel was Hagel was at least having a great year with the Hawks before struggling once moving to Tampa. Jeannot was awful this season for the Preds, a completely ineffectual player--he really just hasn't been the same player at all since hitting the wall at about game 60-65 the prior season. I think he still has the potential to be the guy that scored 24, but he sort of has to figure out how to still be effective now that he's a known entity and opponents understand what to expect out of him.They'll resign him and like Hagel he'll be better in year 2. Sure they would have liked it now but he couldnt have been 100%
Paid too much, but at least he's just an RFA, so they could regain some value from him.They'll resign him and like Hagel he'll be better in year 2. Sure they would have liked it now but he couldnt have been 100%
And how does that help them now? Do you think teams should retire from the league the moment they win a cup?Tampa got their cups I don’t think they care about losing a trade(they shouldn’t atleast)

I still trust the gm that won 2 cups and a finals losing a trade vs a random poster calling it badThey absolutely should. They traded an entire draft class for a guy who "might" top out as a 50 point player.
Tampa was able to sustain their success because of drafting guys like Cirelli and Point beyond the 1st round. They were also able to identify guys that could really blossom in their lineup like Hagel.
They basically traded away next year's draft class which means they no longer have the ability to trade for another Hagel or draft another Cirelli because they thought that Jeannot was gonna be the catalyst for a 4th Cup run.
Considering Eyssimont had more of an impact in the series in 2 games than Jeannot had in 3 games I wouldn't hold my breath. Man was awful and so useless. He can fight thats for sure, but did next to nothing else.I think that this was a very nice attempt to gain upper hand against playoffs opponents. After many successful dealings this doesn't seem too good at the moment, but who knows, maybe Tanner Jeannot will be the main player while gaining the Stanley Cup during next season?
I don't think there's any chance of a "50 point player". He had his career year already, at 41 pts, with an unsustainable shooting pct. I am a big fan of Jeannot. But realistically the hope is that he gets his game back together and becomes something more like a 30 pt player for the next few years. If he does that, then that's really the best Tampa can realistically hope for at this point, isn't it? (And that's still a good player, btw.)They absolutely should. They traded an entire draft class for a guy who "might" top out as a 50 point player.
No Leafs fan should be shit talking this guy until the series is over. He'll be trash until he scores the series clinching goal.
Mike Milbury right there.Worst deal of the deadline?
Hard to bully the Leafs from the press box!I don't think Tampa traded for this guy for him to put up 10 goals in the post-season, they traded for him predominantly to bully the Leafs in the 1st round (and the Bruins in the 2nd round) and for his face-punching skills.
