That was a joke, Stamkos isn’t retiring. Just throwing that out there so people can stop discussing his potential “retirement”.

My guess is that they trade Johnson eventually with some retention, trade Cirelli for futures (or take offer sheet compensation if someone goes there), give Serge a Point-type deal and ask Cernak to take the “LaBanc Special”.

If you read between the lines on the recent Athletic article about the Canes draft, it sounds like they've been making internal plans to make a run for Stamkos should he be made available.

I think they move older guys Johnson or Killorn, with sweeteners, and if unavoidable, maybe slight retention.
They path to another Cup, seems to me, requires keeping the younger core guys, Point and Cirelli, and Cernak and likely Serg, etc

And youre literally making up scenarios in your head. What's insured? Wheres your link? Or are you saying you dont know, but YOU THINK x, y, or z
Palat will be playing for a new contract much sooner. Gourde and Johnson don’t have to worry about that until the mid 2020s.
Vasilevsky to sabres for Hutton and Okposo. Possibly saves you guys cap, not really sure though.

They will be fine. They will lose some players but will still be a really good team. I think people need to be patient when it comes to their moves. Right now teams are paying a boat load to get rid of guys and aren't spending much on fa. I think we will see some movement spark up again and we will see some tb players moved. The market is not good right now, perhaps are waiting to see if a team gets desperate. Tb has a great players. Having a good player from a cup team is valuable. Some team will see the value in that and pull the trigger.
Tb is doing the right thing by waiting right now. Market sucks and it could still stay that way but a desperate team or two could come along wanting to improve their team while others are idle. Not saying this is how it goes but I could see it go this way. Either way tb moves a few guys and we will still be a good team next year contending for a cup.

Beats me. I’m surprised Killorn hasn’t been moved yet. I thought he would for a modest return. Maybe he’ll require a sweetener.
Johnson will require a massive sweetener so I doubt he goes. Guess they could waive Gourde but it likely ends the same way as Johnson.
bizarre situation. Very much still unresolved.
I still see them losing one of Cernak or Cirelli. Either would fetch a nice return... I think.
And they’ll trade Killorn before the season.
Johnson and Gourde will be with Tampa another season.
their best case scenario they’ll move Johnson and Killorn for value, even minor value, definitely won’t play out.

What would Tampa want from the Canes for Palat (if he were willing to waive)?
They probably don't want to give up a first or a prospect .
But they will eventually.

Well technically they don't have to resign Sergachev, Cernak, or Cirelli, so technically they are compliant. But resigning those guys likely puts them over $10m over the cap ceiling, so something has to give.

I wonder if Sakic is still considering a move for Cirelli or Cernak. It would require moving one one or more of Compher/Donskoi/Cole/Calvert though and the price to move those contracts might be prohibitive. But either one of those two would be big additions.

I'm not sure how "waiting" is a good strategy for the TBL. There's been a lot of player movement through trade and free agent signings already leaving teams with less cap space to work with and fewer players that need to get signed. The waiting game will favor the buyer in this case, not the seller imho.

It is very unlikely that the injury holds him out permanently. But as a Stamkos fan, you learn that anything can happen.

All NHL deals are insured(I believe Nathan Horton was an exception) and all players are paid in full when on LTIR. Get yourself educated before lipping off
Edit, even more hilarious I was in a sense agreeing with what you had replied to another poster.

Not much to do until day one of the regular season, when they receive offer sheets for Cirelli/Sergachev/Cernak and are forced to waive Killorn and whichever of Gourde, Palat, Coburn etc. to get compliant.

Yzerman isn't that dumb, Maybe it's a move Holland makes but not Yzerman.
