At least Tampa isn't doubling down on an error like Carolina with KK.

Could’ve been a worse return for TB, they did alright

Surprised TB was able to get this much. Guentzel to Tampa maybe? (Please no I need him in Vancouver)

Tampa finally admits they shouldn't have traded for Jeannot.

Kings win.

I wish MTL made that deal to add some size with a buy low projet. Harder with a division rival anyway.

Habs should do the same with Josh Anderson. Sunk cost.

Walman is cap dump, Jeannot is traded for 2 good picks WTF!

Blake is on crack you just know it.

This is amazing for Tampa.

Jeannot is a very talented FOURTH LINER, paid over 2 million. That is generally a mistake as fourth liners only have so much impact. The fact that they got positive value is impressive. But a second? Woe

Great move for TBL

Can someone explain to me why people are voting TBL won here? They traded Cal Foote, ‘25 1st, ‘24 2nd, and 3rd, 4th, and 5th each in 2023 for Jeannot, and now have traded Jeannot for a ‘24 4th and ‘25 2nd

You're not voting for the first Jeannot trade. You're voting for the second one.

Just because Tampa lost the first trade doesn't mean trading and overpaid 4th liner with delusions of grandeur for a 2 and a 4 isn't a win when cap space is at a premium.

Because they're evaluating this trade in a vacuum (like they should). Much like the Kings "won" the PLD for Kuemper swap, the Kings still lost in the long run considering what they gave up for Dubois.

Tampa was able to get a 2nd and a 4th, without retention, out of an overpaid player that probably shouldn't have returned anything. That's a win.

Because we are judging the trade in a vacuum. TBL traded one asset today for more than market value.

You can galaxy brain any trade and say it was/wasn’t a good idea in the scheme of things.
You just have to look at a few Sabres fans here the last few days justifying passing on Buium/Dickinson.

Thank you both for your answers



Thank you as well

did no one tell LA they were suppose to get the picks?

They turned a 1st. 2nd. 3rd, 4th, 5th and 6th into a 2nd and 4th

All the other cap dumps going on around the NHL (Walman, Joseph, Faksa) are making this trade look better and better for Tampa.
