Thread: Is one of Cernak or Cirelli on the way out
<div class="quote"><div class="quote_t">Quoting: <b>StutzlesNumber1Fan</b></div><div>Depends who you ask. I've seen other Bolts fans saying Cirelli is available so idk lol</div></div>

From what I've been reading and seeing, the TB fans who have no idea how the salary cap works believe that Cirelli and Cernak aren't moving. Anyone with a brain can understand that Cirelli is overpaid. He just doesn't give you the offensive play that you expect a 2nd liner to do with Stammer/Hagel. 2nd line C for 6.5m + should be producing 60-70 points.. and be able to play defense since he is a C. If you can't find that in a player, then take 800k and resign Motte who can do it defensively like Cirelli and use the remaining of his contract to get more offensive.

Thread: Proving someone wrong
<div class="quote"><div class="quote_t">Quoting: <b>Boltsbeathabs</b></div><div>No I'm assuming he comes back because as he's said thousands of times "I WANT TO BE HERE MY ENTIRE CAREER" ALSO BECAUSE HE SAID "IT'S NOT JUST ABOUT ME ANYMORE, I HAVE A YOUNG FAMILY WHO'S PLANTED ROOTS HERE. " ALSO "I LOVE THE AREA THIS HAS BECOME HOME"
He also remembers an 18/19 yo Steven Stankos playing regularly with Marty and Vinny.</div></div>

Ah ok, so 0 effort into truly trying to figure a way to make the team better.. just resigning people and expecting prospects who have never played a game in the NHL to jump onto the 2nd and 3rd line. You really are making your case here my friend. Why don't you atleast try to make the team better rather than argue with people online who are trying to come up with scenarios for fun? The entire purpose of this is to develop a team that works within the NHL cap system, yet you didn't even attempt to make the team better... you made the worse... yet arguing with me that I traded Cirelli who is by far the most expendable player on the roster since he produced a mere 50 points at best playing with some of the games best players. Cirelli is a glorified 3rd liner with 20 goal potential. He just happened to land into a good team and system to be TB 2nd line center, but surrounded by Killorn, Hagel, Stamkos his entire career.

<div class="quote"><div class="quote_t">Quoting: <b>OldNYIfan</b></div><div>Over the last two seasons with us, Frankie V has scored 101 points. Over the last two seasons with Tampa, which some subtle indications suggest was a better team than Anaheim, Cirelli scored 74. This trade saves the Lightning $2.6 million in cap space and thereafter gets them out of Cirelli's $6.25 million cap hit entirely. So even if we needed and/or wanted a $6.25 million #3C, we wouldn't be the team adding the third-round draft pick even if it was #79 instead of #66.</div></div>

Well said, I don't follow ANA closely enough to break that down. Ideally I would be looking to trade Cirelli for a cheaper player who can score points on a 1-2 year deal. Doesn't exactly have to be Vatrano or ANA.
