Thread: Offer Sheet Threat
<div class="quote"><div class="quote_t">Quoting: <b>herzausstein</b></div><div>Why would Nashville trade Evangelista unless it was as part of a package for a positional upgrade? Good rookie season, cost controlled, nashville needs that kind of player. Even if they get marner/necas/etc, they need more than 1 line with players that can score. Currently the top 6 wings are forsberg, nyquist (35 at start of next season and last year of contract), Evangelista, and freaking Jankowski. We grab marner and Jankowski can go to the bottom 6 where he belongs.

Harris also doesn't make a ton of sense for Nashville. Our defensive pipeline is filled with sub 6 ft dmen. Stastney is basically our in house version if Harris and we already know he works in our system well. Then we have Molendyk and Del gaizo knocking on the door behind him. Maybe a swap for fabbro but I doubt that makes sense for Montreal.</div></div>

Seems fair. I will remove the evangelista trade then.

<div class="quote"><div class="quote_t">Quoting: <b>Boltsbeathabs</b></div><div>1) Stamkos comes in around 5.5-6 max could he get more on the open Market yes will he demand it from TB NO. .
Steven Stamkos from his exit interview "Kuuch is massively underpaid 9.5 Heddy making less than 8 is massively underpaid Pointer at 9.5 it's the players wanting to be here and knowing what it takes to win it's the culture here." It's s not just about me anymore I have a young family with roots planted here and it's my priority to stay as I've said many times." What he didn't say in the first quote was he started that culture. What about that makes you think the money is a priority?
Also you don't think maybe Cernak not Cirelli gets moved or if the right packe is offered a Sergachev. . Is Toronto the only team they could trade Cirelli too. This is a complete garbage return that get Brad Treliving laughed at and hung up on if he were a big enough douche to make that pathetic an offer!!!</div></div>

Of course I did, but both Cernak and Sergachev have NTC after July 1, 2024, and I don't see this getting solved before then.

How many years are you giving Stammer at 5.75AAV? (Because on open market he is easily making 3m more AAV)

(Anywho, I would start looking at your 3c center options, so you can move Nicholas Paul up to your 2c and trade Cirelli.)

I compiled a list of the options for players under 3.25m as a 3c (excluding Kämpf ofc)

This is what the Lightning can afford:

1. Sharangovich from the Flames at 3.1m
2. Ryan Mcleod from Oilers at 2.1m
3. Pius Suter from Canucks at 1.6m
4. Nicolas Roy from Golden Knights at 3m
5. Casey Cizikas from Islanders at 2.5m
6. Scott Laughton from Flyers at 3m
7. Lars Eller from Penguins 2.45m
8. Nic Dowd from Capitals 1.3m
9. Connor Geekie from Bruins 2m
10. Ridley Greig from Senators at 900k

Ps. Propose a trade for what you would like for Cirelli.

<div class="quote"><div class="quote_t">Quoting: <b>Boltsradynasty</b></div><div>So what so they give a 2c away for a God awful deal ? seriously you don't think another team completely offer a way better package your either completely clueless or a complete clown troll. They aren't giving him away for a pile of **** optics be f***ING damned.. Duclair and Fluery are gone the left side is Hedman, Sergachev, McDonagh, Lilleberg. Stamkos isn't signing to play in the fishbowl that is Toronto. It's never going to happen . Serious question ? If he signs in Toronto would he be able to go to a park with his kids or a restaurant with.hus wife or the mall with his family and not be bothered by fans hounding for selfies and autographs? If the answer is no that's his answer to Toronto</div></div>

Stamkos will almost certainly not sign for 3m to stay in Tampa. Where he wants to go, I have no idea. Maybe he wants to bring the cup to his hometown. I am not his agent nor can I read Stammer's mind.

All I can say is that Tampa has 5m cap. They can't even sign a pile of **** if they wanted to at the moment. Maybe a grain of **** only instead. (A 7D and scraps off the waiver wire is what y'all can afford, and you still haven't replaced Stamkos.)

Looking forward to a fringe play off team.

<div class="quote"><div class="quote_t">Quoting: <b>Boltsradynasty</b></div><div>Spare parts sure as f*** aren't getting you Cirelli quality not quantity. This is a pile of 💩 offer</div></div>

Lightning are in cap hell. That McDonagh trade is gonna hurt. Although Cirelli's no trade clause only kicks in, in July 2025, if you trade him somewhere else, where he does not want to go, it looks really poor on the organization. The optics are terrible if you get a greater return from Utah or San Jose. If you push Cirelli's 6.25m cap on to Toronto, hometown boy returns &amp; A. Leafs can't sign Stamkos. B. The lightning can.

Stamkos is not signing for 3m. (And the three players I see Tampa re-signing are, Stamkos, Duclair and Fleury)

Unless the lightning retain around 750,000 to make Cirelli a 5.5m dollar player, Cirelli is an overpaid 2C/3C.
(Point as 1c, Nicholas as 2c, Kämpf as 3c, Glendenning as 4c)

it ain't pretty, but defensively focused teams, win cups, which is why Mcdonagh is back.

Imagine either Stamkos with Leafs or Cirelli with leafs. (If my captain defected to the leafs I'd be pissed.)
