Thread: Trying something new with Cernak and Sam Dickinson
<div class="quote"><div class="quote_t">Quoting: <b>JTBF81</b></div><div>From a value perspective, it's not terrible. Tampa fans aren't kidding themselves about Jeannot, and most of us know that he's worth a mid round+maybe late round pick at this point, at best. Cernak is much harder to move though, as while he's not a top pairing RD, he's a very solid 2nd pairing caliber defensive dman, which Tampa is in short supply of. I think Tampa declines not because of value per say, but because they need to add another capable defensive RD this summer, not lose one.</div></div>

Thank you for the feedback! RD are very scarce so I wouldn't expect TBL to even move him. I just expect the Sens to strike out on a quality RD in free agency so we'll likely have to make a trade for one.

<div class="quote"><div class="quote_t">Quoting: <b>JTBF81</b></div><div>Tampa probably declines because of cap limitations, but not because Perbix is some high value piece. Moving him and Sheary allows Tampa to much more easily re-sign both Stamkos and Duclair, as well as having enough left over(after re-signing 3 other near league min contracts) to actually upgrade the 3RD spot. Whether that's with Dumba or another ufa in the 2.5-3 range, they can definitely upgrade there.</div></div>

Yeah that's basically the hope. Personally I'm indifferent on Perbix and don't mind him getting shipped out, same time I don't mind a reasonably cheap cost effective RD that plays great in sheltered minutes either. Smith, at this point I'm not sure if he's salvageable or has any values but I just don't know if he'd even address a need for us aside from the caphit being the biggest turn away.
