Thread: Is one of Cernak or Cirelli on the way out
<div class="quote"><div class="quote_t">Quoting: <b>Rav</b></div><div>Cernak NTC. Plus if they trade him then they acquired Mac for no reason. Raddysh def a bad move here, hes producing way more than what his contract is worth. Everything else looks good here, would like to get more for perbix tho as he can be a 3rd liner on most teams in the NHL.</div></div>

None of Cernak, Cirelli, or Sergachev has protection until July 1st. Making them extremely easy to move before those clauses kick in. I find TBL fans delusionally optimistic about Stamkos' next contract. He can easily get $8m/yr. for at least a couple seasons. He's not signing &lt;$6m unless he is getting length in years that matches out the overall money. That leaves TBL with three tradeable assets to makeup enough money: Sergachev, Cernak, Cirelli. Personally, I don't like any of them at their cap hits. But I'm guessing with McDonagh back one of the dmen is getting moved.

Thread: WAY TOO EARLY STRESS - DRAISAITL AND BOUCHARD
<div class="quote"><div class="quote_t">Quoting: <b>palhal</b></div><div>True, but that's the nature of free agency. Let's imagine with the cap rising and McDavid gets 18m. Is team better having one McDavid and two 1m players (20m total). or having a 7m centre and two 6m Dmen. But you're right having the GM "doing the right thing" is the anxiety.
For instance, Marner and Tavares are UFAs in summer of 2025. That's 22m to spend. I don't feel Trevling is capable, especially when he already gave Nylander a "hometown premium" on his new contract.</div></div>

We'll see what happens with the Tavares case, but if Canada is taxing bonus money as well, Canadian markets are going to become very unfavorable for players. Especially compared to income tax free US state markets.

Thread: just because
<div class="quote"><div class="quote_t">Quoting: <b>Celtics21</b></div><div>Hertl had 6 years left on his contract, which is almost exactly the same situation because you were talking about money.

All the other stuff are new parts to your argument. It’s a fair argument to say it’s worth waiting to see if PLD can recover his status as promising young player. That might be difficult playing on the third line.</div></div>

Those are relevant factors to a player getting traded, especially with this amount of retention. I agree with that last sentence. Even if Dubois is the best 3C in the league, it's a waste of cap hit to have him playing 3C. Which is why I never understood LAK interest in him in the first place as they have two superior all around centers. They should have him playing winger in the top 6 at least.
