Cirelli Contact is bad, but I think he has more value.

The value for Middleton may be fine, but there's just no reason for the Wild to do this.

Selling REALLY LOW on Cirelli in that deal. That right side of the D is still going to be a problem as well. Joki is not an answer for what ails the Bolts blue line.

Contracts a bit long and a little heavy on the AAV, but that 3C spot in the Sabres lineup will be locked down for a long time with a quality player.

Not that bad. He'll be 33 or so at the end of it. Although $6M+ for him is high, he checks the boxes.

i wouldnt say its too low. im sure we could get more from another team. maybe another prospect or draft pick going Tampa's way but 2 young players for roughly 75% of Cirelli's money helps Tampa alot. Tampa desperately needs a dman that can actually skate faster than my dead grandmother, Joki fits that and he can move the puck and would be a perfect fit along side a stay at home dman

Tampa declines on both the Cernak and Cirelli trades, Minnesota declines on the Middleton trade, but the Sheary and Jeannot ideas work.
