Description

Not every team will be able to afford cap dump trades. Therefore, this far fetched idea could become a reality. Here is the analysis on each move:

Tyler Johnson trade: Quite simple, actually. Cap dump trade to a team that could afford it, and they don’t have to give much up.

Killorn trade: Package him along with a good prospect for a mid round pick. And why not reunite the Foote brothers.

RFA contracts: They all sign deals that put them into their primes where they can make a lot more money when the team can find more cap space.

Waiver moves: I don’t see any team being able or wanting to bring in Gourde, so he will have to be placed on waivers to gain cap space. The same thing can happen to McElhinney and Coburn. Again, it’s all because of cap space.

Kovalchuk signing: Very cheap option that could be a deadly asset for TBL. He would be willing to take a very cheap deal to try and win the cup, while also being able to play a big roll in a championship run.

Wings pass,tb in a cap crunch and tj is declining faster then the titanic. It's a first a 3rd and a top prospect or they can keep him

Not enough to move Johnson unless Yzerman wants to help his old team. Highly doubt Foote gets moved, they only have Cernak on the right side and he's on ELC, they'll keep him.

Detroit declines, it would take a 2021 1st round pick plus a 2nd round pick or very good prospect to move Tyler johnson's contract.

Not even close to enough to move TJ. Pure fantasy. He has 4 years left. There are a lot of sellers and almost no buyers, so it is a massive buyers market. I would be surprised if they can move him at all. Killorn will also not be that easy to move either. Tampa will be losing good players.

I agree but it doesn't matter because Johnson isn't waiving for Detroit.
