Description

Hypothetically if all their RFAs got max level offer sheets that they'd probably sign for.

Not taking NTCs into account in this post because let's face it the NTC players are the one TB would be moving in this kind of circumstance.

Change the 1st to a 3rd and then we'll talk. Tampa should keep Foote and not use him to get rid of a bad contract. Stralman is a 3rd pair D, Schenn is a 8th D and not sure if Bahl is ready. In " worst case scenarios ", isn't it more likely all RFAs get bridge deals?

Why would Tampa trade Foote? They could just keep him and us him on D. Trading gourde would be easier than TJ so dump moore for like a 3rd + spec and the trade gourde for little return instead of having to lose Foote who they would desperately need here.

I know it’s worse case but dumping moore and gourde together is super unlikely and hurts you more than splitting them

Lol no. With Moore coming back as a bad contract BOS will be adding to the pile. That's how dealing with division rivals work.

Strålman works with Sergachev as the 2nd pair D just fine. Schenn is a placeholder D.

By worst case scenario I put the maximum offer sheet contracts with the known compensation for those guys. I do believe that Tampa will re-sign the guys with bridge deals but it's not the point of this post.

Tampa isn't trading Foote, They will need some of their cheap ELCs, Doubt Boston has the cap space for Ryan McDonagh. And that Gourde contract is brutal doubt the Devils have any interest in him.
