Description

Not a lot of ACGMs talking about Tampa maybe needing to move Brayden Point. In two years he becomes $9M+++ in a cap world that won't look much different than today. Kunin is a good player who is affordable and can potentially play a top 6 role. TJ has a fairly large negative value right now, so that will offset what you could fetch for Point. So many other players with NTCs or NMCs...Tampa has very few choices.

Even with signing Cirelli and Cernak to team friendly deals, Tampa can still only afford to ice a 21 man roster with this deal.

Lol. Moving Brayden Point must be like a wet dream to Lightning haters. Moving Killorn alone allows Tampa to keep Sergachev and have a 21 player roster.

This is absolutely ridiculous. For one BriseBois said he was untouchable. He just lead the playoffs in goals scored. He is a top 7 center (which is the most valuable position in the league) and a top 25 player in the league. He is on a contract that's under 7mil and puts up 40 goals and 85 pts. Should a team that's contending in cap trouble really be trading that? I haven't even mentioned yet that he is still under 25. So what if he's gonna get 9+ in 2 years so what? That's in 2 years + he deserves it. Tyler Johnson's contract is bad, but throwing in one of the most valuable players in the league and getting a 3rd liner back? If Nashville was offered this they'd probably decline because they'd think it was a joke

If they move Killorn they could probably sign Cernak as well

He'd have to take something in the $1-1.5 million range, but yes that's possible too. I still think Johnson will be moved though, and it's probably going to cost us Alnefelt.
