There is nothing realistic about Tampa trading Cirelli

That doesn't get you Chychrun and he doesn't play RD

Yeah, these are not realistic. I don’t think your off on value on the Pittsburgh trade, it just won’t happen. The Jackets won’t trade with Pittsburgh being rival and Pittsburgh needs their 1st because they are beginning to see their window with Crosby starting to close. Tampa would need a lot more to move Cirelli. Unlike people on here I think the would if the right deal came up just don’t think that is it. As far Chychurn goes, the Jackets aren’t trading Marchenko. They are very high on him. Chychurn really isn’t what the Jackets need on the backend.

Tampa counters with Cirelli for the 6th overall pick and small adds from both sides to even it up
