Description

And then makes a couple of moves to make the playoffs AND for the future

Keeping LD Johnson, forward prospects Kulich, Savoie and Rosen and plenty of cap.

Might seem steep, but with so much of the NHL team young/signed long term, theres just no way they can develop/find the minutes for all 4 forward prospects

Value is there, but Tampa would want a Dman back most likely

Yikes, Hart ain't close to that good, and the Sabres have 0 reason to pay that for a goalie. Jokiharju has been one of their best dmen, UPL has done a fairly good job this year, and Levi is having a decent run after his recall. That one is really rough. Tampa trade is pointless
