Keeping Stamkos and Duclair

The idea of bringing back McDonagh is to fix how weak the defense was. Trading out Cernak just recreates that problem again, Especially since he is the only legitimate top 4 RD on the team.
Also 7 years at 6M for Stamkos is insane, he's 34.
Lastly a 20 man roster is not plausible

You and others seem to think Cernak is worth more than he is. Which is great if the rest of the league shares that opinion. He’ll be lucky to play another few years with how often he’s injured and he’s already brain dead on defense. It’s not the overall play so much as the frequency of costly mistakes. The other big issue is his cap hit. If he was at $3m or less I would’ve found someone else to move.

As far as stamkos, I just threw a number out there. He’ll retire when he retires. As for other roster players, I meant to shave enough from stamkos and duclair to fit lilleberg in.

IMO lilliberg and Raddysh are already better than Cernak.

Counter argument is Cernak out Mac and Sergy in. But I agree with you.

I would rather just play Sergy with Hedman and reunite Mac and Cernak. Should be able to move Sheary after June 25th
