Could Tampa fit Panarin Trades with NYR - CAR - FLA - DAL

Created by: Zwui21

Team: 2019-20 Tampa Bay Lightning

Initial Creation Date: May 13, 2019

Published: May 13, 2019

Salary Cap Mode: Basic

Description

Wouldn't it be great if the Lightning could finally give Stamkos a good winger to play 5v5 hockey with? It definitely would, as this could be what makes Tampa takes the next step (IMO).
But could Tampa afford a top UFA this summer? The answer is "Ehhhh, probably not."
Even in a best case scenario where Point sign a bridge deal, Killorn and Tyler Johnson waive their clause and get traded + Callahan gone, the cap would be too little in projection to the 2020 offseason, where Vasi, Sergachev and Cirelli have to be re-signed. And the Dcore would also be too short come next season.

The only way I see Tampa being able to commit to another big contract is getting rid of all Killorn, Tyler Johnson and Palat + one of Gourde/Miller. And we are obviously never gonna see so much change during one single offseason (even if I personally think Killonr, Johnson and Palat are the weak links in the Lightning chain and would love to get rid of them).

Ah yes, bring in the guy that pissed off the Lightning fanbase and Kucherov. Great idea.

The Panthers are t going to help you get Panarin, as they are going to sign both him and Bobrovsky.

I don’t see the need for the Canes to trade a developing stud offensive defenseman who’s young and RFA for many years to come for Miller’s contract.

I like Miller, and think he’d fit in on the Canes, but the Canes could get equal production for much cheaper than Miller.

Panarin and Kucherov are good friends, what do you even mean. Not because of an awkward handshake that they are now enemies lol

1. Doesn't these moves suck the depth out of the team? They used to have 3 strong lines, now TBL would have 2 strong lines, and some maybes on the 3rd and 4th lines. As BOS is showing, you need at least 3 lines (if not all 4) to succeed.

2. That doesn't fix the D (which I believe was the biggest issue this post season). It's still a 1.5 line d-core.

3. Not that it matters much in this scenario, but I think Point is closer to 8.5 than 7.

1. I agree with you, adding a big contract would definitely suck the depth out of the team.
In my opinion Tampa this season had 4 strong lines, not three. But this was mainly due to some players on every single line standing out and elevating their linemates game. Players like Palat and Johnson are holding back the line they play on instead of helping it succeed.

2. Absolutely. In fact this was just a mock to see if it would be possible for Tampa to get a top UFA this summer and what would be the outcome. In my opinion BriseBois should target a RHD with some term left on his contract (I'm in love with what Colin Miller could bring + his term and AAV) in order to have one very very solid top 4.

3. Ehh, it depends. This is a bit coming from today's article of TheAthletic, where Lightning's beat writer Joe Smith discusses Brayden Point situation and future contract:
In talking with Point and his agent Gerry Johannson during the season, a few key points came into play. Point’s main priority is staying (and winning) in Tampa Bay, which would require him making it work in Tampa Bay’s cap structure. They’re open-minded when it comes to contract length. That doesn’t mean Point won’t look for the best deal, but there will have to be compromise on both ends to make this work long-term.

“It’s about winning, taxes, quality of life, and where you want to be,” Johannson said. “Players ultimately want to do what they want to do. I always say, ‘The best deal is not always the most money, the best deal is the best deal.”
Time will tell
