JTM has always been a good player. He was buried in the lineup in TB.

Having to trade him away is the price you pay for resigning and giving NTC to every player worth a damn over the past 5 years. Maybe next time give TJ a 3 year deal not a 7 year deal

Funny how you usually overpay for outside free agents coming in to an organization .. Tampa the opposite .. overpay home grown mediocre players to prevent free agents to make your team better... you are forced to do budget moves like Maroon and Shatterkirk .. moves I like BTW but there is no other options cause of internal shrimp overpayment

God im so glad i took Miller in the last round of both of my fantasy drafts this year. Really underrated player.

On another note, for the trade, due to tampa being so close to the contract cap you will have to add in an AHL player/prospect or 2 (flames have room). Would Spencer be available? Otherwise love the trade, TyJo would/should fit so nicely with tkachuks line

Very interesting! I think Bowman does that to a certain extent too. Seabrook, Bickell, and even a few lower contracts like Panik.

It was one game for Miller, let's see how his whole season goes. I wish Tampa had kept him as well and traded Gourde, but he was never going to get the top 6 minutes consistently that he deserved bc of both his own inconsistent play and bc Cooper doesn't know how to lead this team effectively. Johnson isn't waiving and we are never "burying him in Syracuse" as has been suggested multiple times by one person if a guy won't waive his ntc. Johnson may be lost to the expansion draft, but until then don't see him leaving Tampa. Gourde, Killorn and Palat all got fair contracts when they signed them and in order to get them to take those numbers, ntc's were added. Gourde may be a few hundred k overpaid, but nothing outrageous. It's the tradeoff for getting players on deals less than they would've received from other teams.

Wow .. I nominate you King of Disneyland .. I just hope you are young and don't work with heavy machinery

Your opinions are always good for a laugh on here Boltlover, since you spout the same hilarity everytime you post in any thread. You get back to us when any of your so called "overpaid internal shrimps" are buried in Syracuse or waive NTC's to go somewhere less appealing this season. Maybe next offseason at best and even then only Killorn is likely getting traded.

Sorry Mr. Disneyland .. I feel bad for fans who just are 100% fans regardless of outcome .. I puke on that thought some life advice for you.. life is not an intramural sport .. dont like the game; change the friggen game
