Tampa Bay Challenge

Created by: OldNYIfan
Team: 2020-21 Tampa Bay Lightning
Initial Creation Date: Mar. 19, 2020
Published: Mar. 19, 2020
Salary Cap Mode: Basic
Description
1. Assume none of the guys with no-trade clauses waives.

2. Construct a 23-man roster for next year.

Don't waste our time with $4 million figures for Cirelli or Sergachev or $1.75 million for Cernak.

Note that replacing some of the Stiffs with $750 or $850 guys might allow you to put Cernak in there.

Move Point for Half-retained Staal+Kaprizov+1st.

Literally the only player with no NTC or NMC to move, aside from their RFAs.

Note that replacing all my $1 million stiffs with $700 stiffs brings the roster in at $81.8 million.

And then teams O/S Cirelli at 6M, Serg at 6.5M and Cernak at 4M....That's TyJo, Palat, and Gourde gone...

And you just assume that A. The cap is staying at 81.5, B. These players are taking offer sheets when like 1 has happened in a decade and C that Tampa won't convince them to take bridge deals for less to remain on one of the top 5 teams in the league in a great location with no state tax, especially when Tampa has done this for quite a few years. I'll take my chances the pattern continues before I buy they are taking a rare OS from a lesser contender in a higer taxed and worse weather location. Killorn, Paquette and Coburn will be moved saving almost 8 million and even after adding in a couple 800k or so guys Tampa can make at least a 21 man roster work at 84 million, which is the only real number we've heard so far. Tampa has gone with 22 most of this year, so if they have to roll 21 for a bit, I'm sure they'll take that trade in order to keep the key players.

And if Killorn and Coburn refuse to go?

Killorn doesn't have ultimate say in that, and while Coburn does, players waiving an ntc is far more common than all these OS I see guaranteed that Cirelli, Serg and Cernak are taking. If Tampa absolutely had to they could waive or buy out Coburn to save some, but I don't believe it gets to that.

Offer sheets are silly. But if Cirelli, Cernak and Sergachev get paid market value, two of Gourde, Johnson and Palat have to go somehow.

Just noticed that CapFriendly spells the name of Killorn's home town with two "L"s.

Right, but what Tampa considers market value is far different than what Toronto, Boston, NY might see as market value. That's why Cirelli is likely to get a very similar cap hit as what TJ or Palat received on their 1st non elc, around 5% of the cap. Cirelli is very comparable stats wise as they were at this point and so a 3 year deal at 4 to 4.25 won't surprise anyone in Tampa, with 4.5 max. Serg will end up around 4.5 to 4.75, as in this case McAvoy and Werenski took 4.9 or 5 and with Tampa getting rfa's to take a little less, 4.5 to 4.75 is in the range. Cernak is the wild card but given his up and down play this year, a deal in the 2 million range could be reasonable, but he could get a little more. I think they keep them all but if one must go, it's a no brainer that it's the 2nd pair ceiling d over the likely top pair d and emerging 2 way 2C with 1C potential.
