That 3rd line trade looks awful.

Columbus isn't giving a first for MORE 3rd line wingers

yep barbanov and mikeyv would be excellent third line wings but as a center barbanov would not do so well.

Columbus needs zero winger, so omit both Kappy and Johnsson.

Maybe you shoulf wait a bit with Barabanov, how many time a players have cross to North America and doesn’t even make it to Christmas. He might be good or he might be forgotten by november.

That’s a no from Columbus. Not give a 1st for more 3rd liners... we need a second line center. You don’t have one to offer....

Not sure on the third line

people said the same thing about mikeyv until they realized that if he played out the full season he may have got 45 points. Eronko said it himself he will do fine on the thirdline and is a hard working puck moving beast. He should do fine here especially if Mikeyv returns next season as the chemistry between the 2 will be intriguing.

What about Jiri Sekac, Sergei Plotnikov, Bogdan Kiselevich, Roman Cervenka, Linus Omark, Anton Slepyshev and the list goes on. People must temper their
Expectations

Congrats, you sabotaged yourself

Not really TBay will match one of the offers.

Sure dude too bad Toronto isn't in position to be offer sheeting both Cernak and Sergachev, Toronto is in cap hell just as much as Tampa. They just don't have high price RFAs to sign like Tampa but they're still cap strapped with a lot of high contracts.
