Tampa declines. Cirelli isn't taking an OS from Buffalo or anywhere else if we're dealing with reality. Tampa isn't interested in moving young core pieces for 1sts based on their current win now position, and as evidenced by them trading 2 1sts for depth pieces that help cap wise. If Tampa was looking to trade Cirelli, and especially to a division rival, if would take more than a 1st and 3rd. If the trade offer from Buffalo doesn't start with either Cozens or Jokiharju, Brisebois isn't seriously considering it. Realistically and most likely, Cirelli will bridge in the 4 range, and then he'll get paid on a long term deal when the cap is higher and he's earned the big 8 year deal from Tampa.
