I accidentally made this twice

Tampa might move Johnson for space but they can still get a real return for him. They don't have to trade from as desperate a position as some other teams do.

I feel like teams will make them desperate cuz they can just say no to deals that have them giving up too much and Tampa really wants to keep Sergachev. We'll see tho

That doesn't work with a player as good as Johnson. Someone will just bid more feeling it's too good for them to care about TB and the price will drive itself.

it works much better with something like the Marleau dump or what Van will have to do with a guy like Sutter. Because the main piece isn't the prize.
