the sens would just trade you for his rights before they give the their next years first. Same with detroit 100% and jersey

I don't see any of those teams risking next years 1st

He won't be available via trade or many would be offering. I'd certainly hope the Rangers would go for it. But the point of this was to show all the crazies out there the price of these guys if a OS existed. Anything lower will be matched by TB

I agree. But too many posting OS at low prices

Wouldn't give all this up for serg. Next year could be a top 3 pick. Would trade for serg, but not doing an os for him

I'm not sure where you get the idea that we'll do a complete rebuild in a few years.

That's sort of the point. People keep posting OS that are way too low

No one said TB is planning on doing a rebuild...... Was simply stating that you could rebuild/replace the missing pieces with all the picks that would be returned..

"Then next season its a full rebuild of youth or assets to acquire 1OA and 2OA and maybe 3OA"

Oh man, so I'm saying with all those picks in 2021 you will either have a massive stock of youth or you could convert all those picks into the top pick via trades. You understand what I'm saying right?
Minor system is full of 11 solid player and a few could potentially make the big show that year or next
or
They upgrade all those picks to get next years LAF, Stutze and Byf

SERG is the real possibility here for 7M plus offer sheet .. NJ Montreal Edmonton come to mind.. a 1D with PP skills for a young team .. he is 100% worth 2 #1s which Tampa needs as they gave up 3 for Colemen amd Goodrow

I don't create the compensation for OS.. That's a set compensation 1st, 2nd and 3rd.

Yes and 7M is 2#1s....

Not according to this site and others. What's your source?

I think if Cernak moves, its below the compensation threshold. It would be in an effort to clear up additional money for Cirelli and Sergachev. losing those two would be much more detrimental. Furthermore, he may be worth 4.5mm but hes probably not worth an unprotected 1st and 3rd. If I am breisbois I honestly would rather give up cernak for a a second or less if it means getting to keep one of the other two.

Equally, If one of the other two go, I would put my money on another team trading for their rights, which allows them to work outside of those compensation bands. The worst possible scenario for the bolts would probably be losing them for picks only. Picks, that wont even be made until a year from now. That said, somebody calls bresibois and says "hey I dont want to offer sheet your guy if we dont have to. lets work something out where I can give you the roster players you need, and I dont have to give up predetermined (and unprotected) picks," I feel like that would be less painful. If a team like the devils says, 'Ill give you 18 and 20 plus severson or butcher 50% retained,' I think that is a lot more attractive to the lightning than a 2021 1st that could be anywhere between 1-31, and a 3rd rounder.
