yeah, vegas is in enough trouble...and you cant just LTIR Johnson.
No one wanted Johnson on waivers, so I think it'll cost a good youngster. Earlier I proposed Johnson and RFA RD Cernak (I don't think he signs for just 1.5mil for 1 year when hedman, macdonaugh and sergachev get big bucks for long term) to Philly for a 2nd, prospects Wyatt Wylie and Isaac Ratcliffe and a bit more.
I think cernak gets about 2mil or more for say 3 years, hes what PHI needs, but for TB it brings in two good prospects, a 2nd and maybe another pick, but creates over 7mil in cap.
Doesn't mean Stamkos wont still get dealt, but it allows cirelli and sergachev resignings, also allows a UFA pickup on defense for 2-3mil, ceci, vatanen kind of pickup
