Quoting: MisstheWhalers
Its not though, Copp is so very overrated, Toews went for two 2nds, this is that trade with a couple extras that don't have a lot of value thrown in and if you're comparing it to an offersheet you shouldn't cause Sergachev isn't signing an offersheet with the Jets.
yeah sure thing there agent.
When TB is like sorry we have no cap....but WPG or any other team is offering him 4.3 million. He's gonna be gone out the door.
Your logic is so flawed it's not even funny.
If any team wanted him all they have to do is OS. They don't have to work a trade for him. They simply force you into signing him. You are in no position to sign all 3.
Hell you are the kind of fan who went around saying "we can easily dump Johnson." You couldn't even give him away for free on waivers. No one was touching that contract.
But you laughably think you got room to negotiate on anything.
Like I said. Teams right now are working on their RFAs. When that's done the amount of money on the pot is going to be slim to none. Don't expect many ways to dump camp here in TB. Any team is looking at what you are offering for these players and saying, I can just OS who I want.
Believe me when you want a 4th to dump Kilorn and are only paying Cirelli 4.5, teams will gladly so no thanks, and then offer Cirelli 4.3 when TB can't match.
Teams who have any cap space right now after their RFAs are done, are going to want payment in form of 1st round picks + to dump these long over bloated contracts on guys who aren't that good. AKA Johnson, Gourde, even Kilorn. who;s the best of the bunch but is 31, at 4.5 mil and has 3 seasons left.
Your coop is over rated argument doesn't even matter. He's 1/2 the cap hit and 1 year.
