TB gets next to nothing for Cirelli. Hunt is 7D/waiver fodder player, Menell is in the KHL for a couple years. Letting Cirelli walk on an OS for just a 2nd is a better deal for them. You've just signed Cirelli to a contract with a 1st and a 3rd if it was an OS. Send TB something of that value and they might listen, not a couple guys who might be worth a combined 3rd and a 5th.
Talbot isn't getting traded, he was just signed.
Not many teams around that could take $6m in cap from Dumba and not send anything back. Hartman at $2m is reasonable to be able to get rid of.
