Sure too bad Cirelli isn't signing for 1 x 1 that's a total joke he came in 4th in the Selke vote 1 x 1 for Cirelli is a royal joke.

They only need 1 of them to do so

Why would either of them do it... Tampa can’t afford the mythical raise you teasing them with in the following year...

All they need the next year is johnson gone and it can work

NSH is in on Hoffman. If they sign him this fairytale of Killorn to NSH is over.
Hoffman probably comes in at 2-3 years at 3 to 3.5 million.
The only reason he's no signed yet is he doesn't like the offers, but no one is giving him a better one.
Teams aren't worried about helping TB right now. They are more worried about their own internal issues. A. signing RFA. B. Making sure their prospects who are basically NHL ready are getting ice time and playing time somewhere. With no CHL, anyone up there who is 18-19 years old, who looks even remotely capable of playing, has just as good a chance of making an NHL roster. Because everyone knows they aren't going to develop as players by not playing. If the option is between them sitting for the year and giving them a roster spot, they are most likely getting a roster spot. Their 6-8 minutes on the ice isn't going to kill a team, if anything it's a chance for them to prove something. But them not playing a year is definitely damaging to teams long term plans.

Don't think Lyon is going anywhere. He's Flyers call up goalie if Hart or Moose get hurt.

13 players on the roster and 8m in cap. You move Johnson and you now have 12 players and 13m to play with and Foote boulet and Cirelli needing new deals. Meaning after you sign those 3 you still need to sign or promote a minimum of 6 more players. Not impissible but not much better than this seasons outlook.

My opinion is they will need to trade one of sergachev or Cirelli. Either that or move some major long term salary. They have done nothing so far.
