Keep Gourde and don’t sign Granlund. Gourde is one of the most effective bottom 6 forwards in the league.

while i agree, the cap says no

Tampa won’t be paying Seattle to take Killorn. They’ll be keeping Gourde, as they have no interest in Granlund over him. Coleman will get overpaid by someone and likely walks in free agency. If Tampa can keep Savard then maybe they trade Rutta, but I believe they’ll want defensive depth and Rutta is solid when he’s not injured. Tampa buys out Johnson rather than pay this kind of price to move him, trades one of Killorn or Palat for value, and makes a deal with Seattle to take McD. They then can re-sign everyone except Coleman or Savard, plus get a reasonable 3LD like Kulikov or someone similar in free agency. Tampa will be tight against the cap again, but nothing they won’t figure out.

Yea it does. Don’t resign one of Coleman or Goodrow and let a young forward like ABB be inserted. I’d much rather have Gourde than either one of Coleman or Goodrow
