Killorn has far more value to Tampa than this, and Tampa should not be trading him without getting good value in return. If a deal around Johnson to Seattle isn’t reached by Wed morning, so be it. Let Seattle get their one player, whether that be a more expensive F like Palat, Killorn or Gourde, or a younger player like Foote or Joseph. If they do take Gourde, sure it sucks, but then you move Palat for value and just keep Johnson, who is a more than capable 3C or top 6 W. If they take a less expensive younger player, Brisebois still trades Palat for good value, then looks to see what interest there may be in Johnson or what it might cost to move him. If the price isn’t worth it, then you trade Killorn for good value and keep Gourde. Only if Tampa wants to keep the Coleman-Gourde connection going will they need to trade/have selected all 3 of Killorn, Palat and Johnson.
