As much as it isn;t going to be BUF and Eichel, I cant see TB moving Cirelli AND 2 1sts and 2 2nds, you are creating a huge problem in the future where you'll need some ELC and youth. I mean look at those draft picks! Youre kind of killing the youth system for 2023-2026 and you're not even looking at deadline deals or possibly other injuries.
I think they might have to go another way, and maybe move a dman to fix the offense. But then some of the dmen are too expensive for most.
Wouldn;t a Cernak, RD 2.95mil bring back a top 6 winger who is cost controlled and young?
I mean these are rough ideas, and PHI has Ellis and Ristolenin but wouldn;t a Cernak for Koneckny type deal be better for TB than gutting the system. Or a cirelli and cernak to TOR for Nylander and Holl.
Or TB makes a few small moves and just takes their lumps until Kucherov returns?
