You're going to pay Galchenyuk more than Paul ? I think not.

paul gonna cost like 3m
chucky is bad, he couldnt produce with crosby or geno as his center
point does not belong at c3

Thats my bad put him at 2 . Chucky could be banking on a high point season with tampas talent to get a pay out at the end of the contract and i think paul will go elsewhere but could tke a paycut

Players take pay cuts at the end of their careers once they've made their money. This might be Paul's best opportunity to cash in.

Chucky has had his opportunities with elite talents. If he's taking a deal somewhere to try to restart his career, it would be for much less cash, and on a 1 year term, and then hope to cash back in.

Oh word. Did chucky tell you that's what he would do? Did he tell you where he's going to sign to??

Lol you're right, I don't know what Chucky will do.

But, there is no way a high end organization offers him $2x2 and hope he pans out. He can stay @ Arizona State for his 20 pts at that rate.

Who do you think they should go for to replace Palat , unless he take a huge pay cut to stay apart of there core and a franchise tbl( and tb will have to still make some room) they are going to need someone

What has set Tampa apart for the last 3-5 years is their ability to identify value players. Whether its in the draft, FA, or trade market.
1 player coming in to replace Palat and/or Paul is unlikely.

Along with some 32+yr old vets chasing a cup, Chucky could be one of the players that is brought in- but IMO, it would be @ less cash and lower starting position in the lineup. 3LW for 1 year 1.25 seems more appropriate to me.

If Paul is coming back, it's gotta be at least in the ballpark of $3mil.

past history says chucky gets no more than $1,000,000/yr if he signs with TB that seems to be the JBB way
