Gallant won't be our coach. He is to similar to Sutter, and would be hated in the room.

Anyway Buffalo declines pretty easily

I don't know enough about Peterka to evaluate that trade.

I don't think you'll be getting a 2nd for Vladar, more likely a 3rd. I'm pretty sure Tampa will try to sign Brossoit first, and only then go for a trade.

Rooney definitely won't fetch you any assets, he will stay buried. Likely you'd need to move him and a B prospect/ 5th round pick just for someone to take him.

As for Bertuzzi we have too many LW as is. Huberdeau, Mangiapane, Pelletier, Coleman(can play RW but shoots left), plus Dube/Ruzicka play on the left side when they switch to the wing.

Buffalo hangs up pretty quickly imo

TB doesn't have the cap space to add a 2.2 million dollar backup goalie

Interesting but unlikely ideas

Buffalo turns that down easily. Dude is 34 years old. What’s he going to play like 1-2 more years. I’m not trading a big piece of our future for an old vet
