Might as well have tried burying Maroon in the minors instead of trading him with retention.

There is zero upside for Tampa in this trade.

Minnesota wins the trade.

Jokes on you, Tampa has scouted the next Nikita Kucherov and will be taking him with that 2024 7th rounder

Huh??? Maroon's entire contract can be buried in the minors. Now we actually get a cap penalty. And we lose an okay prospect too. And for absolutely nothing? What am I missing here? It's not like this was a huge loss but why is JBB just tossing $200k of cap space in the trash?

Probably did Maroon a solid instead of burying him in the minors. He'll get to play in Minny as he'll be the Reaves replacement.

That's actually the next Palat he was the 7th rounder in the draft 150 picks after Kucherov and Namestnikov in that draft pretty damn good.

Had no idea the Bolts got Kucherov AND Palat in the same draft... Talk about an all-timer

Like 4 guys who had NHL careers of 100+ games Vladdy Namestnikov, a Defenseman I can't remember and am too lazy to look up.

Then Minnesota would have picked him up on waivers if they’re actually willing to put him on an NHL roster and he didn’t make the Lightning’s. And we wouldn’t have had to burn $200k in cap space and lose a prospect. I have no idea why we had to pay to do this.

I guess maybe the fear was that someone higher in the waiver order where Maroon doesn’t want to go was going to take him and the Lightning were just doing Maroon a big favor by letting him go where he wants even though no playoff team wanted him at $1m? I don’t know. I find it hard to believe that Minnesota is not burying him but wasn’t willing to pay $1m and demanded a prospect.

This is what happens when you have to make cap trades instead of hockey trades.

Yeah, but they traded their "glue guy" for peanuts.
Minnesota easily wins this wild deal.
