When you just traded this:

- Round 1 selection (014 overall)
- Round 1 selection (016 overall) *estimate*
- Round 2 selection (048 overall) *estimate*
- Round 3 selection (083 overall)
- Round 4 selection (115 overall)
- Round 5 selection (147 overall)

for a guy you could re-sign for 2.6 million

and everyone still thinks you overpaid

You know you dun messed up.

So did Coleman and Goodrow been they joined prior to the COVID stoppage. It's actually fairly common for a guy to struggle when first joining a team. Besides that he was injured severe high ankle sprain is extremely painful.

I don't think it's right to say that the package included a 14th overall pick. The fact that Foote was the 14th overall pick in 2017 doesn't mean he's equivalent to that now. Nashville let him go without a qualifying offer, so apparently he was the least valuable part of the package, not the most valuable as your list would have us believe.

However, even if you strike him from the list, I still see your point.

Two points:

1.) Neither player got a raise based on their performance after a partial season Tampa Bay. In fact, both only played one more season there before Tampa let them walk and their new contracts were seen as mistakes right from the start, so that doesn't bode well for Jeannot.

2.) Jeannot played more games in the regular season than both of those players combined. He should have had more progress by the playoffs.

Initial reaction to this deal

And what makes it worse is if Colton signs for like 2.9mill

Oh man. I really don't like this one. JBB doubling down on a bad bet.
Can Colton get 5mil? That'd be great.

Wow… if something happens to Vasy, Tampa will be stuck with a bunch of bad contracts and a non-playoff team. Yikes. They were in better hands with Yzerman around.

And every piece of evidence we have is not good.

Do you want to try that again? Maybe try actually reading my post and cutting out the insults.

>Quoting: Rangsey

I read it it made little sense both were older and UFAs not RFA. Both signed for substantially more money.' So the comparison is like apples to pork chops utterly and completely irrelevant.

Hagel will be with Kucherov and Point most 5v5 Stamkos and Cirelli I'd love to see Nick Paul there his by far most production last year was prior to Cirelli returning when he was with Stamkos and Killorn mostly

YOU ARE THE ONE WHO CAME UP WITH THE COMPARISON!

I'm not the one who brought up Coleman and Goodrow.

The picks aren't worth as much as people think. They are either years away, or picks near the end of the round. The entire package probably wouldn't have even gotten Nashville into the 1st round of the 2023 draft in a trade up.

There is a very small possibility that Tampa could start their decline at the right time, and Nashville could end up with a high pick in 2026. With that said, I am sure Nashville would have rather received a 2023 1st than gambled on the possibility that they might get a slightly better prospect who won't play for them for 5-6 seasons instead of one who might play in 2-3.

They already know that their window is closing, that is the exact reason why they make a trade like this one or the Hagel trade, or sign a luxury top 9 forward like Nick Paul to a 7 year contract to keep the AAV down when teams would usually be worried about the second half of that kind of deal.

Improving their chances at a cup over the next 1-2 years is worth way more to Tampa than having more prospects in the system 3-7 years from now. A big chunk of their core is going to exit their prime or continue their decline over the next few years. Even a player like Point, who in my mind I still see as a young spry up and comer is 27.

Then who is 3C?

Crazy what a year of high shooting percentage does for you.

The Empire is crumbling

I get fighting drives up your value, I didn't realized getting the sh*t kicked out of you does as well

Yeah, but did either of those 2 get scratched during the most important game of their season for guys like Maroon and Corey Perry?

So they traded Colton to try and double down on the Jeannot trade? Ok.

This does make me feel better about the Reaves signing though

Not sure which specific fight you are referring to but Jeannot has more than held his own in fights, even against the league heavyweights (Deslauriers, Reaves, etc).

If it was the Luke Schenn fight (vs Leafs), that was a even scrum.

He had the upper hand at first, but Schenn got his left free and left his with bloody knuckles and a bloody face tbh but he's lost on numerous occasions already

Neither had a severe high ankle sprain either . Have you ever had one? I have and it is by far one the most painful injury I've had. I'm guessing skating and playing at the NHL level dealing with that amount of pain probably made the staff say sit. NFL players miss 4-6 weeks with high ankle sprains. Are they complete pussies? You however expect a guy to just play like nothing is wrong the fact he wasn't scratched all 6 is a testament to his toughness.

Again, he wasn't very good in any of his playoff series though... +tons of NHL players play through severe injuries... Just look at Hedman or Ekblad

Because Jeannot wasn't very good when he was healthy and then he got injured... the staff told him to sit this out bc if it was a Hedman who had the same injury, I would guarantee he wouldn't be a sratch in Tampa's most important game of the season

Hey pull your head out of your rectum he got injured his 4th game with TB and reaggravated it. Julien Brisebois in his exit interview on Lightning TV " Tanner was healthy for 4 games and we really liked what we saw.
