IF Tampa choses to trade Motte, I would expect it to be for a 4th

The 4th line isn’t the problem, it’s the effort and execution by the players

Also Bonino as the 3C is the worst thing I’ve seen in hockey in the last few years

Went for a 7th last year. Id give up a 4th but leave that to the professionals

it was a conditional 7th and julien gauthier. The year before that he went for a 4th so he is probably still worth a 4th

Yea we had him as 3C and it was rough! He’s soooo slow now and has lost his ability to keep up, at best he’s a 4th line LW who can take FO and play PK. He should have retired last year!
Goodrow is still a capable bottom 6 C bi this overpaid.
I would offer Bailey Sturm for Bonino and Goodrow, but you would have to throw in a 1st and 3rd. 3rd for Sturm 1st to take Goodrowa contract and Bonino is a FC type guy right now.

Vatrano with 50% retention is going to cost Jeannot prices.

I wouldn’t mind if Bonino was playing only 10 minutes a night on the 4th line, but he’s a legit black hole as the 3C

I want Drury to go out and get a 3C with Chytil’s LTIR relief or sign a free agent (brassard can’t be this bad) or even promote Edstrom who looked better in 1 game

TB passes Motte is an Energizer bunny making minimum

I’d do Strome for the 1st though

Fellow fans getting carried away with the garbage references. Our problem is our 2c & 2rw are missing and being filled with our 4c & 5c. Offensive black holes sure, but Goody Vesey Bonino Brodz Pitlick have been the reason our team is still in it lol. Igor & Fox have been invisible, stars started slow, ditto Cuylle Wheeler BS. Our system & depth kept us in it, @ #1! Now here's where All of You are right, things will get tougher and these "bums" will tire & also not produce. We need a 3c, a 7d & maybe a 3rw. Garbage means you don't watch or understand the team concept. Motte is another Pitlick, not any better. Strome is a younger Wheeler and is not a fit on a contender especially with his cap. Vatrano is scoring right now, overhyped Grabner.
