want something better than kuzmenko

Sure. Kuz is a better offensive player but obviously a position of less value and need at TB. But, if Cirelli doesn't produce more than 40 pts a season, it's a tough contract despite his all around game. Maybe not with the cap up. Just an option if 8 years is of any concern.

Tampa isn't making that trade, Especially if there's a chance of Stammer walking at the end of the season.

Cirelli is not available.
Easy pass for Tampa.

Probably need to add a bit more, but Van should be trying something like this

This is an insane price for a depth player. Not even looking at the first and second round pick; his contract is awful for a guy who puts up 40 points in a good season.

This is another Connor Garland type player - which we have been trying to give away for the past two years.

cirelli has been in the top 5 in selke voting twice, also he is not available he just started his 8 year contract tampa isnt trading him
