You can’t trade a conditional pick, it’s either the Flames or Panthers, pick until it is guaranteed what that pick is it cannot be moved

yes he is at 1.75 MILL. Sadly Stamkos will be signing with Chicago this off-season anyways so they have cap room to entertain.

If that's the case they go after Hannifan and play either he or Sergachev on the right side. Savard can't skate well enough he's a faster Luke Schenn. I'm going to save this link and return to the conversation 3/9
Edit: Perbix or Raddysh is traded an the blueline is something like this
77/48or43
98/Hanifin
Lilleberg/Cernak
With Thompson/Crozier/Carlisle being 7th

There are several better options that Tampa is looking at before Savard, who wasn't that great the last time Tampa traded for him and is now 3 years older and worse...

Neither player is interesting for ANA. Barron is a better fit, and would make the value close, but would still expect ANA to pass
