What I could see JBB doing

Description
I don't want to spend big at the deadline. If the asking price for Hanifin is anywhere near what this site suggests it is (2 1sts and a 2nd on average) then I wouldn't even try to go for him. I don't even want to spend a 1st and 2 2nds which is what I think he is worth. I would rather try our luck in FA and if he does a sign and trade then oh well, he is not worth chasing. Additionally I can't see JBB trading for Hanifin without having to part with Jeannot, Sheary and Perbix. He wouldnt give Hanifin an extension before even starting negotiations with Stamkos with less than 2 million left to sign him. It would be a bad look for the organization and would mess with the locker room chemistry. I dont know if he is willing to cut his losses on Sheary yet and doubt he would sell low on Jeannot after what he paid for him.

JBB typically looks for guys on good contracts with term and Carcone would be a very good option. ARZ doesnt really value him as they are playing him on the 4th line for about 11 minutes a game but he is 12th in the league in goals per 60 as he had a very hot start to the season but has cooled off a little since. Still could be a steal and considering the price wouldn't be that high and he is making league min this and next year I would prefer this acquisition. I could also see him going after Dowd but I think Dowd is a little overpriced but if JBB likes the player he will overpay. Some rentals we should be looking at would be Boyd, Foegele, and Mantha. All would be good for depth scoring but it is unknown if the Oilers need to move Foegle for capspace or if the Caps are sellers and willing to move Mantha or Dowd for that matter. Seeler would be a good option to bolster the blueline for cheap and currently leads the league in blocked shots which Tampa could use.

Elliotte Friedman on 32 thoughts keeps mentioning how he gets the feeling that Tampa are "honest with themselves" and implies that he could see management not adding big pieces at the deadline if they don't think that they are contenders. It will be interesting to see what happens over the next couple of days but I am just hoping that JBB doesn't massively overpay for anyone.

JBB already said he wasnt selling. I dont understand why those would be the only 2 options

Because acquisitions like these don’t help compete with other teams

Historically teams that make big adds at the TDL havent really done too well but besides that he might look to get the most value for his assets and try again when the team is better next year
