That offer for Jakob Chychrun is blown away.

Very doubtful that Brett Pesce is signing in Canada.

And Christian Fischer is staying in Detroit for that offer.

No one is touching that Korpisalo contract, let alone for a single 2nd

So, TB gives up a 2RD and a middle 6 C who's locked up 5 more years at a nice cap hit, that can play both PP & PK well for a LD on an expiring contract they probably can't resign ? Is that your take? BRILLIANT!!!!!!! NOT

Don’t you mean your 3C and 3rd pairing RD? And obviously a deal like this would come with an extension for Chychrun who is actually a top 4 dman on any team. So yes, that’s my take. And it is brilliant for TB as it leaves your top 6 and top 4 untouched.

Yotes could accept, any chance ottawa would do batherson or Greig if we added 2nds? prospects?

I don’t think the Sens go there as those two guys are core to the rebuild. Unless the two teams talk blockbusters with roster players going both ways (Durzi?) which I would be game for as someone who embraces chaos in the NHL.

BTW, I love the draft capital the Yotes have built. Should be a fun few drafts over the next couple of seasons. Armstrong has done a great job of loading up. You’re primed to both stock the prospect shelves and package picks for legit roster players.

TB trade sucks for us, and Pesce is getting closer to 7M$ if he is to sign in Canada.

Yeah, provided the extension with Chychrun was in place, Tampa accepts this imo. Perbix is definitely a 3RD and while Paul has been very solid in his role, replacing him would be far easier than getting g a top 4 dman long term.

No I don't you haven't watched a lot of TB this year I guess as he's spent quite a bit of time with Stamkos and Cirelli on the second line and played a lot on the top PP. So,no I meant accurately exactly what I said. Thank you for displaying your complete ignorance.
The Perbix Derangement Syndrome some lightning fans like the poster who agreed with you is unf---ing believable. 2/3 RD is a little more debatable however being he's yet to play 150 NHL games and started slow his sophomore year, and has played better as of late. I'll argue 2RD

I’ve paid pretty close to TB this year and know the exact role Nick Paul plays. He is an incredibly versatile centreman who can also slot to LW as needed, and plays specialty minutes. But in TB depth, he slots behind Point and Cirelli on any given night, hence the 3C designation. This is not debatable, unless you think Point or Cirelli slot lower. And to argue so passionately about Perbix reminds me of Sens fans arguing that Brannstrom is a legit top 4 guy.

Listen, I like both of the TB players, but if Brisbois was ever offered this deal, he should jump at it. Chychrun is entering his prime years and would be able to shelter Hedman’s minutes as he inevitably faces the aging curve.

At the end of the day, maybe we disagree on this deal. All good. I’ll be a tourist in the playoffs again as a Sens fan and am hopeful that the Lightning can take another run with this core.

If you paid close attention to TB you would realize he has spent a very high portion of the season on the second line with Stamkos a guy who regularly flips between 2nd and 3rd lines is the textbook definition of a " middle 6" player.
As for Perbix he leads the team in Blocked shots 2nd on (+-) which isn't an end all be all stat, however amongst teammates it's a decent comparison he's also 4th TOI. Is around a 30 per 82 point guy, but yeah he's just a 6/7 defenseman🙄.
We can agree to disagree but you are incorrect. Thank you for the respectful disagreement and have an awesome day. Btw when I used the word ignorance in a prior post I used it in it's true meaning (lacks knowledge).

You're pretty spot on with your analysis. While I doubt Ottawa would offer this deal, Tampa would easily accept based on the reasons you provided. Perbix still had some positive value, but despite what that other poster(imo it's in your best interest to ignore them) thinks, Perbix has regressed this year and is not a top 4 dman at this time. He could rebound as it could just be a rough 2nd full year, but as is he's a liability most nights for Tampa as of late.
