Tampa declines. Cirelli is a part of the core and a key member of the top 6. The only way that Tampa is listening on any trade for him is if they are getting a youngish top 4 dman(preferably RD), with term or a lock to extend in return. Neither player nor the 2nd do much to move the needle for Tampa, and while the 1st has value, it would only be to then use to flip for a top 4 RD. Since that puts all the risk on Tampa to then have to try and make another deal, all while also having to.replace Cirelli, it's a fairly easy pass.
