I still think JBB has a plan centered around re-signing Stamkos.

I don't believe he trades for RMD if he doesn't believe he can trade Jeannot, Sheary and Perbix.

It seems everyone on CFACGM believes Cirelli will be traded but I don't agree.

To me, JBB is riding his core players to take a few more kicks at the can and this involves keeping his shutdown C Cirelli.

Is it the right thing to do?

Time will tell.

I am a Canucks fan, that’s why I tried it lol. Started with a Canucks team, but didn’t post. Figured it would be a cheaper option than Lindholm. It can kinda work cap wise, but one of Miller or Pettersson, would end up in the win, because I can’t see all 3 playing down the middle. We need guys on the win.

I agree with everything you’ve said. I’m just having some fun here. I do believe Stamkos stays, but it seems nearly impossible, unless he’s signing for dirt cheap.

I think 5.5-6 mil is the right range.

But there's spoiled Tampa fans on here which only want to pay Stamkos 3-4 mil. 🤔

The guy scored 40 goals and 81 points and is probably willing to take a 3 mil paycut because he loves Tampa and really wants to stay there.

But can these spoiled Tampa fans show some respect?

I'm not saying ALL CFACGM Tampa fans.

But there's more than a few of them.

These same Tampa fans thought JBB would convince Coleman, Goodrow, Palat and Killorn to sign for 2 mil AAV. 🙄

Even if they move on from Sheary, Jeannot, and Perbix to get Stamkos signed, they’ll still only have $4-5m to sign 3-5 more roster players. It’ll be tight, but I’m sure JBB has a plan, and knows what he’s doing.
It’s not impossible, but it’ll take some gymnastics.

I recently posted an example but it's basically...

Stamkos Point Kucherov
Hagel Cirelli Johnson (UFA)
Goncalves Paul Eyssimont
Motte Glendening Chaffee
Merela

Hedman Sergachev
RMD Cernak
Lilleberg Raddysh
Crozier

Vasilevskiy Johansson

In this CFACGM I had Stamkos at 5 years 5.5 mil.

I heard Kevin Allen recently say that GM's around the league think it's in the 6 mil range.

What kind of return would you expect for Jeannot? Paid a ton to get him, JT hasn’t quite lived up to expectations.

Not sure after hearing he has interest today but it’s probably a couple picks
