Thread: Tampa Cap

<div class="quote"><div class="quote_t">Quoting: <b>Leafs_and_Sens_Fan</b></div><div>Kucherov > Point
Stamkos > Point (when healthy)

I just don't see how Tampa's gonna drop almost 7M in cap otherwise while getting a decent return.</div></div>

A Leafs and Senator fan? .. teams known for ability to evaluate players.. lol.. Kuch and Point are close but go with the speedy center.. he changes games on rushes sometimes.. Point and Mc David probably only ones that quick and talented in today's game..

STAMKOS?.. lol

But when is next buyout windw?

Thread: Cap Hell

Buyout window has closed for Tampa.. BUT a question ... when is next buyout window?

If it soon .. I would put Stamkos on LTIR now .. then waive/buyout TJ/Gourde .. yes you can be waived again .. the cap of those 2 deadweights is around 11M .. so Tampa only pays out 1/3 Year 1 on buyout .. so "frees up/kicks can down road" savings of around 8M .. which is Stamkos salary ..

However we still short 5Mish .. so 1 good player to go and/or 1 RFA traded .. or leave Stamkos on LTIR ...

Thread: Trades

Few comments ..

1. Stamkos not going anywhere .. injury takes care of that. If JBB traded him end of last year .. as I harped repeatedly.. they would NOT have Cap issues, 2 #1s in hand AND still won the Cup without him.

2. Tyler Johnson .. let's get into how bad he really is. In Cup run .. in 25 games, he had 7 points and a plus/minus of -6 .. on a Tampa team that won 18 of those games. THINK of how bad that is for a 2nd line forward with some PP time!!! .. prorate those numbers to 82 games .. that a 23 point season with a minus 20!!! .. I see some posts of taking him back or we would keep him if not for contract etc .. no freakin way!!!!!!

3. If no Bogo or Rutta .. Colburn has 7th D role with Schenn/Foote still shaky as 5th and 6th D

4. We should be selling Gourde "high" .. he was asked to waive. I still have hope an Ottawa or Detroit takes him for picks.

5. Killorn most likely to get traded due not only modified MTC but great player and contract .. only 4.4M AAV for scoring forward who averages over .5pts/game EVERY YEAR for CAREER coming off his BEST year.. still only 30 with 3 year contract meaning little risk for a high quality gritty scorer. Worth AT LEAST a #3 and I HATE this scenario all because of Gourde contract.

Thread: TampaOttawa side

Ottawa "saves" 1.5M in Cap also .. TJ only owed 3.5M with 5M cap .. helps get a team to floor ... Yanni Gourde is also logical in Ottawa

Thread: Tampa The Numbers dont Work

Tampa does not want TJ at all ... even if his contract was less .. he unplayable .. agree it will cost a #2 and maybe prosoect to get rid of him.. JBB over played his hand

Thread: Is this possible

Bs have to find 1D or they wasting their time in division with Tampa .. and Toronto and Montreal close .. I like trade above but probably costs Debrusk and #1 D prospect vaakatien ..

Thread: Back to back

Right now .. Think the market for Tiny Tyler is going to cost Tampa a 2nd .. which is late of in round of course

Thread: Outlandish moves

Good deals .. as a Tampa and Boston fan .. more Tampa now of course .. Mc Donough to Bruins could be one of best trades around .. Bs desperate for a true shut down 1 LD to pair with Mc Avoy or pair with Carlo for a shutdown pair .. immediate "A" and manageable contract and he should continue to perform into upper 30s as he is not a "speed guy" and D age well.

With Bs getting Smith no need for Killorn
Take away Bjork from deal.

Thread: Stamkos Rumor to Vegas

Unfortunately Stamkos not going anywhere. . Obviously was Day 1 conversation as JBB said all "non core" players were available/in discussion.. And did NOT correct himself when asked

FYI .. Yoko Sucko Gourde was #2 on list after TJ

Thread: Stammer

Stamkos to LTIR solves alot of problems .. trade/dump TJ Gourde and others throughout year .. then reactivate Stamkos for playoffs to trade as soon as season ends.. THATS golden

Forum: Armchair-GMOct. 14, 2020 at 11:26 a.m.

Thread: Stamkos apparently was asked to waive his nmc

As I have said both Gourde and Stamkos were asked to waive NTC .. not sure on Mc Donough but certainly possible..

This HAS to be done .. Stamkos isn't going to happen now with Vegas .. it done.

Thread: Major Retool

Uh no .. Tampa right now does not have a "gap" with age groups .. we have no "35ers" (Group A .. aging teams like Caps and Bruins) .. 1/2 are "30ers" .. Hedmen Kuch Stamkos TJ Palat Killorn Maroon Gourde McDonough .. and 1/2 are"25ers" .. Point Vaz Cirelli Serg Colemen Goodrow Cernek

VERY enviable structure to dominate for next 10 years .. BUT we can NOT sacrifice the "25ers" for the low end of the "30ers" .. that will kill the structure.. why TJ Gourde etc. Are critical to move ASAP .. I see no way all 3 RFAs aren't resigned .. even if you have to give away 3 to 5 draft picks ..

Longer term we have few very talented "20ers" .. Foote gone, 2#1s traded etc. But that a back burner issue for 2 years after we see the Syracuse kids play THIS year

Thread: CapHelpforJBB

Johnson WILL waive .. that not issue .. his worth is the issue.. he will never play in Tampa again.. hopefully a 2nd gets it done

Thread: basically impossible

Lawton on TV said Tyler first then Gourde then Killlorn .. in that order.. and he knows .. Montreal is now closed .. they kicked ass .. them and Colorado got ALOT better..

TJ/Gourde contract casualties are JT Miller and Carter Verhegee .. who next?

STAMKOS to LTIR makes alot of sense to buy time

I see only Ottawa Detroit and NJ left for Tampa to deal .. we will see

In retrospect.. should have bought out at least one of TJ/Gourde but I give JBB credit for trying.. tough COVID market that is going to get alot worse.. Bruins in dire straits with owner finances

Thread: Tyler Johnson offer for the whole league Please

Listen.. if a #2 Doesn't get it done .. bury him in Syracuse .. try to trade throughout the year .. offer to Seattle and if THAT doesn't work.. buy him out.. 15M .. cost us 10M and saves us in 2021/2022 .. our capnlossens after that with Palat Killorn Paquette Mc Donough and Stamkos are gone ..

Thread: Blake Coleman sacrificial lamb

Yanni Gourde sucks .. he did have good playoffs .. due to Colemen. Gourde lacks basic hockey talent and skill .. except hustle.. his ceiling is 3rd line and played 4th line most of last 2 years .. his 5 year $26M NTC contract for a $1M year grinder is one of worst in NHL

YOU hit a nerve and lack basic evaluation of a player

I WARNED Tampa fans for 2 years on both TJ and Gourde contract .. the body count is JT Miller and Carter Verhegge to date .. casualties of these 2 disasters... who is next?

Thread: What are they gonna do

I think JBB played it right .. he knew TJ was a disaster and tried to move quick knowing it was a buyers market .. it just moved to quick down .. forward market developed slowly due to Hall so we should see action soon ...if not I would waive Gourde also if cant trade him.. will be WORSE next year.... what got to lose? ... nothing ..
