Thread: helping tampa on draft day sort of blockbuster
<div class="quote"><div class="quote_t">Quoting: <b>MaxDomi13</b></div><div>overpaid 4th liner... my proposal is gourde joseph and a 3rd for random thing</div></div>

you need to watch Gourde more, a good two way defensively sound winger whose metric numbers are good put just **** puck luck this year. He is on pace for 40 points playing less then 14 minutes a night with Paquette and Maroon as his consistent linemates. He is on the 4th line because he is so good on the forecheck and pressure defensively then alot of the Bolts wingers. Put him on your second line playing 18+ minutes and he is a 50+ point player. you will love him... plays hard, tough and with motor. the only thing wrong with him is his contract is about 750k- 1m more then most would like but he is not an overpaid 4th liner.

Thread: We can steal Cernak
<div class="quote"><div class="quote_t">Quoting: <b>Boomer125</b></div><div>I had to make 2 trades to cover the Cernak OS, Tampa's gonna offer between 6/7 million over 3 years I'm offering 16 million over 4 years ya he likes Tampa but TO is pretty good to play in good to great team and 10 million more dollars - That's a little tough to turn down.

Trade values are low - I also pulled a prick move and signed an RFA and now have to make space - I'd be content sending Kapenen for a late 1st or a 2nd and a 3rd to a Calgary</div></div>

And yet the rfa's in Tampa always take less to stay. Cernak is well aware of how the Lightning run their contracts and sure he gets closer to the 7.5 range for 3 years but still stays on a better contender, better taxes, not get hounded by the Toronto fans and media constantly, and the weather is also a bit nicer in January in Tampa than in Toronto. If all he cares about is the extra term and $, Tampa can work out longer term if JBB feels that's the best option, but a 3 year bridge is 95% what's likely to happen, then he'll get paid nicely if he continues to improve. I'll believe Toronto pulls these trades off and Cernak takes the OS when I see it. Until then, I'll trust JBB and the Lightning organization to continue getting things done in these matters.

Thread: Flat Cap Cup Win Retool
I like the Edmonton trade, Killorn has really stepped his game up but he is the easiest to move and I think that is a fair return by getting the potential of Jesse.

Both Johnson and Gourde are not negative players as some on here like to say. Both are only playing about 13-14 minutes a night in the bottom six in Tampa. Put them on a team on the 2nd line playing 18-20 and you will see they both will be 50+ point players. Johnson still averages about .65 PPG average for his career but this year he has struggled a little but that is because of the ascension of Cirelli putting Johnson onto the 3rd line where he has to re-adjust. And Gourde's metric numbers are great this year but his shooting percentage is horrendous. He has been playing on the check down fourth line with Paquette and Maroon but is still close to a .5 PPG, give him better line mates and more minutes his numbers go right back up.
