<div class="quote"><div class="quote_t">Quoting: <b>RecycleShark</b></div><div>This article said that Cernak is TB's worst contract:

This article suggested that Chicago could get Cernak for a 3rd

I thought about just offering a 3rd for Cernak, but I needed to move a RD to make room for him and I figured Rutta had some value, plus a good past relationship with TB and Hedman.
Cernak is clearly better than Rutta (which is why the Sharks would do this), but from the articles I read it appeared that TB might need to trade Cernak for cap reasons.</div></div>

Show me one time with the cap hell TB has been involved with when they signed a player for 6 or more years and traded them within 2 years? Don't waste your time it hasn't happened under this ownership.it isn't how TB operates.

Thread: Would Philly do this
<div class="quote"><div class="quote_t">Quoting: <b>Ujeje</b></div><div>Don't let that "playoff hunt" fool you. The only reason for that is Devils, Sabres, Pens and even Sens underperforming. It was a competition for least bad team to make playoffs, not actually being good to earn a spot.

And yes I'm aware they would have made it without Hart thing, or if their PP would have been even a bit below average, not dead worst (again).

And about that trade, Flyers wouldn't do it. If they are trading TK or Laughton, it would be to bolster their prospect pool/to get younger players. Not to trade someone who's halfway in his contract close to ~30 year old making 12M/year when they are supposed to be competitive.</div></div>

<div class="quote"><div class="quote_t">Quoting: <b>Gunmars</b></div><div>Jones and Briere both said the standings do not matter. They are committed to this rebuild for another 2 years.</div></div>

Yeah because no GM or president of hockey has ever lied in a presser.🙄. Would they make that as I said earlier I'm not sure, but to completely rule it out nope.
