<div class="quote"><div class="quote_t">Quoting: <b>OrganizedConfusion55</b></div><div>Why would tampa do that? They will package Callahan and Miller, and/or an ELC to shred salary, not move a 1st.</div></div>Because the salary cap is rumored to be coming in at 81.5-82M <a href="https://www.sportsnet.ca/hockey/nhl/three-reasons-nhl-salary-cap-get-tighter/" rel="nofollow noreferrer noopener" target="_blank">source</a> and <a href="https://twitter.com/TSNBobMcKenzie/status/1140995573274828800" rel="nofollow noreferrer noopener" target="_blank">source 2</a> both well respected NHL insiders saying the same thing. Which means Tampa has 5.38M left to sign Point and at least 3 other players. Even accounting for Callahan's 5.8M that not possible. Other teams know this and won't be doing them any favors. They will simply wait them out until Tampa has to put players on waivers for the purposes of either buying them out or burying them in the minors.
