Thread: Sergachev or Cernek gone
Its certainly looking that way. Killorn has been really good. Get the feeling he's playing like its a contract year, like he doesnt want to get moved. Him and Palat have been the best of the 4. Johnson has been ok in small stints. Gourde has never been a $5million forward.

I would rather lose Serg and get a decent return and a couple of highish is picks than lose Killorn and Paquette. Paquette is now playing for his job with Goodrow and Coleman in the lineup.

Question for you though. I know you don't like him. But do you think Johnson deserved the contract he got when he signed it?


<div class="quote"><div class="quote_t">Quoting: <b>exo2769</b></div><div>Move Serg. He'll get a larger return. His contract demands have to be higher too. Cernak and the wya he plays is very underrated Cal Foote would be well suited next to Cernak.</div></div>

That gives you 2 righties and Hedman McD two lefties. Cernak isnt great on his off side.

Thread: (NJD/TBL) - Coleman for Foote and 2020 1st round pick
<div class="quote"><div class="quote_t">Quoting: <b>pharrow</b></div><div>no they really aren't because at the end of the day you want your top two lines out there for 40+ minutes in the playoffs and nothing there has really changed.
It's not even worth arguing. If you want to send players like Maroon over the boards for 20 minutes a night the other teams will be glad to have you do that because you won't win with the team doing that and we both know it. Other teams are built for the games being a bit nasty. TB is not.</div></div>

Have you watched them play? The entire lineup is more responsible on their side of the puck than they were last year. This time last year I was worried about how they were playing. They were winning but they were winning wrong. They're way more rounded in their approach this season.

<div class="quote"><div class="quote_t">Quoting: <b>pharrow</b></div><div>because you seem to think regular season hockey is the same as the playoffs. It's not. It might as well be preseason.
The games are meaner and nastier. And TB has not fundamentally changed their team. They are not built for it.
So enjoy your lap around the track in warm up. When the games count you'll be knocked out with your collection of 5 foot forwards.</div></div>

I'll admit a slight bias here. While Tampa hasn't "fundamentally changed their team" they have completely changed their focus on the fundamentals. They are a far better team defensively than they were last year. The little changes and tweaks with Maroon, Coleman, Hags and a fit Victor Hedman make them a much different team than the one that got bludgeoned by Colombus last year.

<div class="quote"><div class="quote_t">Quoting: <b>Zwui21</b></div><div>This trade will make me sick for a couple of days. What the ****? One of our two top prospects + VAN's 1st(! Not even Tampas) for Coleman?
He's great and having him and Cirelli on the lineup will be a nightmare for other teams, but HOLY **** WHAT THE HELL IS GOING ON.

For this price to be justified, Coleman has to be a ****ing wizard for Tampa, in all aspects of the games.

It's true that his cap hit is great, and will be a great Killorn replacement for 2.7M less in cap hit next year, but still.

This is an incredibly high price to pay, I'm not happy at all.
Also, this trade hints that we are likely to see someone waive his NTC in Tampa this offseason.
And BriseBois saying "I know it's a hefty price but we can afford that" says be he's confident he's getting back some prospects/picks this summer by selling Killorn and</div></div>

Yeah. Its gotta be something like that. Playing the long game in terms of value.
He's ****ed the deadline market for his competition though. Also made the team better today.

I dont hate the addition. But the cost is huge.
