Thread: i wonder
<div class="quote"><div class="quote_t">Quoting: <b>RawZuccSauce420</b></div><div>Everything here is more than adequate, although I think Brassard asks for more $$.

But can I ask what people see in Killorn? He's not fast, he's not particularly young, he's not crazy skilled and his stats certainly have something to do with being on the best team in the league. I know he's a decent net front presence guy who can tip, but his shooting % is unsustainable high and I'm honestly just not that sure that he fits in here.</div></div>

TB fan, I’ve really liked him for a long time. Power forward plays a 200 foot game, plays pp pk, one of our best defensive forwards. Always puts up 40 plus points, is a team leader and in the last five years has missed 5 games. All that at 4.4 contract. Yes he had an exceptional year that will fall somewhat. But what is there not to like? A good skater that happens to fall down a lot. If you can’t skate you do not plays for the bolts.

Thread: Does this deal work for both sides
<div class="quote"><div class="quote_t">Quoting: <b>villenash</b></div><div>I guess you'd have to consider whether an OS of 1st, 2nd, 3rd or a deal like this is more palatable. He may be able to get more, but it will be tough with their current cap situation and risk of offersheets for three important players on their team. I chose Zacha because he is cheap for 2 more seasons, young, and will be still be an RFA which seems like all things TBL would be looking for in any deal.

What else do you think would need to be added? NJD could offersheet him if the price via trade becomes too high (I guess they'd need to get their 2nd back somehow, but still)</div></div>

IMO, a team like Tampa is always looking to replenish and develop their prospect pool and they are super good at it. The first is a good start and Zacha is a decent option in the bottom 6, but I think there needs to be guys on ELC's added or future picks or guys on cheap deals. I do think Tampa will figure out there cap issues and make space to resign Cernak, Sergachev and Cirelli. They'll have to move 2 of TJ, Gourde, Palat or Killorn to do it, but it's doable.

Thread: Who Says No
<div class="quote"><div class="quote_t">Quoting: <b>stammerman</b></div><div>It could get nasty and the Lightning could put them on waivers if they don't want to waive their NTC and any team can pick them up which would happen. Also players like Gourde and Johnson might be more inclined to waive for larger roles. Both have been stuck on the 3rd - 4th line playing 14 minutes a night. Also its a business, if a player knows the teams wants to move on would they really force their clause to stay, if they do my first scenario could happen and they are put on waivers. The NTC to me has always been more about giving the player more control in a trade should it arise. Going to be interesting to see how everything plays out.</div></div>

I hadn't yet considered the waiver route. I also totally agree with you on the trade clauses. Tampa will be the most interesting team to watch this offseason.
