morgaging the future

yeah decent offer but it really doesn't help TB to do that trade.
Cernak is one of the last pieces dealt for futures.
RD is their weakest spot so moving your best one whose a stud on a club friendly contract is really bad asset management

What i would imagine them doing with that pick is adding it to a Tyler Johnson salary dump to SEA. They are going to have to make some tough decisions, they can maybe get by next year but once Point is up then they will have to remake the roster.

it's not Cernak sorry i'll wager whatever you want he's wearing a lightning bolt next season. Their RD is completely decimated if they did this. Many many others Palat Killorn Johnson . Gourde or McDonagh if they can get Seattle to bite all before Cernak

They are going to have to expose Foote or Cernak. SEA will take either one and if Tampa wants them to take someone else then they will have to pay for it. Why would they take Killorn at 31 when they can take a young, good D man? Thats why you trade Cernak, protect Foote and get as many assets back as you can to bundle it to SEA to take on a bigger contract. Yall dont have a 1st or 2nd this year.

no they aren't
Stamkos Kucherov Point Cirelli Hedman Sergechev Cernak Foote Vasilevskiy
Mcdonagh isn't protected
