TDL no Hanifin

tampas not giving up all those assets for rentals

Since the only player that likely ends up a rental that actualky costs meaningful assets would be Tarasenko, oh well. Walker and Barabanov would both likely be re-signed, and there is nothing major going for Lyubushkin, who is a steady defensive RD that helps them this year and who is definitely better than Perbix. Even if Tampa can't re-sign him, it's no big deal, as they have Crozier and Thimpson ready to go for next season.

Tarasenko would be a pricy rental (unless they let Stamkos walj), and is the least likely of these moves. However, it's clear that Tampa needs a top 6 winger that can actually do something offensively 5v5, so Tank wouldn't be a bad option. Brisebous has also paid a high price for a rental near the top of their positional list before, so there is some precedent. If Tampa misses on Hanifin, this is a solid plan that improves the team in several areas for not only this season but also for several seasons to come, at least.

definitely don't want either walker or barabanov resigned

They're more realistic than your idea they are getting the terrible defensively dman Chychrun. Both are likely to improve the team, as Walker is a versatile well rounded player who, unlike Chychrun, can play both sides well, and despite some injuries and having a rough year this season, Barabanov brings more than enough ability to be a top 6 scoring winger, or at least a high end middle 6 winger, at a likely affordable price.

I don’t want chychrun anymore and all you’re doing is wasting assets lol
