ya. it really does.

i would aim to bump the pick to montreal to a second, but ya, this is a pretty well thought out move.

To be honest, Marc Bergevin is probably stupid enough to do a Max for Ryan straight up hahaha

i think even though theres bobby ryan in the trade you need to give more to ottawa

I really don't know about the MTL trade... The Ryan contract is very very beurk!!!! But Sergachev and the 1st is very attractive!!

Any trade by Tampa for EK doesn't include Ryan (even though here he gets flipped)... Plus We end up trading BOTH Serg, and Foote (I'd have to assume here that Yzerman would be willing to part with one, not both) and Yzerman wouldn't trade for Patches (we have plenty of depth at forward)

I also don't think you guys have the right to move the 2019 first round pick, as NYR gets it if TBL wins the cup this year. If they made these moves, I think they would be likely to.

If this worked Karlsson would've been on the Lightning a month ago. You're giving up more value for Pacioretty than you are for Karlsson. In what world does that happen?

It's an unique suggestion. I haven't seen something like this before. I like it.

Adding a 30+ Goal scorer and the best dman in the league and not losing any current impact players makes Tampa the team to beat. The window would be open for the next 5 years...

I think maybe we can give Ottawa a little something else from Montreal, like maybe 2nd rounder or equivalent player.

Switch Sergachev and Foote in the deals and this works.

Sergachev will bail and head to the KHL if he gets sent back to MTL.

Problem is Foote is right handed to "replace" Karlson and MTL needs LHD
