Or we move Callahan..
Or we bridge Point..
Or we move Killorn..

Callahan only has a year left after this, I think a 2nd rounder and a C level prospect gets a team to take him. I think Killorn could be traded. A team like Buffalo could want him. I also, think Tampa should trade one of their 4-6 million dollar guys for a RHD

that is losing people though you have to give up some of the future to get both off the books + if you decide to keep stralman you lose someone else instead. I think tampa will still be one of the best teams in the league but they wont have a team this good for a while. Tampa will lose a few impact players once the young guys need contracts but will still be good for like 10 years +. They probably win the cup this year though as I dont see a team that can match up both offensively defensively and goaltending wise as the other top tier contenders nashville winnipeg toronto san jose all have a hole or two at the moment. toronto falls off in defense nashville doesnt have the offense winnipeg goaltending and a bit defense and sanjose if jones gets it figured out dont have the offense. but its hockey and anything can happen in a playoff series

I guess MTL could take Callahan off your hands if a LHD is involved. Is Petry for McD, Callahan and a 2nd about fair?

It could be, althought the only knock is mcDonagh is much younger than Petry.

bridging point is a mistake in the waiting. Just take the pain now and be done with it. It will cost you less in the long run.
