As much i like big z i doubt hes worth that much
And for Dennis i dont know what to think it must be a decent deal

Tampa has cap problems. No reason at all to take on Chara.

Neither Tampa or St Louis can afford those contracts, and I'm not quite sure why someone would trade a goalie a year or two away from being on of the best goalies in the league for someone who is ready to retire.

Bishop is there guy and there widow is open now for a cup run why not go all in? I know chara is not worth that much but neither are goalies.

I don't see any of these things happening. St. Louis isn't settling for a 1st round pick two years from now for Shattenkirk. And they're especially not taking Siedenberg in return when the purpose for trading Shattenkirk is to save money to sign and/or replace Backes, Brouwer, & Schwartz.

Yandle is getting more than a three year contract.

If Tampa thinks this is there opportunity now, then they're going to go all-in by re-signing Stamkos. No way they could take on Chara at $7 mill too. Vasilevsky is their future.
