Really a nice big insurance policy to Serg ... really like the Shatt move .. and it hilarious how Killorn is bashed for being what he is .. a 3rd line wing who can score 40ish pts a year .. all you bashers .. I encourage you to look at your teams and how many 3rd liners scored 40 plus points .. his 4.4M contract is slightly over market but it ain't a Backes Lucic etc.. those an anchor
I know he was talking about the playoffs. But it would be a massive surprise if they make the playoffs this year. There are a lot of if's. They lack depth, especially at centre. And they still have to create room to resign RFA's and to be cap compliant which will impact their depth. There are at least 3 better teams in the division and at least 8 better teams in the conference.
He’s extremely good for a third-pairing defenseman, but it’s not like he’s Hedman or someone like that who just makes anyone look good. Shattenkirk is better than some of the people Hedman has played with (Dotchin, for example), but Coburn’s not just going to carry his pairing. Coburn is more defensive and I expect Shattenkirk to be allowed to be mostly offensive, but he’s going to need to be decent at both parts of the game.
It's not even the fact that Shattenkirk signed it's the fact that they still have a 6 M increase in cap on Vasi Sergachev will need to be signed, and even more will need to be signed. And I highly there are teams who would take on a overpaid Killorn.
Not much risk here. Now they have plenty of competition going into training camp/pre-season. Will likely see them trading one of their nhl dman contracts before or close to the start of the season. This value and term for Shattenkirk leaves him open to be traded if things dont work out or the other dmen out perform him. Only static contracts back there are Hedman and McDonagh (not that nobody would want them but no way tampa moves them).

Yeah. But you said that this deal removes any chance of Point signing long term. This deal has almost zero impact on Point. The Vasi deal absolutely does, this deal does not. It doesnt even impact Tampa's "cap hell" situation. If anything this deal is going to kake Sergachev cheaper next year.
But again. Nothing to do with Point.
They'll have to move Killorn + next season, they kight even have to move a prospect to do it. They've got prospects and picks to move though. This season is probably "one last kick of the can" for this group.

The deal kind of does.......the cap I have heard most likely 10M you don't have 10M anymore.

Theyve also go 9dmen 3 goalies and can move Erne's contract rights if need be. They signed Kucherov for 9.5 less than a year ago, if Point gets 10 ill eat my hat.
LOL a leafs fan bashing another team not winning the Cup in the last 5 years.
Buddy, last time your team won the Cup my grandma was a teenager.
A Leaf fan? Oh that's precious .. let me add another allergy .. Toronto is allergic to playing hockey in the month of May ... if I was a Leaf fan I would just hide in the dark in my basement and play video games. Wait that is what you do .. but how can we bash such a "historic " franchise ... my sincere apologies..lol ...
