Absolute Amergeddon if Killorn is moved .. and WAY over payments on Cernek and Sergachev above .. Cirelli closer .. Gourde contract should be OK to move but won't return much .. same with TJ .. but who cares .. need their 11M for Cernek/Serg/Cirelli

we really need our AHL talent to start translating better to the NHL. has been our biggest downfall so far.

Gourde is going nowhere, there is 0 reason for him to waive his ntc. The same can be said for Johnson, who most likely plays in Tampa next year then gets taken in the expansion draft. Killorn should be able to return a 2nd+b prospect if he continues an amazing season this year. JBB should try for a 1st straight up but more likely it's a 2nd and a prospect. Not a chance Tampa has to add to Killorn in order to move him. With Killorn out and Joseph also traded, Tampa can make the 3 main rfa's work. Shattenkirk is also likely gone which sets up the d next year with Hedman, McD and Coburn on the left with Serg, Cernak and Foote on the right while Rutta/Schenn can rotate in. Maybe Maroon signs another low 1 year deal but there will be a couple spots open for Syracuse players(Volkov, ABB, Raddysh etc to move up). I think Joseph gets moved in a trade for a rental Kreider, Toffoli etc and then they are obv gone as well. Cernak will be cost controlled while Cirelli and Serg will eat up most of the available $$. In any case it's manageable. Another big factor is where the cap is actually at next year. 84 million isn't unreasonable, although could see it a bit lower at 83 or so.

LMAO you silly guys thinking that Tampa has to ADD in order to move Killorn. I never was a fan of him but even at his lowest point he was wort at least a third and a fourth rounder. Hell, we got a 4th rounder for ****ing Erne.
He has a TON of value especially now that he's showing he is an offensive threat if deployed in a top 6 role (he's PPG this season, 15 goals already, hello??) and he's still one of the best PKers on the Lightning. And his contract, for what he brings now, is a bargain (how can things turn out to be LMAO).

That said, I'm quite sure that JBB will try his hardest to keep Killorn and move Johnson. In a recent interview JBB praised how Killorn this season stepped up his leader role in the locker room too. And Tampa needs these kind of guys, JBB knows it. So I'm sure he'll try whatever he can in order to re-sign Sergy (what a ****ing warrior that guy is, what I've been saying about him for a long time is turning out to be true... what a surprise, eh?) Cirelli and Cernak.

Did you see the game last night? Are you starting to change your mind about Sergachev? The kid looks like he can do it all this season, he's a full package. He's the real ****ing deal and I'm so stocked he's on our team!!
