This is why you dont hand out massive goalie contracts. Difference between great and good goalies is like .008 save percentage and about 6.5 million per year

Also then what when Point needs resigning

Every year they have to trade a great depth forward to keep the core intact.

2019 - Miller
2020 - Gourde?
2021 - Killorn?

2019 playoffs were the year :/

I honestly would not be surprised if a team like the Habs try to offer sheet Sergachev, in which almost any case, Tampa wouldn't be able to match unless they made drastic moves. Either way they have to pray their RFAs will take team friendly deals.

Basically Tampa has been an under performing organization the last decade .. 1 cup appearance in 12 years of Hedmen and Stamkos .. and Cooper is longest tenured coach .. go figure .. and Tampa has most NTCs by far in NHL .. go figure

I'd love to offer sheet 3+ million to Cernak.


Moving Gourde or Johnson in trade is gonna cost Tampa assets big time.

I'd assume that Sergachev signs a bridge deal at 3 years 4.75 million or something. And Killhorn might be moved

Point will be up to re-signing when Palat will become UFA (5.3M freed) and Johnson's NTC will become a M-NTC with a 16 teams trade list. No need to worry about Point, he'll basically get most/all the money that Palat will free up.
