No deal from Tampa, Sergachev is part of the plan for both now and the future. If there's a Tampa rfa that has to be moved, it's Cernak and even then seems doubtful. Tampa is in win now mode but also looking to be a top 5 team past the next year or two. No reason to trade a 22 year old top 4 now and potential top pairing defenseman for a lottery ticket and one solid prospect. Tampa traded away picks and prospects to add proven roster players, they have no reason to trade young and good roster players for future maybes. Even if an ntc doesn't waive, there's a solid chance of a cbo if the cap stays flat or drops slightly. If that happens Tampa is fine and if the cap does still end up rising then Tampa can also make it work. Players take less to stay here with a great team, great organization, good location and less taxes. Hard to see these rfa's choosing to leave such a great spot for a little extra $. If Tampa was still a few years away, I could see something like this, but not with the position that Tampa is in now.
