If Jones is the starter, this is a non-playoff team period.

Y'all are getting ridiculous with these Cirelli offersheets.. 8.5M for 5 years?

It depends on the expansion rules. Columbus May have to decline that trade as Merzlinkins would be exempt and Korpisalo would be protected, the only other goalie we have that’s eligible to be taken in the expansion draft is Kiv. If they don’t care that we don’t have another expansion eligible goalie the trades fine, if we need to expose a goalie we decline.

I mean, you think TB would match this though?

Obviously not because its a massive overpay

I think they match to anything 7.5 tho

How would they though? Without players waiving, Killer is the only guy they can move and they have like 4M to sign Sergachev, Cernak and Cirelli. They'll obviously figure it out and they all seem to like being there so a cheap, short term deal isn't impossible. Remember that Cirelli/Serg/Cern would have to actually sign the OS

Jones and matiss gonna be the worst tandem in the league
