That Top Four is ROCK SOLID. It’s gonna be a lot harder to penetrate that defence.
NSH Trade:
Nashville gets a ton of speed and skill in Nylander and Johnsson. They get some bottom 4 defence with tremendous upside. Plus they cash in with a couple of picks as well.
Toronto gets the long coveted RHD they’ve been looking for forever. They also get someone to replace Alex Kerfoot and some depth at RW to compensate for the loss of Nylander.
Ellis = Nylander, Dermott
Jarnkrok = Johnsson, 4th
Watson = 3rd
TBL Trade:
I’ve seen this trade proposed many times. Not much new here. It helps Tampa keep some more of their RFAs.
BUF Trade:
Gives buffalo someone behind Eichel, but doesn’t have to be the sabres. Could be anyone looking for low end middle six centre.
LA Trade:
Gives the leafs some injury depth. Really not a whole lot here to look at.
I can name a few players that took team friendly short term "prove it" deals
Lebanc
Mangiapane
DeAngelo
Duclair
Garland
Pettersson
And that was just this year. From last year we have
Pelech
Toews
Bertuzzi
McCann
Virtanen
and probably more
Lol. All those guys except Lebanc are either young with little experience or need to prove something. They didn't take discounted deals. They took the only deals that were put in front of them

So how exactly does Cernak not fall under the same criteria?

He has nothing to prove. He's already shown he's a top 4 d-man. You're just saying he has to take a discount so Tampa can fit him in the cap better. Doesn't work like that

DeAngelo put up 30 points in 61 games last year, that is definitely worth more than a 925k contract. You clearly are missing the point. Cernak is at most a 2-2.5M player. How is it absurd for him to take a discount deal for 1 year so the team can open up cap space after expansion? Marcus Pettersson had also already proven he was a top 4 D but took a short term team friendly deal too.
