1. I wanna say Toronto would be the perfect fit, but he'd have to take less money. Dubas may also need to move Johnsson and/or Kerfoot to make it happen. Personally, I think it'd be worth it if they could sign him for around $8M AAV, but he could almost certainly get more on the open market.
2. Lehner stays in Vegas. Fleury gets bought out or traded. Trading him will probably cost Vegas their 1st rounder this year (at least). Business over loyalty all day.
3. Taylor Hall goes to PIT or CGY. The Pens would need to dump JJ and trade Murray. I would make that deal all day. Imagine Hall-Sid-Guentzel and Zucker-Geno-Kap/Rust. Best top six in NHL (if healthy).
4. De Melo goes to the Devils.
5. If Yzerman doesn't Offer Sheet Cirelli I'll be shocked and confused. Offer him $6Mx7 years and I don't see how JBB can match. I think Sergachev has to be the number 1 priority. In a perfect world, Tampa moves Tyler Johnson and Alex Killorn, but getting both to waive their NTC's is gonna be tough. Even if they can move both, it'd still be very difficult to sign both Sergachev and Cirelli, unless both take huge hometown discounts. Teams like OTT, DET, & NJD (just to name a few) have the cap space to vigorously pursue offer sheets on both TBL young guns. They could make matching basically impossible if they're willing to leave Tampa.
