ISSUE is next year worse .. Coleman and Goodrow up for contracts and none go away. BUT situation is not that dire albeit tight.
1. TJ will go somewhere in NHL but will cost us a 2nd and prospect..
2. I would trade Gourde now and if cant/he says no .. waive him now.
3. TJ and Gourde are due $11M a year and $45M total .. if can't trade then now; forget next year as it will get worse. Tampa "saves" over $5M in Cap for next 4/5 years .. yea $6M dead money also but it all about freeing up space for next couple years.
4. Killorn and/or Palat would need to go this and next year .. again worse case if we eat 2/3 of TJ and Gourde contract over next 6 years.
This gets us to give 3 year contracts to RFAs ...
BETTER Strategy is to start to move Stamkos and Mc Donough next 2 years with Stamkos to LTIR ASAP.
HAVE to free up money for Point in 2022 and RFAs in 2024
