Quoting: Canucker
Tampa is in no position to be hagling. They need to shed massive amounts of salary and can't keep everyone. If you think teams are gonna give them 1st round picks..your crazy
Tampa is not a charity. They have something like 10 players they'd rather lose then Cernak. When you have the best team, you get the chance to haggle. Last offseason they were able to get away with losing spare parts by using the Kucherov scam. The season before that was a first rounder for JT Miller.
Think Johnson, McDonagh, Joseph, Killorn, Gourde, Cal Foote, Jan Rutta.
In free agency, we could overpay for Coleman or Goodrow, who are both excellent but will be paid more than their dues.
Cernak would walk on to the Canuck's roster and probably be the best all around defenseman on day 1, while being a perfect age and a miniscule cap hit, and his cost would reflect that.
I'm a hugggeeee Canucks fan, I really like what you've done with the team here, honestly. I'd love to pick up Cernak. He would just about "solve" our defense. I just think that conversation starts with the 9OA, and from my perspective, 9OA for Cernak is a great trade for VAN.
