Quoting: Islesforthecup
Youre all over the map here. Who cares what they already have? Should tampa trade point for a 3rd bc they already have kucherov stamkos cirelli hedman and vasilevskiy? Passing up on the prime of johnson/mctavish/lysell/sillinger to move cap for 1 year where youre not going to go anywhere significant is just stupid.
Considering Tampa is 18M over the cap, I figure that moving a strong player on their roster for peanuts is the only option that they really have. Johnson is likely going to Seattle, Killorn is likely to be moved, but then they still have 9M to juggle to get under the cap.
I'm just saying that a weak Pacific makes it more likely for Vancouver to succeed. They have the depth at Wing to where a prospect that they draft won't be roster ready.
They could use the money to bring in Morgan Reilly, or Taylor Hall etc etc. They could very well be a strong playoff contender in 2021/22 if they make a couple of moves.
You also want to show the players you are serious in competing. I don't know if a constant retool is what players want to be a part of.
