No way tampa does that, they lose the better Dman plus gain more cap while giving up more assests

Odds are the team wouldn’t make it past the first round this season or next season even with that roster

Tampa can't afford Dumba they're already up against the cap next season, And no freaking way does Hampus Lindholm sign that lowball offer. he'd just stay in Anaheim for basically the same money he's currently making now.

I'd do that, gladly take Talbot back

Rangers say no without a second thought. They'll have to resign Laf, Kakko, and Fox before that Zuc deal is done, and the extra 6 mil will come in handy. Not to mention they need to resign Zibanajed, even though I don't agree with the AAV it's rumored to be around. With trading for Zucc, they're putting themselves in cap hell for a third liner. They're already gonna be close with Goodrow there.

The other bad trades have already been addressed. Try thinking about what other teams may want before making a trade.

Oh no it's the "making the team worse but now they're so much grittier" strategy again
😑

Conference finals he said.


we all had a good laugh.

Wouldn't mind a Talbot return. Assuming no bad blood between him and Smith after their brawl haha. Really too bad that the Sekera and Klefbom injuries derailed that defense and shot his confidence to the point where he needed a change of scenery.
