All are underpays

Cirelli isn't going anywhere.

As for value, Nyquist is worthless as a pending UFA when we're sending a pending RFA. And Foudy definitely doesn't get Cirelli.

I would rather put Necas on the block for Gavrikov or Bjorkstrand.

Tampa and Carolina trades are especially bad but all are underpays imo

The thoughts being that both teams need cap space. Carolina less so as they have a lot of room, they can let some vets go and be fine but Necas has fallen since the arrival of Seth Jarvis. If we can't clear out multiple forwards we probably just don't get Necas. That's okay but his bigger body and playmaking profile fit well with Laine, Chinakov and our centers. Bjorkstrand for Necas would be betting on Necas, and I think I'm okay with that, but really we need to clear out multiple forwards and find a single higher value target or we lose on development time for our young forwards. Additionally, he's coming in at a higher cost than Necas signing would and probably means sacrificing some of their expiring UFAs. I'd consider Roslovic + Robinson but that's probably just crunching Carolina's cap as well.

Tampa is over the cap by $2 million for 22-23 already, they likely aren't going to get fair value. They could pay to move Killorn or get a Palat replacement for cheap with a bet on a prospect. I had more value added but it put them at near the same cap hit. They are betting that Foudy can thrive in a well coached system and replace some of what Cirelli is giving. I don't see Cirelli going anywhere either, especially since the Hagel trade signalled an all in for the next two years. That being said, they are losing Sergachev, Cernak or Cirelli (or multiple) when their contracts expire the next year so I don't think getting Nyquist for one year hurts them here.

CBJ can't move Gavrikov. He's too valuable off the ice and in the room, especially for our young Russians.

from this post and the Cirelli trade specifically I would assume you're a Jackets fan that pretty much only pays attention to big NHL news and the Jackets. So.... most of what the field of **** the Jackets reddit is

Tampa doesn't necessarily lose any of them after next year. Cirelli and Cernak are especially going nowhere. Tampa quickly declines this trade. One of Palat or Killorn is out after this year(probably Palat unless he takes a solid discount), and the rest of the cap works fine for this off-season. If Palat is re-signed and Killorn traded for value, it may signal a Serg trade, but if Palat walks and Killorn then leaves after next season, there's a decent chance all 3 of Serg, Cirelli and Cernak are kept. Since Hagel was brought in to likely replace one of Palat/Killorn, and Tampa is overall deeper in F prospects(plus finding a cheaper F replacement is also easier), unless Serg is asking for too much $ already, Tampa could easily go that route.

If Serg does price himself out, or it's looking that way as Brisebois may be looking to extend them this Summer, moving Serg for a big return and getting value for Killorn likely keeps Palat around on another deal. The trades would then probably add 1-2 early to mid picks, a good prospect and a cost controlled roster player that helps Tampa where they need it for next season(probably an RD, 3LD or maybe a young winger in this case). It will come down to how much Serg will negotiate and if Tampa values him more than both Palat and Killorn moving ahead. If Serg is asking for more than 6-6.5, he'll likely get moved as he's not worth more(at least not in Tampa). I can see Serg and Cirelli in the 6 range and Cernak around 4.5, which Tampa can make work.
