It is subpar because it is not what Tampa needs.i'm not sure how many times this can.be said on here by ppl who know Tampa's situation well. Tampa could care less about a later 2nd round pick. If they are going to move a player that is slotted to be a top 6 winger for many years to come, they will need to get back players of value that help them now. A cost controlled 3LD and bottom 6 F is what they would value.

Since they have no need to move him, the acquiring team can meet their price or the trade just doesn't happen. Brisebois should care less what some algorithm says, as he is not in a position to.toss Colton for what another team thinks.is fair,.but what Tampa actually wants(or close to it).

There's really nothing else left to discuss, as I and many Tampa fans.have already made this same position clear on literally dozens of Colton to.N.J threads where N.J..fans make a great offer for them, while not taking into account what Tampa would want and thinking Tampa has little recourse, until once again corrected by Tampa fans.

Especially interesting that there are some wild underpays, when checking against Evolving Hockey’s projections

I’d be very interested in seeing this roster of 21 lol

How are you measuring Ross Colton’s value on the trade market though, without looking at similar comps? And why does this immediately write off the option of a reputable reporter?

Not doing the work for you, and I'm done here. The trade is terrible for Tampa's position and what they value and actually need.

Don’t worry, you don’t need to. I’ve looked at all the rosters of 21 “on here” and they’re laughably unrealistic.

Nothing says “I know the reality of my NHL team more than you” more than telling people your team will happily roll into an NHL season with 21 skaters on the roster

Also what algorithm?

21 if they have to. Whatever algorithm the reporter likely used as part of their analysis and calculation of supposed trade value. The analysts you listed and have cited from poorly, have very rarely been right about supposed moves from Tampa, since very little accurate info leaks from Tampa before any deal is basically done. Perhaps if you had done the step of seeing what Tampa actually would want in a trade, a reasonable offer could have been made, but that's quite seldom the case from N.J..fans on here with Tampa trades involving Colton.

Colton is coming to NJ for peanuts and you'll just have to deal with it. Tampa could use that pick since they traded the next decade worth of picks for a 4th line player.

Algorithm says so

Lol, cool story. Too bad ppl thought your trade was terrible, told you why it sucks for Tampa, and then you had nothing good in response but spinning the same false narrative about Tampa having to move him.

You see the big lettering on the top left hand of this site that says Cap Friendly? You should click on it and look at the lightning's cap situation.

Funnily enough no one can justify it being such a terrible trade, except for blaming the algorithm that doesn’t exist

21 man rosters can work fine! It can even be 22 if we pay below market value for every Free Agent!

Or you know, justifying it based on Tampa's actual needs and not what some Devils fans thought based on one random report. If said reporter is so analytically inclined, there's more than a decent chance they are using some kind of algorithm or comparable tools, to aid in the formulation of their theoretical player values. Keep throwing pitiful shade attempts though, it's always at that point in any kind of discussion where I know that person has nothing of relevance left to contribute, if they ever did.

Nah, every roster that I create anyway uses fair market value within a few hundred k, at most. Perhaps I don't use whatever model or chart you consider, but I don't really care tbh. Tampa will run 21 if they have to, yes, especially if that's the difference between Colton or not. More than likely, Tampa will just go a bit cheaper with the extra F or 3LD, and they'll run 22.

Just tell me you didnt look at the Lightning cap friendly page to see their cap situation instead of this long winded word salad.
