If Tampa overpaid for Jeannot it'd take a similar overpayment to get Novak from us

I mean Novak had 43 in 51.. Tampa is only going to make deals like this for below 1M guys.

Nolan Patricks career is over, he's had 3 concussions plus migraine issues.

And Petry wants to be close to home near Michigan. He's not waiving for Tampa.

Tampa Bay doesn't make either of those trades. They don't need Petry or any other RD. They are set at that spot. In spite of what the Preds got for Jeannot, Novak isn't worth half that haul.

Bad trades.

There's no room for error in Cernak's contract at current CH%. He needs to be a consistent shutdown defenseman. Felt like he slipped a bit last year, but I'll give him a mulligan there since it was Year 1 without McDonagh.

Couldn't have said it better. Raddysh 25:13 TOI during the playoffs 2nd to Sergachev on the team and Julien Brisebois comments in the end of season interview he did says the team is more than Happy with Raddysh. Patrick unfortunately is DONE. Jeannot was a RFA with 3 years team control not a pending UFA .

Actually in a year or 2 that Cernak contract is going to look like a steal tbh.

he has a 15-team ntc... Tampa is definitely not on it so no need to even consult him

Montreal wouldn’t want to retain on Petry for 2 years just for Laval depth and a 3rd. It would be much better to keep him at that point.

No, Cernak isn’t overpaid. He is even a little underpaid
