Tbay should trade Stamkos, they don't have any team depth anymore.

tampa aint taking those bums

Dude I don't know what you're expecting for a 33 year old player past his prime, with injury history looking for an extension. Wenberg is a serviceable middle 6 centre, Tanev can be bought out or buried. Goyette would immediately be Tampa's best young piece, he could come in during the 24-25 season and fill Stamkos's top 6 role. The draft capital also helps them build that prospect pool which isn't very good.

nope you gotta add way more for Tampas best player in franchise history who still puts up over ppg numbers and can play centre

Tampa is still competing, There's absolutely no freaking way that Julien Brisebois is trading him.

Are u sure? They seem pretty hesitant to even start conversations regarding an extension and have seem to have started a youth movement within their core. If they aren't top 3 in the Atlantic come the TDL I could see them trying to get some value for him over just losing him for nothing which seems like their plan right now

Steven Stamkos " I can't say what will happen after my contract expires however, I can guarantee I will be a bolt until then." On Bolt TV's "The Block Party" being he has a full NMC what Julien Brisebois may " want to get some value " doesn't matter.

Ohh yeah absolutely sure.

I can't see TB doing this tbh, and it's not for the pieces in the trade.
Goyette and the first are lucrative assets I don't doubt, but if we're casting him off to the Kraken just for him to sign a deal for only $6M over 4 years? We've got the space to sign him to that. No reason for him to agree to the same offer in Seattle and pack his whole life up when he could (or could have) just sign the same thing in Tampa.

Very easy decline from Tampa. They are still in their Cup window, and that offer does little to replace the ppg+ loss of Stamkos. A deal will most likely get worked out in the 7-7.5 range after the season, or.maybe 6.5-7 if Tampa gets a better deal. Stamkos would also never waive his nmc in this scenario, and even if he did, Tampa easily says no without one of McCann/Gourde/maybe someone like Tolvanen/Burakovsky as part of the package in addition to other pieces. Tampa would never accept middle/bottom 6 guys as the "help now" pieces in a Stamkos trade since they are still very much competing for Cups with this core. Any trade involving Stamkos is going to cost something valuable now, not just magic beans and/or prospects that may pan out several years+ from now.
