no way tampa does that first deal

Anaheim accepts

Totally fine to let Silfvy go chase a cup

Brisebois likes to overpay, maybe won't pay that much but it is just to show what we can trade

those aren't even guys tampa should be going for though, and those prospects are only going for better players

sets up a great second pair with Sergachev gone and Cates is a young, defensive minded center that Brisebois would like

if they're giving up those assets its for a much more impactful player

both Walker and Cates are impactful, Walker for Gauthier, Seeler for Perbix, Cates for everything else

yea not giving up gauthier for walker, dont need cates and both defensemen are rentals

it is an overpayment just to show what we have to offer for these players, not that all of them will get traded.

It's a little expensive, but agree that Walker and Seeler would be impactful in helping the blueline. I think tbe idea would also be to re-sign them both, so they wouldn't be just rentals. I wouldn't give up both Gauthier and Thompson though; however, if one of them was required to seal a deal for both Philly dmen, then it could work.
