That’s probably the valuation for Cirelli, but I just don’t think Tampa Bay has any plans to move him. He’s just one of those guys that has a ton of value to the team.

That doesn't even get you a phone call about Cirelli. Two cap dumps, a first round pick in a weak draft and a 2nd. TBL passes

Not that TB would move Cirelli, but Kulich would probably be a target for TB over Neuchev imo

Cirelli's not on the block and unfortunately for Buffalo it would take an established young player (Quinn, JJP) or their blue chip prospect (Savoie) to get Tampa to even pick up the phone.

Not that I disagree, but explain how either Krebs or Neuchev are “cap dumps”

If they want to keep Stamkos, there is a cap dump in there that may have a surprisingly bad return. I doubt it’s Cirelli.

I'm not sure you know what a cap dump is...

Savoie and a second.
Does that get it done?

this is a first - since when are players on ELC's "cap dumps"?

Jeannot (though he's not much of a dump, just bad injury luck) and Sheary (for sure a dump), and getting anything of value for Perbix. Cheaper and safer than Cernak/Cirelli/Sergachev

You seem to be in a similar situation as Boston last year. They gave up Taylor Hall for Ian Mitchell and Alec Regula. I’d expect similar value. You may even have to pay to get rid of some of those guys.

Sheary for sure. Might be better to just buy him out and carry the ~550k in the long run for 4 years. Tanner might have some positive value still, seems like an Isles player, and I'm guessing Perbix can easily find a home - 1 year left for an RD who set a career high of 24 points in his second year @ 1.125M in a majority 3rd pairing role has got to get some suitors for a good price for sure.

Tampa declines
