Tampa is not trading a 1st for a declining Palat.

the boys are not coming back in town for tampa, other than mac

realistic in what world? SO we give up Palat and what happens when will have inexperience once again in playoffs do you not think? PS jeannot is not it. Another devil fan refusing to upgrade the dcore. No thanks on sheary and Michael. Duhaime,Trenin,Carrier,Lafferty martinook are better and cheaper options they what you want. SO explain how this team does in playoffs when they have like no experience.

TB isn't taking more than a million and a half back trading off Jeannot and Sheary. More than likely these are a futures deal. Love Pally can't afford the reunion.

Flames counter with 10th Overall for Markstrom with retention otherwise they continue listening to other offers

Way too much for Markström. Don't see the Flames being in any position to command a return including Alexander Holtz at this point in time.
Maybe more realistic to swap Holtz out for Chase Stillman or Josh Filmon.

Tampa isn't doing that.

I like Stenlund for 4C, he'd be good on this Devils team.

not sure how much interest the flames would have in Holtz

Totally unrealistic. Calgary isn't taking lowball offers for anyone.
