Sujet: Tear it down to keep it maybe a stretch
<div class="quote"><div class="quote_t">Quoting: <b>Imback123</b></div><div>Spot on .. Suter to Tampa for $1M .. he gets paid from buyout anyway .. Tampa can rest Hedmen post surgery and Mc Donough can rest until playoffs all I care .. Tampa biggest challenge is replacing Colemen and Goodrow . They were AWESOME .. need Pk .. Paquette may re emerge and 2 other vet UFAs .. I don't see Tampa missing a beat when their best 10 players returning .. 9 protected players plus Killorn .. DYNASTY</div></div>

I really hope JBB prioritizes just moving the salaries early to give more time for negotiating and being in on cheaper deals. also Back-up goalie is so important. VAsy can't keep playing this much.. I was really impressed by Hak in the playoffs. Think there are many vets who want to win, pay less taxes and live in a beautiful place. Stastny jumps off as a great utility knife at this point in his career

Sujet: Palat gets traded tonight
<div class="quote"><div class="quote_t">Quoting: <b>Luke_xiv</b></div><div>I don't watch a lot of TB so I'm not sure about the actual impact of certain players on the team. I always felt like Gourdes contract is a bit rich (money or term). So yes, maybe you rather keep McDonagh. I guess it really depends on what values BrisBois more forwards vs. defence, younger vs. older. In the end TB will only lose one player anyways. If I was Seattle I'd pick a guy like Foote and stay away from bigger contracts for older players even if they're good players.</div></div>

I'm wondering if they don't take a Joseph or a Foote and leave themselves cap flexibility hoping Tampa has trouble clearing salary and their asking price drops. Get a young asset and then potentially get another proven player on the cheap.

<div class="quote"><div class="quote_t">Quoting: <b>Imback123</b></div><div>I dont see Gourde or Palat as "differentiators" .. where I see Killorn and Mc Donough as differentiators.. keep who you need to win going forward and swap out role players .. Killorns injury makes him easy to expose as Seattle won't take ... too risky</div></div>

<div class="quote"><div class="quote_t">Quoting: <b>coga16</b></div><div>Avs can’t afford this, any contract like McD that goes beyond mackinnons is a no fly zone, they can go risk that on the books

Love the player and would help solidify that d core but 2 years of EJ aligns with the avs and mackinnon contract

Too risky IMO for them to make this deal</div></div>

Sometimes you gotta take the risk in order to be successful. Tampa gave up 3 first round picks for two bottom 6 players and it turned out to be the difference. The Avs have the talent up front but could absolutely use a guy like McDonagh. Even if it may hurt them down the road, the Avs widest window is right now. I understand your mindset and as a Lightning fan I used to think the same way, but in reality, having quality players is the most important factor of building a cup winning team. Besides, Colorado has some options to move money. Compher, Donskoi, Johnson, and Kadri all have moveable contracts and in my opinion it wouldn’t hurt to lose some of those guys. The Avs have the prospects/depth to replace them up front. I feel like McDonagh would provide invaluable experience to a blueline that tremendously needs it.
