<div class="quote"><div class="quote_t">Quoting: <b>Champa_Bay</b></div><div>1. you have like 10 minutes to take this down before all of tampa comes for u
2. Hagel trade is one of the best trades for Tampa in recent memory, and he signed for 6.5 for 8 years while being able to carry his own line offensively and have his scoring be on an upward slope, he's 4th on the team in points without being on the top powerplay unit
3. How many 3 mil third line centers have 20 goals and 40 points like nick paul
4. Raddysh led the team in even strength ice time and is locked up for &lt;1M for 2 more years

I agree and disagree, you only talk about his signing in there, yes they are all great but, he keep overpaying and trading our future. For exemple: Barclay Goodrow for a 1st, Goodrow was an amazing part of our cup runs but, we can all admit he is not worth a 1st. Even Hagel, 2 1st round picks for an unproven player who was not considered a good prospect by anybody. Again, it worked out, he exploded in Tampa and he is one of my favorites but, he probably could have paid way less for him. JBB is good at finding who fits the team but, he gives up too much to do so. With all of that being said, we sould not fire him.</div></div>

<div class="quote"><div class="quote_t">Quoting: <b>CoachMark</b></div><div>Maniaked, I disagree . When you have 5 of your 6 top 6 sign for 3 years. Top 4 defensemen( Sub Lillenberg in if you wish, he's a keeper) and a Top Goalie all in their hockey prime years and a few above prime, It is win now.) Putting Motte, Eyssemont, Chaffee, Glendenning into that bottom 6 with Paul helped them with their penalty kill , faceoffs and depth.</div></div>

This team is good enough to make the playoffs and making it past the first round for sure. This year, we were unlucky to play Florida but, we are not winning another cup without retooling. The core is great but, we need to build around it. Depth scoring as been an issue as of late, the 3rd line is pretty bad and the 4th is fine. Same thing for our defense, a bunch of depth guys that can't defend that well. Going back with the same team would be a mistake in my opinion.

<div class="quote"><div class="quote_t">Quoting: <b>RipNasty</b></div><div>None of those guys matter and do you think you'll find better value? Jeannot at 2+ million to fight people and do nothing else doesn't have value. Paul is pretty good and cheap, but will you find better options at his cap hit? Tampa could retool around Vasi, Kucherov, Point and Sergachev. They could recoup some pretty great assets by moving Hedman as well, (unless he's willing to sign a crazy cheap extension). But it's pretty clear the depth of this squad just isn't there anymore.</div></div>

Cernak: He has a no trade clause starting next year, if we trade him it's now. He has good enough value to get us picks and a depth piece in return.
Perbix: We have Crozier and Raddysh that can play a similar role. His contract is good enough value to get a 3rd back.
Paul: He is a 3rd line center with solid value, trading him only make sens if we get a young center back in another deal.
Jeannot: Basically a cap dump, I love him and would like to keep him but, unfortunately in Tampa, he can't play higher than the 4th line it seems like.
