Sujet: Tampa defense in 2025-2026
<div class="quote"><div class="quote_t">Quoting: <b>Wrestlingfan5</b></div><div>Possibly trade perbix and jeannot to resign dumba?</div></div>

Both Jeannot and Perbix need to be gone, but not so they can waste cap on Dumba, who is terrible. Tampa should be looking at a number of RD this summer if they make it to ufa. Any of Roy, DeMelo, Walker, Chatfield, maybe Carrier if they'll get over whatever bias they have on a dman under 6', and for older possible ufa's, Tanev perhaps on a shorter deal. If they look for more expensive it would be Pesce or Montour maybe, but they won't have that cap space available. DeMelo is the best target by far, as Tampa needs a good defensive RD. Roy and Chatfield would be the next top options(again maybe Tanev), that Tampa should also look at. They definitely need to add someone, but luckily, this summer is shaping up to be a good one for that position.

Sujet: Hedman new contract
<div class="quote"><div class="quote_t">Quoting: <b>Wrestlingfan5</b></div><div>So he’ll be 34 and look at kris letang? Nobody really gave that contract to much crap</div></div>

Letang took a paycut from his previous contract though, everyone kind of understood that the term was the cost of doing business on that one. You're giving Hedman a raise and also giving him a ton of term.

<div class="quote"><div class="quote_t">Quoting: <b>Wrestlingfan5</b></div><div>But yes, probably honestly won’t sign for 6 years, I’m more looking at AAV.</div></div>

The two are inherently tied though. He could take a Letang contract and make less than his current AAV for a long term. Or he could take a short term contract and probably get a mild raise, assuming he doesn't fall off a cliff. If you're looking at an 8.5 AAV, you're probably looking at a 1-2 year contract. And honestly, that would be smarter than the Letang thing if you care about your team beyond 2026. The Penguins are living and dying for the next three years and then entering a rebuild, and that's why everyone was like "yeah the Letang contract makes sense for this team's situation", because who care what the last three years of Letang's deal look like if the team is rebuilding?

Is Tampa planning on following the same path? Given the contracts they just handed out to Sergachev, Cernak, Cirelli and (to a lesser extent) Point, I would think probably not. They're planning to continue being at least vaguely competitive for the rest of the decade.

Sujet: Signing killorn and trading colton for picks
<div class="quote"><div class="quote_t">Quoting: <b>Wrestlingfan5</b></div><div>Agreed, I’m just playing around with different scenarios. I did just post another team. Under keeping colton &amp; cole. Let me know what you think on if we kept everyone but killorn.</div></div>

I've done the same thing. Posted a few Tampa rosters. I did one where I tried keeping both Colton and Killorn and the best I could come up with was 2.5 mil AAV for both of them and that's on a 21 man roster. I think I had Jeannot making around 1.65 mil. Then Perry and Nedelkjovic at 775k. Schenn at 850k. Bogosian as the 7D. Eyssimont as 4C.

But no one believed Killorn would take a 2 mil paycut. He's apparently making McDavid money as a UFA. 🤭

An exaggeration but you get my "Point."😉
