Sandro17 Posted April 21, 2012 Share Posted April 21, 2012 So lets say TB says no to giving us someone who can make an immediate impact in our line-up (Hedman). They are only a good goalie away from being a cup contender, what more a super star goalie? In that case, TB would have to give up a few future assets in order to contend for the cup now. That being said, I think TB would consider doing something like this: Lu to TB for Connolly + 1st (10th) /drool Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest AriGold Posted April 21, 2012 Share Posted April 21, 2012 I expect 1, not both of those choices. Both is overpayment by TBL. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

elvis15 Posted April 21, 2012 Share Posted April 21, 2012 That doesn't clear enough cap space for Tampa, they currently have $3.4M in caps space and they'd be taking on Lu's $5.3M cap hit but only moving $1.6M out in Connelly. Apart from Roloson, all their top guys are signed through next year and it's just depth players making very little that they have to re-sign, which alone will likely cause their cap to increase (or at least stay similar to where it is).

Karlsson`s Flo Posted April 21, 2012 Share Posted April 21, 2012 Only Brett Connolly for Lu? Thats quite the underpayment isn't it? Connolly hasn't even made it to their team yet and is still considered a "prospect" A 6th overall draft pick for a top 5 proven goalie who has been to the SCF and won the Gold medal for Canada...for a prospect who hasn't proven much and hasn't made the team yet?

klw604 Posted April 21, 2012 Share Posted April 21, 2012 Tampa values connoly, he will not be moved, they will over that russian namiekov or something like that with a pick. A superstar usually garnishes you Roster player 1st round pick Prospect Luongo is an older goalie with a bad contract, and he will only get us back a roster player and 2nd round pick.
