Sandro17 Posted March 22, 2013 Share Posted March 22, 2013 To TB: Roberto Luongo To Van 2013 1st TBL 2014 1st TBL Tampa has all the pieces of the puzzle to become a dynasty except goal tending. We get to move Lu and secure our future as our prospect pool is SHALLOW. TBL might not have enough cap room though so we might need them to pass us something back as salary dump, Garron maybe? Edit: Also, TBL would make the play-offs this year Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JimLahey Posted March 22, 2013 Share Posted March 22, 2013 Stamkos as a cap dump. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
timberz21 Posted March 22, 2013 Share Posted March 22, 2013 I think everyone learned from Burke and trading first round picks for short term fix. At least Kessel was an up and coming star, no way TB does it, for a 32 years old. I could see them trading their 2014 1st along with a poor 2nd liner or a 3rd liner. Not much more than that.

hockeyfan87 Posted March 22, 2013 Share Posted March 22, 2013 Tampa Bay are not going to trade two first round picks for a soon to be 34 year old goalie regardless of his ability.There are many cheaper options available. These include Ben Bishop, Ray Emery, Mikka Kiprusoff, etc. I'm a big fan of Luongo but his acquisition would also not make them a "dynasty". It just makes much more sense to keep those two valuable picks and upgrade in goal with a cheaper alternative who may or may not have more long term value.

timberz21 Posted March 22, 2013 Share Posted March 22, 2013 Toronto wasn't close to a cup 2 years ago. Also, TB has proven that all they need is a goalie to get in the play - off race. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ForsbergTheGreat Posted March 22, 2013 Share Posted March 22, 2013 Tampa wouldn't make playoffs, 54 points is likely to be the cut off this year. Tampa would need a record of 13-4-1 to hit that, Not impossible but very unlikely Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ghostsof1915 Posted March 22, 2013 Share Posted March 22, 2013 Yzerman isn't Burke. Luongo and a 2nd in 2013, 2014 Jensen, Schroeder LeCavalier, the 1st in 2013, 2014 and at least then Yzerman doesn't hang up the phone on you. Long term benefit Canucks, but leaves us screwed as we trade a centre for a centre who is out for the year. But it would help out short term for Tampa. But I don't think Gillis wants to throw away this season, to build for the future. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Phamda Posted March 22, 2013 Share Posted March 22, 2013 Yzerman is not in a rush to make the playoffs. When they made their run, he came out and slowed everyone down and said they are a few years away from being consistent playoff competitors and challenge for a cup. They are more interested in getting ready to be contenders in a few years. Letting Stamps develop into a leader, letting Connolly become an NHL threat and seeing what they have in Lindback and Nameistov Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RyanKeslord17 Posted March 22, 2013 Share Posted March 22, 2013 We'd be lucky to get one 1st from Tb.. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Wiznac Posted March 22, 2013 Share Posted March 22, 2013 They might have been interested in luongo but with miller potentially available and only one more year left on his contract he looks like a more interesting deal Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
