Going to be interesting to see how they manage to work this with trades. 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gator Posted November 25, 2020 Share Posted November 25, 2020 (edited) Perks of having no tax. Wonder if JB can use this as leverage for Hughes next year Better get him signed before a potential big Makar deal takes that leverage away Edited November 25, 2020 by Crabby Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hughes already has had a better offensive season than Sergachev by nearly 15 points and already has the same amount of playoff points. I think this contract already isn't great for the Hughes talks. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
c00kies Posted November 25, 2020 Share Posted November 25, 2020 They were just waiting for Boychuk to announce his retirement before signing Sergachev Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That is a pretty shallow way to look at it. Sergachev is a much better all around defenceman who can't just be measured by his offensive numbers. He brings more in all the areas Hughes brings less. It should really be quite a good comparable to use. If we could actually get Hughes at a $5-5.5 million bridge deal and Petterson at a $6.5-7 million bridge deal, we would be in pretty good shape to ride out our veteran contracts expiring.

DeNiro Posted November 25, 2020 Share Posted November 25, 2020 Okay now it’s either Cirelli or Cernak that need to go along with a Johnson, Palat, or Killorn trade. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
KirkSave Posted November 25, 2020 Share Posted November 25, 2020 TB will likely need to move a 1st rounder with a player whose salary they need to shed. Some team will get a sweet deal. Too bad we probably can't swing a deal since we don't have cap space. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Fanuck Posted November 25, 2020 Share Posted November 25, 2020 Hard to believe that MS will still be RFA at the end of this contract. TB is getting great value in this contract in my view - but they still have work to do. Cernak and Cirelli aren't signed yet are they? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

They’ll also have to trade one of Cirelli or Cernak unless one of them is willing to take a one year low dollar deal. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Tampa will likely pay the price to move a vet rather than lose a core young player - Brisebois was adamant that he's not moving those guys. Both Cirelli and Cernak are offer sheet eligible. They signed Sergachev leaving them only about 5M in off-season cap space. Seems like a pretty good indication that they aren't worried about an offer sheet and/or know that they can create cap space by moving one of their vets. Would think that they know what they have to give up to move contracts. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Would think that they know what they have to give up to move contracts. They’re 2 million over the cap with only 19 players signed. They will have trade more than just one vet to get under the cap and re-sign Cirelli and Cernak. I wouldn’t say that’s an indication of anything. They don’t have a choice if an offer sheet comes in. They’ll likely take the picks and move on. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Would think that they know what they have to give up to move contracts. I do believe moving a veteran is the plan. But I also believe that Bowman had no intention of having to move Teravainen? Until he did... In a parallel universe? I do not believe Benning would have had Tanev or Markstrom walk. Until he did... Like you quote Brisbois, Benning was quoted as Markstrom being a priority? That he wanted to sign Tanev. And that they were going to talk, and make a deal work. Covid happened, the salary cap freeze took place. Large chunks of planning everywhere fell apart. Maybe Tampa's GM will be the so cool, he could make plays with a cigarette handing out of his mouth? As Bieksa alluded about CT. But I would be surprised. Shocked in fact! If they, like us? Like most teams don't have casualties. I cannot envision them pulling off the perfect storm. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
J.I.A.H.N Posted November 26, 2020 Share Posted November 26, 2020 Well Sergachev at 4.8.......means Cernak is at 2.75.....max Probably 2.5 Million Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
