Perks of having no tax.

 

Wonder if JB can use this as leverage for Hughes next year :ph34r:

 

Better get him signed before a potential big Makar deal takes that leverage away

What leverage? 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.

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.

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.

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.

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.

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.

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.
