Yeah, Tampa signing Karlsson seems like overkill. Especially if they win the Cup this year. Why ruin your cap situation for years to come when you don't really need that player?
I would think that if they win, they won't even consider it. It would just be too difficult to make work.
It should already be extremely difficult to make work after how good of a season Point had.
Watch Karlsson follow Panarin and Bobrovsky to Florida and they figure out a way to make it work cap wise. That'd be something.
Yeah I can't see Point taking less than $9 million at this point.

Fletcher mentioned in his press conference today that he was looking for one or two forwards that had a good two way game. He also wants a veteran on the blue line and a back up goaltender. First priority with the cap money was resigning the club's RFAs. So how much money is available for adding players is TBD.
What hit me the most out of the Fletcher's press conference today about the players was that he basically said that the club played dumb hockey way too often. He called for a need to change the mind set of the team. Coaching, scheming and all only goes so far. Making dumb plays will negate the best coaching and scheming. It will be interesting to see who Fletcher sees as falling into this category and gets moved.
players im guessing is jake and ghost.
Kucherov's new contract also starts next year. They will also have to have some available space for both Sergachev and Vasi's next contract in a few years, the latter of which could earn a hefty contract.
That would likely be over $25M in capspace/salary. I don’t really think that’s feasible.
Q still cost them over $5.25M a year in base salary (bonuses could take it up to $7M) which is a lot of money anywhere.
I will say one thing though with this potential news & the seasons O’Brien/Rubtsov just had I’m more convinced now than I ever been that we need to trade that first rounder.
Why? Doesn't this mean we need more strong prospects to count on the losses of those guys?
A #10 pick has drastically different value/chance of success than where all those guys were picked.
#10 vs #19, #22, #52, #169.
All of those pics combined is not even double the value of #10.

I was being sarcastic. The names often thrown around aren’t valuable enough when looking at all factors involved for me to part with that pick.

Honestly at this point, resign the RFAs and roll out:
JVR-Giroux-Konecny
Farabee-Couts-Voracek
Lindblom-Patrick-Frost
Raffl-Laughton-Hartman
Provy-Ghost
Sanheim-Gudas
Morin-Myers
Hart
Thats still the best line up we have seen since 2011. No more trash.
