Rumor: 2022-2023 Trade Rumors and Free Agency: Let’s Run it Back!

Gibson isn't in the twilight of his career. He's still only 28, 3 years younger than Kuemper.

Fair, that's my bad. I don't know why I assumed he was older than he is.

 

[BoxOfChocolates]

I'd be fine with DK @ 2/3 years 5M, there's just no chance he takes that deal

 

[Murzu]

Giroux to Ottawa sounds strange. Does he hate winning? Wasn't he supposed to hunt a cup?

And yes, I know he is from there.

 

[Mighty Makar]

I think Giroux will sign with Ottawa (1 year deal) and knows he will be traded at the deadline.

In the effort to re-sign Palat I don’t know if Tampa is betting much better

 

[Balthazar]

I hate Tampa

 

[Pierce Hawthorne]

Tampa playing the salary cap game again. No doubt they'll buy out Myers to get the 671k cap credit for this year.


They basically just freed up 7.3M in cap space for this year, enough for the Paul extension and a Palat extension.

 

[atreyuavenged]

Just some smart GM work. They do lose a good player regardless.

But they lose a top 4 Dman

 

[Murzu]

Watch Giroux sign in Tampa

 

[Balthazar]

They basically "traded" Mcdonagh for Palat.

And they are happy about it. McDonagh contract is a disaster any minute now.

 

[Pierce Hawthorne]

Honestly I think McDonagh is overrated at this point.


He was really good, but I thought this year he looked noticeably worse and especially in the playoffs and the finals against us I thought he was flat out a liability. Careless penalties and skating was a legit issue for him.


Kind of shocked Tampa was able to move that contract so easily... It should be a red flag for Nashville that Tampa so quickly after the playoffs ended were making a point to try and get rid of McDonagh but I guess not. Have a feeling Nashville is going to come to regret this deal.

 

[hughdreamz]

And they got Foote waiting to fill the hole. I still think they got worse in the immediate.

 

[RockLobster]

Good move for TB. They know they have a finite window with this group and it’s only going to get shorter/smaller. I think they weakened themselves on the backend, but they’re still going to be a force upfront

 

[Balthazar]

Yea WTF is Poile trying to do with his team?

I swear this guy is the worst GM in the league but no one is paying attention.

 

[RoyIsALegend]

Tampa feel they got the best out of McDonagh and it’s downhill from here.

They will clear over 7m and can keep other pieces.

Poile trying to pry open a sealed shut window.

Not a bad move for Tampa, don’t understand it for the Preds.

Wait till he signs Forsberg for $9M for 8 years. They will be SJ Sharks in 2 years.

Overrated GM for sure. I used to think he is amazing but last couple of years have really changed my mind.

Guess Poile believes that McDonagh is what he was two years ago. And that's a mistake.

 

[Balthazar]

Tampa feel they got the best out of McDonagh and it’s downhill from here.

They got the good years out of that contract and now are trading the bad ones to someone else for free.

Damn Poile, come on.

Been that was since the Turris debacle.

 

[PAZ]

I’m still shocked that McDonagh waived his NTC. Based off the return he didn’t give JBB many other options, but you’d have to think staying in Tampa would’ve been his preference unless he’s tired of making deep runs.

 

[The Merchant]

Some nice cap gymnastics from Tampa, per usual. It's gonna be fascinating to see what the first few moves are that Sakic makes. Not often does a team win a Cup then get $26mill to work with.

Not only Tampa didn't take money back in exchange for Nashville to take the upcoming bad years of McDonagh's contract but they also got cap credit. I'd say they did pretty damn well!!!
