Yeah zero interest in Ceci, Granlund at 5m is interesting if we wanted to go the older route, which isn’t my preferred choice of us filling holes. He’s also a lefty and we really need a righty

Get me a legit forward JBB that’s and a Perbix replacement
Cirelli isn’t moving his contract is now a steal with a 95 million dollar cap
This was the start of the rumor.

Tuch would be a great add, but I have a feeling the price that Buffalo would ask to let him go would be very prohibitive for Tampa.

I’ve been excited about Howard since the start. Peep that post history. And I’ll be the first to admit I’m wrong if he’s not an nhler, but he has all the tools. It’s exciting that we can pick up a top 9 player for nothing this season. Come at me bros

No, he shouldn't, and ufa's to be are likely the main targets (or at least several main ones). Just because they are a ufa doesn't mean they won't or can't be re-signed.
When a team is fighting for a playoff spot, no trade will help them become a contender. It's just a waste of assets.
I kinda agree with this
95% of the league is fighting for a playoff spot.
We don't need to be head and shoulders above everyone else in the league to win a Cup, lessons we've learned already. I guess some of you are ok wasting the prime years of our star players because we aren't in contention for the Presidents trophy, I'm not. You can make trades without going all in on short term pickups.

Another very poor take, but it's as expected. The East is fairly wide open this season, and just because Tampa isn't going to be able to coast in like is some previous years doesn't not make them a contender nor does it mean JBB won't be doing what he has pretty much done most years approaching the deadline. He will add players that according to him and the staff, giventhem.a better chance at winning h a title. Some, perhaps all of those adds could be ufa's, and if they help, no problem. Tampa will also have a considerably larger amount of cap space this offseason, so any ufa's he does acquire are likely to be players he sees as those who will be of benefit for multiple seasons to come. This is what a good GM attempts to do when a team's window is open, not worry about some future 1st and 2nd round picks that may help the team in 2029 or beyond.
We know 7 teams in the West and 5 in the East that will make the playoffs. It makes sense for most of them to make trades
For those fighting for the playoffs - Boston, Tampa, Detroit, Ottawa or Columbus - it doesn't make sense. Because their combined chance of winning the cup is zero percent.
Sure, but you need to at least guarantee a playoff spot. Are you confident TB will make the playoffs EVEN if they make a few trades? This team isn't a trade or two away from being decent.
What really wastes your star players prime years is that you're wasting assets in seasons where you're definitely not going to win anything. The salary cap will go up. Pray that Howard is legit, sign a new bottom, and then make trades.
