You better run.
Tavares has way more value than Kuchy...
I'd take Kucherov over Tavares in DC easily. Not sure if NYI would wanna trade away the face of their franchise though.

That package makes me hesitate. I'd probably do it, but it's close.
The Lightning sure as hell wouldn't. You could put a gun to Yzerman's head and he would die before signing that pathetic excuse for a deal.
LOL if you wouldn't do it, ok, but this is the exaggeration of the decade.

Remember this is under the assumption Tampa is forced into trading Kuch.
He's consistently ranked in the top 30-50 of the league's best defensemen, making him a legitimate first pairing defenseman. If anything he is underrated. There's a perception that he earned from his time in Chicago that he wasn't to be trusted defensively and was best used as a 5th-6th in an offensive role.Some colossal overrating of Nick Leddy in this thread....

Lol. Nick leddy is a stud on every level imaginable, and hes still a kid, basically.
The Lightning have no use for futures. They're primed to win the Cup now. This season. If they're trading Kucherov they need to get back a player of equal value. Not quantity futures that do nothing for them.
I doubt Stevie Y is this stupid to not have cap space left over for his 2nd most important player outside of Hedman.
I would think he'd sooner give Bishop away for free or give a 1st attached to Callahan or Filppula to clear cap space than trade Kucherov.
Kucherov won't be going anywhere. If the Lightning can't clear space for him the Isles should offer Greiss + 1st round pick for Bishop.
I love the enthusiasm but the answer is no all around. Long Island would be a great landing spot for Kuch but there's nothing the Islanders would give up to make the deal happen.
So the Isles would pay 12M for their goalies? Sounds cool

Snow offers Vegas something nice so they keep their hands off DeHaan.
