Speculation: Kucherov Will Not Attend Training Camp

[Mathew Barzal]

... So it's this guy slated to miss the start of the season?

I live in Tampa and I dont even know for certain what the hell is going on with Kucherov. Its a safe bet that contract talks arent going well as of today .

 

[Redline]

It's unusual that hardly anyone talks about the Kucherov/T.B situation.
He's a big name for so little attention.

Can't talk if tongue is hanging out salivating at the idea that Tampa may need to trade him.

It's not really that surprising to be honest. Hardly anything gets out of our front office. Whenever trades happen it's always the other team that leaks the info.

 

[Pinkfloyd]

And if it's a 2 year contract with an $8M or $8.5M qualifying offer?

edit: Also, players with NMC generally don't let themselves get waived.

It doesn't have to be Filppula. It can be anyone 950k or over like Condra. If it's 8.5 mil, they'll find a trade within 7 days to account for that extra million.

 

[LeapOnOver]

That's an easy match for Tampa. Cutting two mil off the cap won't be very difficult to make work. Send down Drouin, Koekkoek, and Filppula and bring up a cheap forward contract until a deal can be made elsewhere.

Drouin can still be sent down without clearing waivers?

I don't see him missing the start of the season.

They can. I doubt it'll be the case. They may prefer to put someone on waivers instead to clear the space for the time being but it can happen.

Pacioretty for Kucherov.

Let's say a certain tweet from earlier was accurate. Does this work?

To NYI- Gaudreau
To CGY- Kucherov, Barzal
To TB- Strome, Pulock, NYI 2nd '17

I feel as though the value is a bit light to Calgary, but Kucherov is a player who would sign for what they seem to optimally want Gaudreau at (~$6.4M)

This is awful for Tampa. We aren't giving up our best forward for sparse parts.

i don't see kuck sitting out the whole season. he's too american, so the khl is no option for him. yazerman will bend him over a barrel and have his way with him. and that's pretty sad((

Value to CGY is light??

Yeah, sure, Tampa doesnt mind getting ****ed in this deal...

CGY makes out like bandits and TB gets hosed

Yeah, it's sad Kucherov wants to play in the best league in the world. He should give up like Nichuskin.

Kuch would be wasting his time in the KHL.

Calgary easily wins while Tampa easily says no. Isles say no as well. As great as Gaudreau is, Barzal + Strome + Pulock + 2nd is overpayment. I wouldn't kill myself if they did that, but I wouldn't.

 

[Rebuilt]

I dont know but I can virtually guarantee that if the Lightning did this, Drouin would never play another game in a Tampa uniform.

 

[Major Happy*]

Calgary doesn't do that deal either.

Amalie might just collapse upon itself

Do you know he's in Moscow right now? Kinda strange for a too American guy.
