Rumor: Lightning trying to use draft picks to move bad contracts

[topshelf15]

They should be able to gain picks for their contracts ,save maybe Johnson...No??

 

[FlappyGiraffe]

I'd give you Samberg for Killorn + Foote if WPG isn't on Killorn's NTC list

Yes

[Q The tax thing is way over played. First of all the state income tax average in the US is under 5%. Secondly players are not exempt from paying higher taxes outside of their own state. So somebody playing in Florida or Texas or Nevada only gets that luxury for just over half of their games. Also people don’t realize unless you live in Florida like I do that we have amongst the highest sales tax in the country and property taxes are also much higher than average

 

[ShaneinTpa]

Wasn’t Johnson already waived with no takers?
No one is taking him for free at that salary.

That’s not necessarily true. He had an extra year in his contract when he was waived last season. Also teams were struggling financially without knowing when hockey was going to be played again. Circumstances are a little different now.

So tou

Palat is 30 years old,Killorn will be 32 in September.Gourde will be 30 in December.Why again should the Kings give assets for the others as their not competing for a Stanley cup for at lease two to three years?Arvidsson is only 28...

So you’re logic is you would rather have 4 years of good rather than 2 years of better with Stanley Cup resumes

I'm sure you would.

 

[Canadian Canuck]

You don't think the GM's are more concerned about making their own teams better than screwing Tampa up?

Yeah but not unless they overpay of course

 

[CupsOverCash]

Whatever happens with Tampa cap at least we won the last two cups lol!

 

[Rschmitz]

Looks like the Lightning already have something worked out

DFO Rundown – Ep. 47: The Only Mock Expansion Draft You Need - Daily Faceoff

My personal hunch is that Killorn is gone.

 

[Gabe Kupari]

Gourde and 1st or 2nd x2 to Winnipeg for Beaulieu

Thread title should be changed to "offer your worst proposal for Tampa's good players"

I was thinking

"Come all ye vultures! Pick over the corpse of the cap bloated Lightning!"

or maybe

"Dr. Brisebois, or how I learned to stop worrying about the cap and love the Cup"

either way

 

[T REX]

Danult is a much better player than Killorn, Palat and Gourde. If these guys were that good, they'd be traded by now

Says who?

You?

I'm going to back away from the keyboard.

You have a nice night.

 

[AHockeyFanatic]

Lol, Danault is 10x beyter defensivelly than any of those guys, and will grt you 40-50pts in the process.

Making sure tue other team can't score and you'll win the game. The 3 guy named above are overpaid for whay they bring to the table.

No he’s not, don’t be ridiculous. He has similar numbers to Johnson.

I like your alternatives better, much more creative

No Señor,two years of better Stanley Cup 'isn't going to help the Kings rebuild,but 4 years of the right young pieces will.Thank you Señor for playing.

I would expect Columbus to get involved in this. The owner has given JD/Jarmo permission to use the cap space. Palat, Johnson and the rights to Blake Coleman to CBJ for Tampa's first round pick (from Savard trade) and Gabriel Carlsson. That's over 10M in cap space for Tampa and Columbus gets quality and the chance to sign Coleman. I don't know.

Hello JBB, this is Bill Armstrong…..

I'd do that deal but it depends on who Seattle picks in the ED. If they take Gourde or Killorn then we don't need to trade Johnson and Palat. If they take a cheap contract like Joseph, Colton or Foote then this deal makes more sense.

If I wanted to listen to a smart ass and fart.

Price of success...

 

[Damifino]

Lol when you're dealing with zero leverage, you're not getting a 1st for a guy....

If there are multiple teams interested in these guys (which I am sure there are) then whoever gets them will have to pay market value or lose out to the other bidder. The only time when there is no leverage is when there are no takers (last year's scramble to move Johnson.... but that worked out pretty good, wouldn't you agree?).

That's really interesting
