No. He's not. Not unless there is an injury that moves him up. Dude is not playing top 6 anymore on this team as currently configured.

He didn't even play top 6 much last season. Tierney was the one who got moved up when they changed lines.

Mackenzie or Lebrun or someone like that mentioned it after the trade. They talked about how Florida didn't offer Ottawa the same package that they offered the Sharks for hoffman. It was common knowledge... where have you been?
"Ottawa general manager Pierre Dorion contacted the Panthers about Hoffman last week, but Florida GM Dale Tallon said the players Ottawa was looking for didn’t make it a match."

This is rather surprising. You normally don't look to trade top6 forwards in the division. The Panthers may not have too much money but their team is pretty good. This move could backfire for the Sens.

The Panthers org is being run admirably. Look at their roster and they’re setup for a 3-5 year run where they will be really good. Tallon has unsurprisingly done a fantastic job rebuilding this roster.

True. And they could be even better without the advanced clowns and Tom Rowe. They destroyed a lot while Tallon was "promoted"...that story proves that advanced isn't always better. Also gotta know hockey. Tallon may be oldschool but he sure does.

Yeah. If there were any team that could use Karlsson Florida would be the perfect fit. They don’t have the cap space, but they could use an offensive threat from the blue line to round out their roster.
Woooo. All aboard the EK65 hype train! Who else is excited to get let down and have EK go to Tampa?!
We’ll probabaly end up with Ryan while EK65 goes to Vegas.

I’d be okay taking Ryan as a salary dump for Duchene honestly instead of Karlsson.

Have we offered $100M 8 year extension to EK65 yet? I think that deal might get it done. If Karlsson agrees, offer Meier, Braun, one of Ch twins, 2019 2nd and 2020 1st for him. If they want us to take on Ryan salary add Melker and take away the Ch twin.
Except he didn’t. You’re completely making up a reason to put out the joke that is your outrage. You’re not a serious person in part because of stupid emotional outbursts like this that is based on nothing real. It’s quite hilarious really.
Imagine this D
EK-Pickles
Burns-Ryan
Dillon-Heed
Holy shit. Very easily the best D corps in the league.

Absolutely - but no way we can/should keep 3 dmen over $7M. Burns would be the one to be dealt at some point.
If we can't get elite forwards to stack the top 6, might as well try stacking the D.
From a business standpoint, it would make sense to trade burns if/when merkely is ready.

Agree entirely. Taking on Ryan's salary for an elite player like Karlsson is one thing. Taking it on for a good but not even great center like Duchene is quite another.

Potential idea: Tampa Bay really wants EK65, but have no room to take on Ryan's contract (or Karlsson's at this point). What if the Sharks gave up something like Tierney+Norris+2019 2nd to TB/Ottawa and in return ate Ryan's contract but also got someone like Brayden Point and Anton Stralman (to eat his $4.5 million and upgrade the 3rd pair as EK65 replaces him in TBL) in return? Not sure how the value would work on the deal in terms of what SJ would give up (guessing it is likely SJ has to give up a bit more than above maybe), but I am intrigued by the idea of getting a future potential #1 center in Point in exchange for some young assets and eating cap space. DW is going to have to get creative.

Point is a nr.1 Center already...he's their nr.1 Center, too. No, not Stamkos. Point took over last season playing bigger minutes and more important minutes in all situations. Stamkos may have scored more but that's only because of usage and it's gonna change...maybe next season already. Yzerman also mentioned several times that Point is untouchable. I'd happily be wrong but Point isn't gonna go anywhere.
