Confirmed Trade: [TBL/CAR] Jake Guentzel for 2025 3rd round pick

[unicornpig]

I agree man, a guy that scores 30 goals a year is definitely not worth a 3rd rounder assuming it's only for 5 years!!!

Montreal education system must be piss poor.

So Carolina is potentially losing Guentzel, Necas and Teravainen? That's massive no?

No. Players need to be on their teams by the deadline in order for that to count

So Tampa needs to go to $9M per year to match Carolina then.

Geekie makes them that much better this year.

Future. Sure. But then Hedman/mcdonagh age out

When Geekie is ready, they can move one of Point, Cirelli, or Paul for a D man or two. Moser is also legit , still surprised Utah let him go

 

[BKarchitect]

Big upgrade over Stamkos. (Current version of course).

Perfect world? You have the 22-23 version of Sergachev and bring back Stammer on a short-term deal. But stuff happens and this is a pretty slick pivot.

The defense behind Hedman simply has to be no-nonsense defensively (and Hedman has to continue to hold up, offensively, as elite).

Adding Jake to Point and Kucherov up front is gonna be big. That’s just sick.

I don’t know enough about moser. I thought he was seen as good. We will see. Looks like a push now. See how it goes later.

TB and him already had talks for sure why waste a draft pick unless you have absolutely no trust in the player keeping his word, and if thats the case why do you even want him

Let me put my tinfoil hat on for a sec…

Maybe the Canes were pissed about Tampa potentially tampering and told them if they don’t get a third for his rights they would make a stink about it to the league.

Don’t forget Martinook, Noesen, Skjei, Pesce and TDA!

Bit of a turning point….

 

[Baby Punisher]

JBB waited and lost out on Hanifin, we waited and lost out on Karlsson a few years back. Both were reported "locks" to come to Tampa Bay. JBB isn't playing thag game again. Go get your guy. I like it

3rd times a charm?
I'm not sure if this is enough to make Tampa the cup contender they used to be.

How the f*** are they...?

 

[MNRube]

Guentzel, Kucherov, Point, Hagel, Cirelli
Hedman, McDonagh, Cernak
Vasi

If the Bolts get anything from Moser/Geekie, they could be really good

 

[GirardSpinorama]

Tampa making good moves here, just like Florida did with shaking up the core.

 

[le_sean]

Good on Tampa for just continuing to be competitive. Very difficult thing to do in this league.

Don’t take a penalty against them.

I'm convinced we'll trade Cirelli away one year from now. Trade just before his NTC kicks in July 1st, 2025. À la Sergachev

 

[bleedgreen]

It’s tough to pick which guys you’d overpay to stay. I’d choose Pesce and Skjei but Pesce has a shelf life probably shorter than the contract and Skjei crushed it for two years headed into this contract so he’s going to be really expensive for what he actually brings. Pesce settled Skjei down and makes him look really good. I wouldn’t give Skjei the contract he’s about to get.

The remaining core is good enough to be a middling team that fights for a playoff spot, and that’s without whatever additions are coming. We’ll find a way to spend to the cap and be solid but yup, we’re probably taking a step back.

 

[PaulD]

Bolts making some good moves. Sergachev a decent Dman but 8.5 a year can be spent better. He just ain't that good.
Guentzal

 

[Gregor Samsa]

I get Carolina’s model and keeping a steady flow of young talent in the system ready for when they lose players, but they really need to push the chips in and go for it at some point

 

[Stelio Kontos]

JBB likes doing things that become trends...a 3rd is the highest anyone has paid for rights, I wonder if one day someone will trade a 1st for negotiating rights.

IMO, Tampa's window is closing. JBB seems desperate to be no. 1 in Florida.

Considering Florida just to back to back Stanley cup finals that’s a pretty good goal..

This isn’t Pittsburgh..

Kucherov - 31
Vasilevskiy - 29
Guentzel - 29
Point - 28
Cirelli - 26
Hagel - 25..

Add Geekie, Isaac Howard

I'm very interested in seeing how Carolina's offseason shakes out.

Are they making room for Laine ja Puljujärvi to revitalize the Pula-aho line?

 

[wintersej]

Guess that extension didn’t quite get all the way to home plate.

Good for Tampa, presumably whatever fell short in the extension talks has already been cleared in TB.

Given the circumstances, Canes salvaging a 3rd instead of waiting a day and getting nothing.

Kind of a how was the play Mrs Lincoln situation. Curious where Canes go from here.

 

[Ugene Magic]

They must be confident in signing him if they gave up a 3rd.

They had to do so to get a jump on the market. Nothing is to say Guentzel even signs there, this allows them to talk numbers.

The Pens did this years ago with Dan Hamhuis and he refused to sign with the team.
