Okay, but the question is, does he have that gas next season?He still had a strong year, he has some gas left in the tank.
Tampa takes a huge gamble. Also gave up 2nd rounder while doing so.

And got a 4th back while massively improving their blueline for the next season or two. It was a good trade for what both teams were looking to accomplish it would seem.Okay, but the question is, does he have that gas next season?

is 35 year old McDonagh considered as improvement? time will tellAnd got a 4th back while massively improving their blueline for the next season or two. It was a good trade for what both teams were looking to accomplish it would seem.
Trading a second and getting a fourth back is a big gamble? f*** outta here, lol.Okay, but the question is, does he have that gas next season?

Uh.. deal?What would the Sharks need to add to the 14th overall pick to acquire Cernak? You can have Rutta back too if you want.
Cernak does NOT have anywhere near that kind of val-- yeah, I think that would just about cover it. Tampa would only just accept such an offer. They'd be super reluctant to let Cerny go.What would the Sharks need to add to the 14th overall pick to acquire Cernak? You can have Rutta back too if you want.
Lol if you think Cirelli would involve retention. Clueless of the player.I don't think anyone would take him unless TB keep a portion of his salary.
He's a 40 pts player playing with really good players in TB top6, he's overpaid.
Stamkos and McDonagh are good friends. One more reason to stay.That IS a strange way to show Steve Stamkos he's a priority...
Very much so, and based on his stats sinve leaving Tampa, he looks to be very able still. The trade was fine for both sides.is 35 year old McDonagh considered as improvement? time will tell
Sergachev is not going anywhere. Not sure why he keeps saying it. If it's anyone is CirelliWhy is everyone so willing to see Sergachev go as he is arguably their best Dman going into next season if healthy?
Then again maybe the assets coming back and the ability to resign Stamkos is worth it?
That brings them to a 20-man roster, which is a tough road to follow for a full season.It's a good pickup by TB, but that leaves them with a little over $5m to resign Stamkos & one more depth forward, which can come in at minimum wage. Still that leaves just over $4m for Stamkos.
Someone else going out of TB?
Trotz and Brisebois clearly have no respect for the remaining teams in the hunt for the cup- making trades like this during playoffs is in the unwritten rules and is extremely fround upon
Exactly why would it matter to any of the playoff teams?It really isn't.
I don't understand the direction Nashville is going in. McDonagh was good this year and also we don't need cap space. Trotz clearly wants to compete now also so I don't see how this makes us better but I guess will take the 2nd round pick?
According to McD he called Stamkos who just got off the ice practicing with Kucherov. I assume this was part of a package to keep Stamkos and let him go out trying to win a cup with the boys one last or two last times. Too bad we couldn't off load Sheary, Jeannot, or Perbix in this deal to create more cap space.That IS a strange way to show Steve Stamkos he's a priority...
Trotz is a real one.
Because it didn't, nor would it have ever, involved anyone but Tampa and Nashville in any form or fashion. This isn't a case where Nashville was trying to sell McDonagh off, this was nothing more than a courtesy call for a player to be able to move back home.Exactly why would it matter to any of the playoff teams?
You haven't watched Sergachev and Perbix. Or Sergachev and Raddysh. Or Sergachev and Lilleberg. Or Sergachev and DeHann. Or Sergachev and Fleury. Or Sergachev and Bogosian. Or Sergachev and Foote. And it isn't even like "Mistakes are made all the time. It could work, they just need time" and instead it is "Holy shit burn it with fire and NEVER do that again" In other words, our guy who was supposed to replace McDonagh is only good with is Cernak. It is a FANTASTIC pairing but guess what? Cernak is always hurtis 35 year old McDonagh considered as improvement? time will tell
If you say so.... He's still a 40 pts player playing over 18 min per night with guys like Stamkos on his wing. He's not a 6M+ player imo but I guess you value his defense very highly.Lol if you think Cirelli would involve retention. Clueless of the player.
