Time for JFBB to lose the F.

 

[DMB06]

I just mentioned it but I honestly believe Stammer is going to be approached again to waive his NMC. JBB isn't dumb enough to have no depth going forward.

 

[Sky04]

Holy hell that's a lot for Cirelli too, he NEEDS to produce.

 

[Master P]

Do you think we would be forced to package Cernak in a deal to ship out Killorn?

 

[Flat Ronnie]

gets even worse. With NMC/NTC, still at 8.5M AAV? I hate it.

16 team no move isn't bad

 

[Point21]

5.2m for Cernak

 

[DistantThunderRep]

16 team no move isn't bad

its worse than you think...look at Killorn.

 

[Felonious Python]

8 years is too many.

 

[Stormbreaker]

5.2 for Cernak

 

[Sky04]

i expect Cernak to be coming up 6-8 years at 4-5m

With the rate these guys are getting, 4-5M is a Ross Colton number.

 

[ccman68]

5.2 is what he's worth but woul've liked a discount

 

[TheSchmidt]

Killorn does not have negative value

 

[Sky04]

Great deal for Cernak, we know he's worth that.

 

[Flat Ronnie]

I just mentioned it but I honestly believe Stammer is going to be approached again to waive his NMC. JBB isn't dumb enough to have no depth going forward.

In previous years this could be an option but he does WAY too much for us right now. Can't afford to lose him.

 

[ThunderRoad]

gets even worse. With NMC/NTC, still at 8.5M AAV? I hate it.

I thought Tampa had to include those to get the AAV down, but somehow Serge walks away with both.

 

[FinnLightning26]

Cernak deal is the only one I like. Cirelli's AAV is too rich and Sergachev's AAV is waaaayy too rich.

 

[RussianGuyovich]

see, now i think 5.2 for cernak is the overpayment.

watch myers outplay cernak in his ~50 games a year he's healthy

 

[ThunderRoad]

Great deal for Cernak, we know he's worth that.

As long as he can stay healthy. His bad luck equates to alot of missed time.

 

[DMB06]

So I guess this leaves Colton, seems as though we're going to see what he brings next season.

 

[Hoek]

JBB finished all his homework already. Wow.

 

[Rschmitz]

Welp.......JBB doesn't know how to sign reasonable contracts, my god. No hometown discount at all


Anyone else feel like we should have kept McDonagh and traded away Sergachev?

 

[DistantThunderRep]

TAXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXEEEEEEEEEEEEESSSSSSSSSSSSSSSS

 

[JTBF81]

Cirelli and Cernak are at least in range(maybe 500k over), but Sergachev....those three now eat up 19.95 of the 24 and change Tampa had projected for season after next. So now Tampa will have projected between 5 and 6 million(based on the cap once again oy rising 1 million), to extend Colton, Foote, another LD, a Killorn replacement and another middle.6 F, plus a backup G. Good luck with that...

 

[RussianGuyovich]

Anyone else feel like we should have kept McDonagh and traded away Sergachev?

no. but that's probably just because i watched McD in the playoffs
