Yeah I know likely nothing happens today, but this is the rumor thread. I dont really know how the deal would get done either, TBL have like no cap space so they'd likely need to send someone back with some term/$$$ but cheap ass Melnyk doesnt wanna pay anyone. We shall see


(a good batting average is like 30% so )

Point/Serga + 1st + ??

Would have to be the start if they wanted Heiskanen from Dallas and they didn't do it.

I think they keep Sergachev personally, I dont see why they'd trade him when he's still so young and has been a solid defenseman so far. Seems like a greedy move to get a few years of EK, but if they are going for it then maybe they would? Possibly Ottawa is demanding him back or no deal.

Point makes sense, the other guy that makes sense to me would be Tyler Johnson. Either of those two, plus likely Cal Foote who's TBL best defensive prospect and maybe another prospect? TBL doesnt have a 1st pick for next year. Moving Point doesnt give them any cap relief ($700k technically) so the deal would have to include some other pieces aswell. Right now Tampa only has 4.5 Mil of cap space.

Point >>> Serg imo.

Not a fan of Serg, if he's the main piece coming back I'll be disapointed. With that said, I can't see them trading Point. Cooper said he was like his Patrice Bergeron iirc, they rightly think highly of him.

I'd be happy with Heiskanen + from Dallas or Makar + our first back + from Col personally.

Oh my god if we trade Karlsson for our own 1st round pick back

As expected, Heiskanen makes or breaks the deal with Dallas.

Edit: Tampa looking for a 3rd party to take some cap hits.

coulda been lolnucks but nopeeeeeeeeee too much logjam unless benning will just waive


also Arnott : Cutting to the chase, other teams considered 4 years as well, not only the #Canucks. 8-9 teams were in the mix. wew (arnott is beagle's agent.)

hilarious how EK and Hoffman may end up in the same state anyway
