Trade Samsonite with Risto to Tampa for Point. Value will never be higher. Boom. Roasted.

They would hang up the phone. Too much cap going their direction. They will still need to sign vasy (and sergachev) next year. Risto for point straight up, maybe...... maybe.

That’s a big “maybe” maybe add the 7th and a Conditional first

Don't need to do them any favors. Take it or leave it. Here's a physical cost controlled top 4dman for a guy you already simply can't afford. They might even want to add to point just to shed salary. Their team isn't cutting it come playoff time. Or they can just keep getting beasted in the playoffs....... (frank) off imo. I say don't even do it, let them fizzle out every year.

You could be right about point they might trade him if his contract demands get very high but if I’m him I’m asking for 9.5 -10m
I’m cashing out before I go back down

But it’s tough to imagine that Tampa would move him
And if they did, we’d have to send them Mitts

Maybe we can steal W.Karlsson from Vegas???

That's the next gms problem.

Beane gets fired if Clowney flops

See whaley and Darius.

That contract was a huge strike. Darius had signs of being trouble from the start. Whaley just didnt care.

- Boss34


But would Beane wanna risk it with Clowny...
or would he rather make a less risk averse splash?

Threaten to offer sheet him with the Kucherov contract if they don’t trade him. No way they got the cashews. Watch Yzerman do it.

I could see Tampa letting him go I doubt they want to pay him 9m they probably think 7m is fair

They can't afford to pay him 5m without making moves. Do them zero favors.

That would make it even more inexcusable for not moving him though

And Botts could’ve turned the picks he got for Skinner at the deadline into young players who can help us now


This is all different if he knew Skinner wasn’t willing to waive
But it would be a HUGE ERROR if he never even checked
That would be inexcusable imo

- jdfitz77


Do you really think he never talked to anyone about Skinner at the deadline or that no one phoned about his availability? I find that very hard to believe.

Yeah. Offer Sheet him at 7Mx5yrs. They can't match it without shedding a contract or two and even then they can't pay their goalie next year...... no favors.

Was that your boy Cirelli?
I figured it was Point bc that’s who was being talked about

Don’t get me wrong...
I like Cirelli
Just think you’re overestimating him a bit

I look at the Bill's roster and I'm not sure of another "splash" position. Maybe receiver?

Pass rushing defensive end,/ dt is arguably the 2nd most important position on a team. It's a big money position.

Hypothetically it's how you beat Brady. Chase him , make him feel old.

I just think he's probably available and we have connections in management with Houston.
Cap space too

But just bc he might be available, doesn’t mean it would be a good idea

And if there isn’t a pass rusher available NOW,
we can wait till the right one is

We aren’t a Super Bowl contender this year anyways
Playoffs is even a bit of a stretch

I think this year is the best ever

You have to offer sheet someone .

I’m not worried at all about Dahlin they will have him signed next summer

They have to make tough decisions.

They could move Johnson/Palat/Killorn etc but they wouldn’t get remotely the same value as Cirelli IMO.

Cirelli+ Callahan for Risto makes sense IMO.

They replace Stralman and lose a guy they might not be able to pay in a year

This is obviously contingent on them viewing Ristolainen as a stud type top 4

Based on our picks we can’t offer sheet anyone between 4.2 mil (I think) and 10+ mil

***when i first glanced at that pic, i thought it was Point- not Cirelli (just for the record)

Anyways...
I know u don’t like Risto...
but Cirelli straight up isn’t even enough,
let alone adding the Cap hit

Top4 RH defensemen have WAY WAY WAY more value than a 3C

Like u said,
they’re only trading for him if they really value him
So we’d have to get a better deal imo
