Yup, it is going to take time to clean up the mess from Botts

But this is a start

Let's see how Kevin with a Y does...
- Stripes77

He walked him straight to UFA and didn't clean up the RD/LD mess, so it's not a glowing start.

Have to ignore the past mistakes and make the best decisions now. Bit of a clean start.

How does Tampa do it

Botts was incompetent
- Fattony1187

We've had a few of them, looking like he had some decent drafts

People are here to comment you seem to have a hard time dealing with that.

Maybe people should look on the bright side If salary wasn't retained that means they saved it for a bigger move

I still think Ralph had more say over this roster at that time than Adams did

People don't think like that, well other than Lunaion

Hearing that the Blue Jackets could be getting a first-round pick if a David Savard trade to Tampa gets concluded... trade isn't done yet twitter.com/DarrenDreger/s…


First round pick and Johnson?

Other than Hall who?

Sam?

Everyone else still has term left and I don't want to hold salary for more than the rest of this season...

Botts was incompetent
- Fattony1187

We've had some arguments over the past about him not drafting in the CHL

I think he did good with Dylan but still fell Cole Is going to be a nightmare for us

Trade official

Just a 3rd is a bit disappointing
- Stripes77

I thought montour was easily our best d man this year

but if they were not going to sign him to an extension, it is what it is

That's pretty dirty of tampa

They keep trading firsts, but don’t diminish assets and get other firsts back

Yup and Florida has plenty of cap space so why would they give up anything more if they don't need salary retained

Yep, not concerned. They have too many rhd, he is heading into ufa, it frees up cap space, and you get an asset for someone heading to ufa.

Keep the train rolling... Miller, Eakin, Risto (for the right deal), Reider... Hall for more than a 3rd, please. I would like to keep Lazar....

I think montour is a better all around d man

Probably true, not a good look for anyone involved.

Bit of a reset now, and the decisions are bigger than ever.

If they can move Eakin I will do a happy dance

Ralph set this franchise even further back than it already was
