I think, and hope, the Karlsson to Tampa trade, after an extension(8 x 11.5) would have to look like:

TB: Karlsson + B prospect
for either

OTT: Sergachev + Cirelli + ......

OTT: Point + Foote + ......

or

OTT: Cirelli + Foote + Raddysh

and that goes from most unlikely to most likely. The last trade maybe includes ryan instead of the prospect.

Wow. I‘d be really disapointded with that last one. If we can get sergachev +. I’d be happy.

Sorry, meant to put point + Foote as the most unlikely. I can see the sergachev one happening, but It'll probably end up being less than the last one.

TB won't sign EK for 11.5 per, no way he gets that much from us.

The point of Tampa getting involved in a huge name player like Karlsson when they’re already loaded with stars is that They can exploit the Tax situation vs places all around the league, but especially Ontario and California which are the highest. Tampa’s huge advantage means that they’re 8.5 mill offer to stamkos was equivalent after taxes to 10.5ish in Ontario (Toronto) . So if Tampa gives him 11 or 11.5, that’s like the equivalent of him getting 13-14 mill in Ottawa, Toronto, San Jose, LA or Anaheim lol if they give him $3 mill more than stamkos, $4 mill more than hedman, they might have an internal power struggle, but also almost guaranteed Kuch has to go. Bad plan.

Sergachev + point/ gourde/ cirelli + a 1st and I'd be happy. maybe add an early round pick if cireli.
