But you have had guys like Kucherov who had to be signed when the team did not have the cap space to do so, and no one signed him. I don't know if TB could clear the space needed to match in a week.

That could also speak to teams not wanting to give up multiple high draft picks, particularly in a league where you truly need those picks as good players on entry-level deals to build a competitive team around your higher-priced talent.
