No guarantee, but it's unlikely to happen. I wouldn't classify either of those organisations as 'risk-takers'... Carolina might be interested to bring in another talented Russian I suppose, but I doubt Nashville takes the risk.
If Tampa have spotted their man in 'Schkinner & have the resolve to take him no matter what they would be silly to not recoup another asset for him. If he doesn't go early I reckon he drops.
