What NHL GMs are asking now is does he have what it takes mentally/physically to be a star in the NHL? And whatever is holding him back in Tampa, can they fix it on their respective team?
If one GM thinks so they will offer a lot. If the consensus is no, then the offers won't be so great.

Sometimes players need a change for different reasons and sometimes team needs can factor in. I remember a lot of people questioning Dougie Hamilton's attitude; Tyler Seguin had issues in Boston but seems to be working out fin in Dallas. It's not always perfect but some marriages work better than others. I think it's worth the risk for a player with that type of skill even if we have to offer a first to do it.
