I didn't know I was talking to Steve Yzerman. You seem pretty convinced you know exactly what Tampa is looking for. There has been mention of D but the consistent talk has been a young age co trolled asset of similar pedigree.
Stamkos wants to play centre if they appease him and shift him over there is opens a spot on RW.
At the end of the day what trade can Tampa do that is going to make a ton of sense to them? They need a cheap player and they want a young player. Teams are not lining up to give up their top prospects so they may need to take a young player that has substantial upside but is a little broken.
