Also we don't really have good pieces to trade with Tampa- we don't have an enormous amount of players who are overproducing their contracts and not a lot of strong prospects to offer Tampa... I just don't really see how we can help them.
Point, for example, only makes 6.75 for the next 3 years. So we can't offer them Monahan or Gaudreau, there are no cap savings in it for them. We don't have any prospects or younger players that would be enticing enough for that trade.
If Stamkos agreed to a trade (and they wanted to trade him) you could squeek out some cap savings on a Monahan swap, but again I am not sure it is worth it for them (or for us...)
I just don't see how we can help them for their bigger name players. Offersheeting Cirelli or Sergachev might be the only way to get something out of them.
