I'd love to see a big trade with the Lightning.
If they could convince Tyler Johnson to waive for Calgary, and package him with Cirelli and Cernak for a package of futures, it would plug several holes on this leaky boat.
Cirelli - young top 6 two way C, just 22 and slots between Monahan and Backlund perfectly
Johnson - right shot top 6 forward who can play W or C (he's buried on the depth chart there, he'd likely flourish with more ice time)
Cernak - young top 4 right shot Dman to slot behind Andersson
I'd be fine with a package that includes any number of the following pieces -> Pelletier, 2020 1st, Dube, Kylington, 2021 1st, Phillips, little Z, Petterson or pretty much any other picks or prospects.
Not all of those pieces, but any combo of them that Tampa might be interested in.
Obviously under normal circumstances they wouldn't move Cirelli or Cernak, but as mentioned a million times, they are in cap hell and both are RFA's that could very easily be signed to offer sheets.
