I just don't see it as a good time for them to go "all-in" -- they've been to three straight finals and won two. All the best teams are in the East this year. And they're all loading up to make a run. Heck, Tampa, Toronto, NJD, and NYR have all made major moves sending out futures to load up for long playoff runs and half those teams will be gone in the first round.
If i was Tampa I'd maybe just head in to the playoffs and see what your current, pretty good lineup has left in the tank instead of overpaying for middle-class assets to try and grind your way to a third championship in four years.
