Their elite core is aging and the team is past their peak. They don't have a 1st round pick for the next 2 years and no 2nd round pick this year. They have a crummy propsect pool according to the Athletic. And if weather is your concern - there are a bunch of teams in good weather climates that have a much brighter future in the next 6-7 years than Tampa based on their current outlooks.

If hanifin did choose Tampa I’m pretty sure it’s not for the 6-8 year future. It would be to see if they can win another cup in the next couple of years. They have a #1 dman, #1 goalie, #1 centre and a superstar winger. He could do a lot worse than Tampa if winning the cup is his goal in next 2 years.
