Rasmus to Tampa allows Tampa to keep Stamkos and not hurt their chances of winning now
Serg is 25, Rasmus is 27 right now?

TB would be trading 7 years of Serg for 2 years of Rasmus.

I get that would fit their competitive window, but Serg is considered better than Rasmus, and TB loves him. Plus it only saves then less than $4M, so I doubt that Stamkos would be interested in that kind of money.

Serg's NTC kicks in on June 15, FWIW.
