Sounds like Stamkos is a little miffed he wasn't signed a year ago, so he's going to UFA no matter what anyway.

Getting a 3rd is (again) great asset management by Carolina

Think the better question is what are the Canucks going to do?

Guentzel and Tanev were reportedly their top targets in free agency.

Not so much, remember the rental cost. At least they moved him for a 3rd.


"Jake Guentzel was traded to the Carolina Hurricanes by the Pittsburgh Penguins on Thursday for forward Michael Bunting, forward prospects Vasily Ponomarev and Ville Koivunen, the rights to forward Cruz Lucius, a conditional first-round pick in the 2024 NHL Draft, and a conditional fifth-round pick in the 2024 draft"

That's what you have to pay for the top rental on the market, though. And it sounds like they were very close to re-signing him until he decided to see what was on the market.

Guentzel is a good player but this contract will not age well.

So Tampa goes all in on a 36 year old D and 30 year old winger while trading away a 26 year old and letting their 34 year old captain walk.

Weird.

Not sure what the Bolts are trying to accomplish here. A little younger on the wing, but older on defence. Does this really make them better?
