@BoltsJolts Horrible idea to give Carlson 9-10m. If they do that, then theres no Tuch/Larkin (or any other top line upgrade).
That should be the top priority over giving a 37 year old Carlson 10M.
@gatorstrolI@MikeABuchanan@NHLRumourReport I would bet anything that (if he wants to go there) Tampa can sign him around $9.5-10M. With the taxes, that gets him to where he wants to be.
Replacing Raddysh is secondary.
@gatorstrolI@MikeABuchanan@NHLRumourReport They need top 6 help with size, first an foremost. Their defense was top 5 last year as a team. They have depth there.
A guy like Tuch should be #1. Then maybe look at someone like Trouba.
@gatorstrolI@MikeABuchanan@NHLRumourReport Cheap forward does nothing for them. Complete waste of time/money.
Term doesn't matter, their window is the next year or two. No reason wasting Most of the cap on Carlson. He's not the missing piece.
@gatorstrolI@MikeABuchanan@NHLRumourReport How does $10M for Carlson help Tampa's current situation? It eats up most of their cap, and they aren't one 37 year old John Carlson away from a cup.
