  8. Side note, but Adam Schefter breaking the biggest (most likely) hockey trade of the year during the NBA trade deadline and during Super Bowl week is pretty funny

  9. The contract that will be signed will justify why the trade was made.

    That return is brutal imo.

    *Edit*,
    Supposedly Panarin said LA is the only place he wanted to go.

  10. Honestly while Panarin is a solid player, he’s not at all the caliber he once was and I feel like while he would thrive in Tampa, we could do better with that kind of money spent. I also question some of his off ice behaviors, although he seems to have aged and matured a bit.

  16. Damn that’s super cheap compared to what we could’ve sent. We must’ve been all in on the “rental” and not the long term contract.

  17. I don’t know how many people in this sub are familiar with the SA allegations against Panarin, but that alone was enough for me not to want him on this team.

  19. For that cheap, I’m a little sad we couldn’t get him as a rental. Definitely didn’t want to sign him long term though. Way too expensive for an already great top 6

  21. Whew, I haven’t said anything cuz so many people were thinking he was landing in Tampa but really happy we aren’t trying to acquire aging forwards.

  23. Honestly we are on a heater. We dont need to mess with what is working right now. Wouldve been nice to get him sure but I like the core guys we have now

  25. The good things are we can hopefully save money to resign Raddysh and Panarin is going to the west.
