Because as much as we pretend we're the only ones with the cap space to get them, they have more options than the little fish. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Lateralous Posted July 13, 2022 Share Posted July 13, 2022 (edited) How much did they just say Sergachev got for 8 years in Tampa? 8.25? That seems high, no? Edit: It's 8 years x 8.5! Edited July 13, 2022 by Lateralous Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I expect it would not be done either way, but with JG wanting to be in Philly, and Philly wanting him and trying to clear the room, it makes sense this one will take a bit.

Well also even if say JG picked us. It can take quite awhile to figure out the structure of the deal Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I guess the Lightning saw this morning's inflation numbers and we're feeling good about the cap going up next year. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
