CarltonTheBear said:Tampa trades away McDonagh when they shouldn't have (betting he would fall off in his 33 and 34-year old seasons, he didn't) and then reacquire him when they shouldn't (more likely to fall off in his 35 and 36-year old seasons, and they're in more of a cap bind with Stamkos). Alrighty.
Pretty tidy bit of business from Nashville though, but it also leaves a big hole in their defence.
They have a pretty significant buyout penalty about to hit their books, so, they needed to do something to have any real flexibility this summer and next summer. Almost $12M in dead cap next season.
