Montreal: Takes on Callahan's rubbish contract

Tampa Bay: Callahan + Cirelli

Tampa frees up a lot of cap, Montreal gets a decent young top 9 fwd

(Like armia trade)

Tampa says no unless something useful comes back, theyd rather just buy out Callahan’s contract it’s only one more year. Or give a pick for someone else to take him.

@jbs32 Why would they though? If they buy out Callahan, they have 2.9M less to re-sign Point (who could easily sign for 8-9M). You trade Callahan and you've freed 5.8M. Now with the expiring contracts of both Girardi and Coburn, you've got an additionnal 6.7M freed. Play your cards correctly and you can both re-sign Point, and have a go at Karlsson or another big name UFA this summer.
