Said it yesterday already, there's no need to involve Joseph or any other roster player to unload Callahan now. We'll keep him as depth/ injury insurance/ locker room guy for this playoff run and in the summer, we'll either trade him + prospect/ pick or buy him out.

Ya and people are talking about their young bottom 6 guys like they’re inconsequential. Joseph is 4th among TB forwards in 5v5 P/ 60 and primary points/ 60. Yes his shooting % will come down and it’s not sustainable but he’s more than a 4th liner with speed guy can play. Moving a guy like Cirelli or Joseph doesn’t help the problem because they’ll have to pay a guy a significant portion of Callahan’s cost to replace them and for longer term.

@jbs the deal only has a chance of taking place if tampa needs cap space this summer. If they don't need to move the contract they won't. But if they get in a situation where the cap Callahan is using could be used to aquire a player they feel will be an upgrade for them, they would do something like this for sure. As it stands they wouldn't and shouldn't do this but I also think there are a few teams that might want a little more then joseph or cirelli to take back callahans contract.

Wouldn't be against that trade. Good cap dump move for TB if they want to re-sign Point

They free up enough cap in the summer by buying out Callahan without giving up Joseph. I can only see it at the deadline (where they can currently take on approximately 7 mill in cap as is) and I still don’t think a roster player is going to go. Joseph is a rookie forward whose middle 6 on most teams, if that’s what it takes to trade 1 year of Callahan (and have to replace him with a player likely making at least half of Callahan’s cap hit to make the same impact) it just doesn’t make sense. Buying out Callahan in the summer leaves them with a cap hit of $2 666 667. If they trade Joseph with Cally and have to pay someone 2 mill to replace him they lose Joseph to save $666 667. That’s peanuts.

What about if they want to sign karllson?

If it’s to simply dump cap, then i'm sure Tampa can get a pick for Callahan. No need to bring in Agostino. At least with the pick, they got a chance at landing a player that will eventually have a positive impact on the team and could be around for a while. It’s highly unlikely UFA Agostino would be back next year.

Trading Callahan to save 600k more doesn’t help them sign Karlsson Habby, that’ll require a whole lot more maneuvering and that 600k will not be the difference. They won’t be able to bring in Karlsson. Again I don’t think they’ll have to give up Joseph instead of someone like Stephens, Raddysh etc or a pick instead. If they do somehow get Karlsson, having a guy like Joseph on an ELC is even more important.
