Also, neither team generated much offensively. So while those xgf numbers don’t look great they understate how good Brodie/McCabe were defensively. Think they were on the ice for one ES goal all series.
Man gravy.I do want to caution people on expecting the same Schenn against a quicker team, which they'll undoubtedly face in round 2. He did his job though. The trade was worth it just for that one series. Anything more moving forward is gravy.
Was never nervous!This is the problem in the cap world and why its designed as it is, every team needs that guy. The "if we just had a <insert position here> we would be even better".
But dang man, buckle up. You thought first round nerves were bad? Whoo boy just wait.
Yeah, we really shut down their big guns 5v5.
Literally unbelievable. I had to check online to see if it really was that many picks. How did Nashville have the guts to even ask for that, not to mention TB agreeing to pay it??So now that the first round is safely over, and there's no longer any chance of him being the guy to single-handedly beat us in game seven---how fucking awful was that Tanner Jeannot trade for Tampa?
A former 1st round pick + 1st, 2nd, 3rd, 4th & 5th round picks in exchange for Jeannot, and this dude gave them one goal and four points in 20 regular-season games and zero points in three playoff games before being healthy scratched for the last couple games of the series.
Thank god Tampa didn't put that huge pile of assets towards a deadline acquisition that was actually good.

Is that really down? I think I’d have preferred to give two 1sts rather than one former 1st and a whole draft.I'm going to bet that the ask was 2 1sts and Tampa negotiated down to that.
