Yep....they need space/money for STAMKOS...ont libéré 8,5 M.UHC acquires Sergachev for JJ Moser 2 Days Before Sergachev No-Trade Clause Kicks In:
This is purely a cap related trade, in which TB needed to clear space and UHC needed an offensive minded defenseman to pair with Marino, whom they acquired from the Devils in a separate deal. I think Utah has improved their team substantially, also with the selection of Tij Iginla.
Lightning trade Mikhail Sergachev to Utah amid flurry of moves
After a quiet first day of the NHL draft, Day 2 kicked off with a stunner as the Tampa Bay Lightning traded defenseman Mikhail Sergachev to the Utah Hockey Club.www.espn.com

There is a report in the NY Post that the NY Rangers are working on a trade of Trouba (whom they really do not need) to the Red Wings to free up money to sign Stamkos. Trouba has a no trade clause, but it's believed he will waive it to play in his native Michigan. He grew up near Detroit.

Stamkos To Become UFA; Re-Signing WIth TB Unlikely

Lightning: Stamkos will officially 'test' market
Despite a flurry of moves that created salary cap space for the Tampa Bay Lightning, general manager Julien BriseBois told reporters Saturday at the NHL draft that captain Steven Stamkos will still hit unrestricted free agency on Monday.
I’m hearing that the player they’re targeting is Jake Guentzel & that they’re willing to let Stamkos leave unless he agrees to sign a team-friendly deal.
They want a hometown discount, but they aren't going to get it.
NHLTR is reporting that the primary suitors for Steven Stamkos will be the Detroit Red Wings and Nashville Predators, both of which have the significant cap space necessary to give Stamkos what he needs. I wouldn't totally discount the NY Rangers if they can move Trouba. The problem is the one team Trouba will waive his NTC for is Detroit, and Detroit doesn't want to help NYR free up cap space so they can bid against Detroit for Stamkos.
NHLTR is also listing the Vegas Golden Knights as a Dark Horse in the Stamkos Sweeptstakes, if they can't resign Jonathan Marchessault.

Florida is on my list because he has been mentioned as being on their radar, but I am questioning the fit.. Is he going to be a 3rd line center behind Barkov and Bennett?
Oilers Unconditionally Waive Campbell, Take Cap Hit
www.espn.com
Campbell was, in a very short period of time, much like the Soup he is named for, cooked.
This may go down as the worst free agent signing in the NHL in the last 10 years. And a very costly one. The lesson here might be to be very careful about spending a lot of FA money on a goalie.
Oilers waive Campbell with 3 years left on deal
Jack Campbell, who signed a 5-year, $25M deal with Edmonton in 2022, was put on unconditional waivers by the Oilers, who will take a $10.5M cap hit over six years.

Sam Reinhart, who scored the game-winning goal in Game 7 of the Stanley Cup Final, has reached an agreement with the Florida Panthers on a new eight-year, $69 million contract, according to multiple reports confirmed by ESPN.
Nashville Signs Stamkos, Marchessault and Skiej:

As I predicted! Stamkos is going to be eating lots of hot chicken sandwiches, and listening to Garth Brooks!
Preds make splash, sign Stamkos, Marchessault
The Nashville Predators, eliminated in Round 1 last season, shocked the NHL on Monday with a free agent binge that included superstar forward Steven Stamkos, former Conn Smythe winner Jonathan Marchessault and Carolina Hurricanes defenseman Brady Skjei.

I might just agree with you, only for the reason that when you look at Campbell's stats before he came to Edmonton, there was nothing that screamed out that he was going to crater like he did. Granted he did not have a lot of games played in the NHL based on his years in the league, but he was a highly drafted goalie who gave every indication to the Oilers he was about to come into his own based on recent seasons with the Maple Leafs. The contract looks epically bad in relation to the production Edmonton got in return for their investment, not so much based on Campbell's track record. Surely, all 3 of those contracts, in hindsight, look bad. Campbell did not even give Edmonton one good year of production, on a 5 year deal, and they pulled the plug on him after just 2. The Soup was thrown into the garbage, with the leftover beans from last week.
