Joe Smith of The Athletic: Tampa searches for that missing piece to the puzzle. With a little wiggle room cap wise, who can they target? Names that keep popping up include Wayne Simmonds, Micheal Ferland, and Mats Zuccarello. Also, Radko Gudas, Cody Ceci, and Chris Tanev popped up as possible fits recently.
Simmonds and Ferland expect to cost a bit more than Zuccarello. Even though Zuccarello is enjoying his hottest stretch of the season, the winger could go cold again. Gudas is a brute of a defenseman who has nice possession metrics (+3% above relative).
