Phil Posted June 11 Posted June 11 Here are the bullet points: $2.665M AAV, with one year remaning. Bolts are reportedly looking to clear cap, likely in order to re-sign Stamkos. Player scored 20+ goals in a riding shotgun to stars role with Nashville, albeit a few years ago The primary reason for would be to experiment with him at 1RW next to Kreider and Zib as a "drag them into the fight" presence, similar to what Tom Wilson is/was for the Caps, or how Ryan Hartman played top line minutes for the Wild. First man in, always. Physically engaged, always. Goes to the net, always. I originally figured this might be a swap for Kakko, one-for-one, because the money would basically wash. Kakko is expected to sign a one-year deal for his QO ($2.4 million) and Jeannot makes just a fraction more than that, but if Tampa needs to clear room, you can probably do this deal for a pick and a lower-end prospect (like Robertson). If the experiment fails, Jeannot is still a really good, really big, really mean third- or fourth-line presence who you can play in numerous roles because he plays both RW and LW. Opposite Will Cuylle on a shutdown third line? Yup. Hulking presence on a punishing fourth line with Rempe (who wants to play center) and Edstrom? Works for me. All I see are benefits. 2

I always liked him too! I wouldn't even think a guy like this would be available as cheap as you said, Boss.
Valriera Posted June 11 Posted June 11 I’d rather have Dakota Joshua who does the same thing but is better and a free agent

Ryan Hartman could probably be had as well.
LindG1000 Posted June 12 Posted June 12 Jeannot scares me a little, tbh. The idea feels right, but the drop off in production is alarming. He wasn't exactly playing with superstars in Nashville either - his most common linemates were Yakov Trenin and Colton Sissons. Dude might just be what he is. I get that he's nasty, good forechecker, hits, fights, plays that get you through game, but I don't think he's the RW solution. I think he's the guy you might look to replace Goodrow or Vesey.
BrooksBurner Posted June 28 Posted June 28 Quote Tampa Bay is looking to move on from the 27-year-old Jeannot, who has one year left on his contract at a $2.75M cap charge ahead of unrestricted free agency. If Jeannot is available as a distressed asset, it could work for the Blueshirts. https://nypost.com/2024/06/27/sports/nhl-draft-could-seal-kaapo-kakkos-rangers-fate/
