Eastside's Hockey Elite Collide

To Tampa Bay:
Zach Kassian (67), 50% salary retained

To Buffalo:
TB1 2028
Alexei Bereglazov (63)
Ivan Barbashev (57)

Confirmed. Selling the future, as usual, to win now. Barbashev and Bereglazov were contingency signings in case I didn't get guys I wanted more, so they needed to move anyhow.

Confirmed.

Despite what it looks like on the surface, we are still very committed to the rebuild. There’s a real chance TB is worse in a few years than they are now. Let’s wait and see what Father Time has in store.

Thanks for the deal Geoff, good luck this season.
