Speculation: 2022-2023 General Lightning Discussion - Part 2

[Rschmitz]

We paid significantly more for Jeanot who is on a one year deal than the Rangers gave up for Kane at 75%

 

[Zwui21]

Everyone's gonna be insufferable if we give the Leafs their first playoff series win in 25 years. It'll be like the Columbus 2019 fiasco all over again lol

Symbolically yes, but this year they actually have a good team (though for the love of God I'd absolutely HATE to be the team that gives the Leafs their first playoff series win).

Jeannot is here to save us from making the Leafs happy

Except Jeannot is 24 and is gonna be with us for a long time at minor cap cost. NYR get Kane for a couple months, unless they want to make cap consessions next year to keep him.

 

[Felonious Python]

What's the record for new players acquired at the deadline in a single season? Lmao

A sign of a well-built team is one that changes everything at the deadline.

I must be old school but I’m ok with rentals for this year if the sentiment is that we are all in. There is no guarantee that Jeannot is with us for a long time at a minor cap cost, this isn’t the Hagel/Coleman deal where he’s locked up, why do I keep seeing it presented that way?

 

[Flat Ronnie]

Is getting bounced early this year really the worst thing? We're gonna have most of the same team back next year.

Ranks these teams on who experiences the most attrition by next year:

Tampa, Boston, Toronto, Rangers

Yes? The team will be a year older and would be losing prime years from our stars and cheap contracts which we paid heavily for. Come on…

What cheap contracts are expiring in the offseason that we paid heavily for?

 

[Zwui21]

Lol so I assume Leafs are about to upgrade their 3rd line with what they get from this trade + the 1st they got for Sandin

 

[Stormbreaker]

 

[Zwui21]

LMAO what is going on

 

[DistantThunderRep]

This was expected. Dubas legit going all in this year. If we manage to beat them this year, Dubas is going to have to go into witness protection.

I honestly think they aren't done, they got too many Ds and still need an upgrade on the bottom six

At some point this much roster overturn in Toronto becomes a negative.

 

[The Gongshow]

It's cup or bust for the Leafs at this point. One playoff series win isn't enough.

 

[RussianGuyovich]

“Is there such thing as cohesion?” - dubas, probably

 

[Rschmitz]

Jeannot? Hagel also doesn’t cost as much if his cheap production ended this year

 

[Stormbreaker]

Dubas going out like Tony Montana if they lose in the 1st round again.

 

[Zwui21]

Curious to see if it's Boeser or Miller

If its one, its Boeser. If its both, has to be Miller.

Not looking forward to this matchup, tbh

Still gonna kick their ass
