Speculation: 2023-2024 General Lightning Discussion - Part 4

[ccman68]

so red wings had to pay to get rid of walman's contract? i'm sure we will easily dump our 10 times worse contracts though and get great returns no worries

 

[These Are The Days]

Our 2nds are getting tossed around like a cheap whore

What the f***? You mean to tell me we coulda had that shit for free?

This isn't a good sign when it comes to Sheary. Jeannot might be easier to unload. Sheary might be bought out?

 

[TheSchmidt]

Detroit is up to something

making room for stamkos?

Detroit seems more interested in getting a goalie with some term left.

 

[Felonious Python]

TB visits Orlando on Wednesday 9/25. That's earlier in the pre-season than I normally like.

Eyssimont, Glendening, and Chaffee are going to get McDavid in Game 7 minutes.

I'll request Hagel and McD play, given the schedule placement.

Dylan Duke, Groshev, and Huuhtanen are prospects I'd be interested in seeing.

edit: If it were actually up to me, it'd be a fully unhinged roster of all the biggest stars and prospects, but that's not really how it's done.

 

[These Are The Days]

What's a brother gotta do for an October 1st puck drop?

 

[DFC]

I'll bet we have a move in our back pocket for if Stamkos doesnt budge. I really like bringing McDonagh back, but if JBB did that without a plan to keep Stamkos, he should be fired.

i dont mean that if we dont keep Stamkos he should be fired. It was 50-50 before bringing McD back. I just dont understand why you make the situation even worse.

Have to wonder if Detroit has interest in Cernak. Their D is thin and in need of a proven player.

 

[Felonious Python]

Blashill marked as safe from Columbus Blue Jackets coach search.


When was the last time McLellan made the second round?

They probably have interest in stamkos

 

[DistantThunderRep]

assuming Cernak and Perbix are moved, we could very well see Sergy move to the right side full time and run

Hedman-Raddysh
McDonagh-Sergy
Lilleberg-Crozier?

How many damn times do we have to see Sergachev on the right side for people to understand how terrible an idea that is?

 

[Sky04]

"Just put him there full time"

Lmao

Can play Cirelli as a defenseman while we're at it. Switching sides isn't easy, there's a huge level of comfort on your preferred side no matter no skilled these guys are.

 

[DFC]

Or that it will just never happen. At least not full time. Serg on the right means Coop already got fired.

 

[These Are The Days]

These are our shorthanded goals against in the last 5 years. Anyone wanna guess which one didn't have Hedman running the point?

A. 3
B. 5
C. 5
D. 11
E. 6

Then follow it up with the fact literally every single combination that wasn't Cernak didn't work. I'm just ready to move on from Serge period.

Cirelli too.

Fully prepared for a draft day trade to add picks and clear cap space.

 

[Zwui21]

There we have an option for a top6 player that will come cheap.

32 years old, good skater, 24 goals and 46 points last season.

Downside: Has over 1,000 NHL and 0 playoff games. Signing him might be a worse omen than signing Perry.

 

[Hockeyville USA]

Wouldn't mind Mantha at a cheap AAV if we could somehow get rid of Sheary

When was the last time we did this? Seems like we always think it's gonna happen but rarely does.

Colton for a 2023 2nd (Gauthier) on draft day. I was driving through Kentucky en route to Nashville for the draft when I got the Friedman notification about it.

 

[Felonious Python]

Jeff Skinner would fill Killorn's role of having the same trivia fact mentioned every game.

Killorn = Harvard
Skinner = started a figure skater

edit: actually, he'd fill another. The guy with his own show.

For f***'s sake. Either this guy knows absolutely ZERO about any other moves we have because we are so airtight it may as well be the CIA, or we are going full amateur hour ready to die on the hill for someone like Cirelli until the clock strikes 0 and likely miss other moves to get this move done
