It's Hedman, no question.So who’s gonna be captain? Hedman? McD? Or will we be rotating A’s?
nopeHope y'all are ready for a 2nd line of
Hagel - Cirelli - SHEARY
This is what I'm afraid of because we didn't buy him out.Hope y'all are ready for a 2nd line of
Hagel - Cirelli - SHEARY
No reason to buy him out and have it on the books for 4 years when you could trade him as of today or bury him in the AHL and get $1.15 million in cap relief.This is what I'm afraid of because we didn't buy him out.
Cirelli is no black hole. Good defensively, 20 goals and closing on 50 points. He may not have hit his ceiling either, but he's a good player. He'd have been moved by now most likely if that was the plan.Cirelli is black hole. If we can trade for someone who is a genuine playmaker, I'll feel better about this
Who on the roster has a shot at maturing into something?The Lightning currently have 17 players under contract with 7.5 million of cap space left. Let’s say Moser costs 3 million. That leaves 4.5MM. Ideally the roster will have 22 players. So not much more than a million per player left.
There is no top 6 forward coming to pair with Cirelli and Hagel. JBBs best bet is probably to find near league minimum deals to fill out the roster. Lilliberg is a no brainer and need a few kids to step up I guess. Maybe bring Motte back. Then accrue cap space and hopefully bring in another Duclair type for the stretch run
Lol...Who on the roster has a shot at maturing into something?
Essymont is a scrappy, gritty bottom 6 and PK. Glendenon? Chaffee? Either be the next Point?

It depends on who picks the captain.So who’s gonna be captain? Hedman? McD? Or will we be rotating A’s?
I don't think it's without question. The Lightning are very keen on McD's leadership, and he was captain for the NYR.Hedman will be captain without question. We're likely a much better team next year as well.
YesWe have $7.5M left. Need Moser to sign. We're prob looking at around $4-4.5M remaining for the rest of the roster.
Are we really filling out the rest of the roster with $1M players?
Only way around it is some combination of Moser coming in cheaper than expected, Sherry being moved or the Lightning roll with a roster of 20 or 21Lol brutal
