Speculation: 2024-2025 General Lightning Discussion II: "Atlanticly" challenged

[DistantThunderRep]

The AAV Saad is hilarious. $1.5M? I can see why it wasn't here. Also how is Vegas fitting in that Cap hit? They are over the cap by $2.5M with no one on LTIR?

1.5 is a little on the steep side imo.

Tampa is just not "the place to be" like they were a few years ago.

I mean we did just get the best free agent available for a contract less than what he was offered by the team that traded for him

Players aren't going to cup chase with us though, that's for sure

Shattenkirk was 100% called not an NHLer anymore. And quite often. He was also coming off a buy out.

Maybe by some idiots on hfboards, he was injured. There is a reason why we tried to woo him before he went to the Rangers, his shot suppression stats were pretty amazing. There were 6-7 teams interested in him, which is why he didn't sign for league minimum.

That's more what I meant

Went to another contending team with no state tax and less Trump. Also hilarious Vegas cucked Tampa again.

Unfair! I'm gonna make a main board thread about how there needs to be a "Gambling" adjustment to the salary cap that punishes Vegas alone
