Speculation: 2024-2025 General Lightning Discussion II

[Stammertime91]

They’ve been rebuilding for like a decade, I am sure that fanbase wants nothing to do with prolonging their suffering

Maybe it's their kink and they like the suffering and pain?

Just a thought.

I don't mind their suffering one bit. When they were good, I know I am aging myself, they were probably the most insufferable fanbase to grace our arena. Penguins fans in my experience are maybe a little worse.

 

[Hoek]

For real, never seen a more obnoxious fan base for a team that never won anything

 

[LordStanlersCup]

The problem with a Tuch to Tampa trade or really any Buffalo player is they want player in player out. They aren't looking for futures so it would need to be some convoluted 3 way trade and even then they might not want to trade him to a divisional rival.

 

[DFC]

It just doesn't make a lot of sense.fpr them to trade one of their best young players, to a division rival at that, unless they were getting a quality roster replacement in return or such an unbelievable futures package that couldn't be turned down. I'd love to get Tuch as well, but I don't want to gut the prospect pool and/or multiple 1sts either. Maybe tbe '26 1st+Howard+Chaffee/Eyssimont for him, but Tampa would need retention, which adds more, and I doubt Buffalo even takes that offer unless they are going 100% scorched earth rebuild mode.

Well, he's not that young anymore. I think the idea that Buffalo can retool into a playoff team is much farther fetched. That said, I do agree that they won't want to deal him here. Buffalo, Detroit, and Ottawa need us to get worse over the next few years.

I would like us to go for Taylor Hall. Shouldn’t cost much, and would add some much needed speed to our lineup. Might not put up that many points anymore, but we score enough as is.

 

[DFC]

I know this is gonna sound crazy.... but what about Jacob Trouba at 50%? He's been better since the trade, and Anaheim is almost certainly planning to flip him.

Yes Hall was one of my small pipe dreams for this team )

I don’t think it’s that crazy, I would consider this. We could use a little bit more snarl to our defense. We also haven’t acquired a former Ranger in a long time.

No one has shit on Penguin fan. The Sabre fans I met were awesome. They're just loud and passionate. Nothing wrong with that. Penguin fan is that fat obnoxious f*** who goes "HEEEHHH HEHHHH" after a goal like Nelson on the Simpsons and can't carry a conversation that dates before Crosby. Ranger fan does that too

2011 playoffs, Penguins fans took over our stadium. Walked around the concourse in a huge mob and cursed/picked fights the entire night. They're horrible

Sabres fans are a nightmare in the stands, but never grouped up like that.

Well f***, need a PP

 

[Stelio Kontos]

Add Kreider or Tuch..

Kreider/Tuch - Paul - Chaffee as the 3rd

 

[FinnLightning26]

I don't want anything to do with that piece of shit.

 

[Zwui21]

There's no way Buffalo is dumb enough to trade him, but I'd give away quite a lot of future for JJ Peterka. On a line with Hagel and Cirelli he'd be lethal

 

[StammerHammer]

Bruin fans are the worst. I hated it when they were sitting close to us. Always an in your face attitude.

 

[Hockeyville USA]

Leafs fans and most Canadian team fans are the worst*

 

[EXTRAS]

With Moser out who is getting the call?

 

[Hockeyville USA]

Carlile. Wouldn't be surprised if BriseBois is monitoring the waiver wire going forward

 

[Flat Ronnie]

Kreider healthy scratched tonight.

Not sure it's ever possible with a $6.5M hit until 27.

 

[LightningStrikes]

These kids these days. “Health bomb” for healthy scratch smh.

 

[Stammertime91]

With Moser out who is getting the call?

Andrej Sustr

 

[bov]

What's the deal with Crozier?

 

[These Are The Days]

Andrej Sustr

*Violent shaking intensifies*

 

[Major4Boarding]

And Captain, which is seemingly a prerequisite with these deals

 

[Peacefool]

Last game JJ played I told that he will get Shotout and will be considered as nr1...Ok I wsa one game wrong
