Speculation: 2024-2025 General Lightning Discussion II: Oh no! We dont suck again!

[These Are The Days]

Someone mentioned Matt Watson....

Am I needed?

Tell me stories of how he ate humble pie in the most elite way possible

 

[Flat Ronnie]

I get not wanting to associate yourself with Tony, but what's with the groveling apology? It's not like he endorsed the guy.

MOAR!

I feel like this was more commonplace a year ago. I'm glad to see most of the public has lost its appetite for these kinds of theatrics ("Oh my God i almost had a conversation with someone I don't agree with; I must now apologize to all the people who do agree with me!")

What's Matt's new nick? Ain't no way he just left.

He hasn't respawned yet

I would like for us to take a run at Kakko.

 

[DistantThunderRep]

I would like for us to take a run at Kakko.

For the right price, I am all for it. If NYR are willing to take one of the 2nd's + 4th, its all worth it.

 

[Rschmitz]

I would like for us to take a run at Kakko.

I think Kakko would like for us to take a run at Kakko too.

He'd be a RFA at the end of his contract, exactly the type of player we like to target.

 

[JTBF81]

I think Kakko would be a good add on the 3rd line with Paul and Ace/Chaffee. However, if the Rangers won't move him unless they get a 1st+, then Tampa should be looking elsewhere. A 2nd+mid round pick/B prospect as the base sounds about right, with maybe another small piece if necessary. He's never done better than .5 ppg or 18 goals I believe, and just because he was a former 2ov doesn’t mean Tampa (or any team for that matter) should be paying some exorbitant price for him imo.

[Stammertime91]

Holy. What a crippling f***ing trade that would've been. Love Leon, total stud of a player, but no. And I think Edmonton fans would say the same in favor of Leon and that's fine.

We'd be significantly worse, and cupless, if we went the route of Stamkos, Drai, Point...
