Speculation: 2024-2025 General Lightning Discussion II

Yeah. But I think Guentzel and Paul have shown signs of legit chemistry, and I don't know how else to get them together.

The current version of Hagel might be a 100+ point player with Kucherov.

Guentzel-Point-Paul
Hagel-Cirelli-Kucherov

We've already seen Kucherov take extra shifts with Hagel/Cirelli, I think that is the way we'd lean if we did it.

Bottom-6 is gonna be a mess though.

Have to think at least one of the 4 upcoming UFAs could be on the move. Eyssimont and Glendening could be of use to some teams, same with Perbix.

I still like Bjorkstrand, if Seattle is selling, as a great 2nd line RW add. Another year after this, solid offensively for usually 50-60 points, and pretty good defensively. If moving Paul to the 2nd line, adding two for the 3rd line in the range of Donato, Wennberg, Gourde, Kunin, Evangelista etc seems like a reasonable possibility.

His RH shot is probably the asset we need from him the most.

Teravainen is another top 6 winger if we are looking for available guys
