Speculation: 2024-2025 General Lightning Discussion: Preseason Edition

[Five Alarm Fire]

only for his faceoff ability and the fact we could move Paul up and avoid using Sheary in the top 6

Yeah he can’t be that much different from Sheary and Atkinson and he gives us another option as a right shot. He was brutal in Colorado though, so not expecting much.

Also depends on the conditions of the contract breach. If he faked an injury to avoid playing for Torts, that would seem more forgivable than some off-ice issue.

 

[Stelio Kontos]

There are too many

Washed up 30 year olds on this roster

After watching sheary kill every single line he was on I think I’m good on these bargain bin 30+ year olds who can’t even cut it on the worst teams in the league.

[Sky04]

No thanks, he's done. Role can't get any easier than in Colorado and he stunk.

 

[Rschmitz]

If he wasn’t cooked I’d be down but he’s probably cooked.

For league minimum why not. If he sucks send him to AHL and when he fails to report we can terminate him as well

Gotta find out more about his health first. Did he have surgery? When and on what body part? Dude can’t be signed if he can’t pass a physical

Also, it’s kinda sad that this board perks up at the mere thought of any semi-legitimate 3rd liner, whether it’s a has-been or a project or somebody’s trade bait. It’s like we’re dumpster diving

That's more the curse of being extreme hockey nerds. We'll make a thread for a guy signed to play as Syracuse's #5 d-man.

Hi Lightning fans! Hoping yall can share who the most popular Lightning fan accounts are on Twitter/X and who the most popular blogger/podcasters are for the Lightning. Thanks!!!

 

[TampaIceman]

You can already do that by using Girgensons or Goncalves as the third line center. Or, dare to dream, Geekie has a great camp and takes the job.

I’m a huge Geekie fan. I watched probably 50% of his WHL games he played in. I think he’s a really great prospect. But I think he’s going to take some time to adjust to minor pro hockey.

Lightning Eye Veteran Tyson Barrie as Key PTO Addition

The Tampa Bay Lightning have signed Logan Brown to a professional tryout, enhancing competition in their bottom six. However, they should also consider veteran

Do key PTO additions exist?

It's a clickbait headline, btw. It's just their opinion.

When will JBB get it over with and sign Tyler Johnson to his PTO contract ?

 

[These Are The Days]

You can (in fact) do worse than Barrie but it's not saying much when the bar the Lightning have set on defense point scoring cannot possibly be lower.

 

[Felonious Python]

We can offer Barrie a PTO, but I don't think he should take it.

 

[Rschmitz]

How has Barrie not landed somewhere? I admittedly don’t know his situation but he’s RH and was good for 40 points before last year

 

[Felonious Python]

I don't think that I've seen a player be announced as a PTO, but sign anywhere else before camp.

If there are multiple teams interested, then play them off each other.

Is Barrie actually on a PTO for us? He makes the team easily with our RHD where it is

No. Just media saying we should give him a PTO.

Hard to believe he hasn't gotten an offer but if I were him and looking beyond this year I'd need to go to a team with offensive firepower, if he signs in San Jose and has another down year his career is done.

I might have a shot scoring a goal in the NHL playing against that pairing.
