Sucks to be him but if it was a Fanatics order, they'll change it to another Lightning player or to a Sergachev Utah jersey.

I ordered something from them a looong time ago. Came with great quality but took way longer than the original anticipated time. They might have been a new company at that point. I haven't ordered from the since but I've looked in case I see any deals.

Lightning acquire rights to Jake Guentzel from Hurricanes
TB acquires Guentzel for a 3rd rounder...must have agreement on a deal, which, now they have him can be an 8 yr deal.Great for the Lightning, bad for Stamkos.

Good luck cam
We could wish… As years have gone by I have less and less access so have had to resort to the high seas to watch my team the last two. Not even on Sling or Hulu or others anymore. Their app is extreme trash so that isn’t a viable option either.

Wait, we play Carolina six times in the last month of the season?
I'm really curious to see Jack with the Canes. My mixed hope/fear was he was gonna do great in NYR playing in a top-6 of a good team with great talent, but he was very meh in the playoffs at least.
I think he could really be a great fit with the Canes system if playing to that system helps him with consistent compete and decision making. I never felt "effort" per se was a problem with him, I always got the sense he tried hard to be good defensively but would struggle to stay "inside" the game and get a bit lost and then have a momentary lapse or brain fart that would lead to bad things happening. The team certainly didn't help in that.
I can also see how trying to play the Canes system could really backfire with him, it's very demanding with the aggressive forecheck and covering for pinching D-men, if he struggles with decision making it could end up in catastrophic odd-man rushes and break-aways against.
EDIT: to add, no idea what role they are going to play him in, but if he somehow ends up with Aho, that could be great for him. Even Laine had a knack of making Jack look really good at times and Aho is way better at catering his game to his linemates.

He'd be perfect for Fantilli right now
Instead he was wasted with PLD.

Yeah that made me wade through the comments, seems quite a bit onesided. Also my brainwashed head: "At least we're not Buffalo now."
Tullio is a depth prospect, would be somewhere 15-20 on our list.
This says a lot about how much NHL teams value 5'9 players. I bet Adams has mentioned Savoie in trade talks with every GM he's spoken with. There was no future for Savoie in Buffalo.
