Oof, is that TB's real lineup or do they have 4-5 regulars stashed on LTIR?
Cirelli is one that is out for a while. Bogosian is missing on their defense and Ian Cole might be a wife beater. Namestnikov-Colton isn't a bad foundation for a 3rd. Would guess they'd want Hagel on that line, and that probably is what happens when Cirelli is back.

The East is loaded with talent, but there are a lot of flawed teams. The Rangers to me have the least flawed team at the moment and have some of the most assets to make moves needed at the deadline. Not too many NHL teams this year have a Chytil or Lafreniere starting on the 3rd line.

It's the main reason why I don't think any Eastern Conference team scares me. Colorado is the only team that would do that.
 
"average, low-cost goalie on a great team" has been a formula for a long time. Chicago won cups with that formula.
You need generational talent to do that. It's easy finding a serviceable goalie... It's not easy getting Crosby, Ovechkin, Makar, MacKinnon or Kane. Even harder is finding a generational goalie. Dominick Hasek was the last

Uncle Daddy was a product of his system
 
Is Cirelli out?

this is Tampa Bay. Stacked top line and top talent. Get a lead. Go into a 1-3-1

Vasi.
