To be fair, other than Konecky, they don't have a lot of desirable pickups.
Fair enough but just get what you can and keep all the guys young enough to still be in their prime in a few years when the rebuild ends.......In other words add some lottery picks to Michkov Tippett etc and try and build a championship core thay way..........I'd rather take my chances with that instead of sitting in the middle forever.........

I just don't think any teams want Couts or Risto, at this point.

A couple seasons ago, I would have LOVED Coots on the Lightning....I always felt he would have made an elite, scoring 3C with massive plusses on possession after face offs.

But looking at his contract now, and his injury prone status, not so much anymore.

As for Risto, I think he has improved his defensive game, however, the thing that made him what he was, a terrifying hit machine with a touch of offense, now seems to be missing.
His 5M cap hit doesn't help either....

Woould you consider Risto an interesting project if you could get him cheap ?

The tools are there ..Shot, Size, Mean Streak at times.........Never looked at his individual metrics but maybe the right coach could help him ?
