7 X 9 .. how do we feel?
I feel like we have no excuse to not be drinking out of Lord Stanley again. Let's get Stamkos signed.7 X 9 .. how do we feel?
Thats an interesting view of it, I like it.To me this wasn't a Stamkos vs Guentzel issue, it was a Stamkos vs Cirelli one. BriseBois clearly sees Cirelli as his 2C and needs to surround him with better wingers. Guentzel is far superior these days at 5v5 so the 2nd line won't be a blackhole again. It's also why Sergachev was traded and not him. The Sergachev trade also brought in a potential 2C so that Cirelli in a few years can go back to 3C and with the cap rising won't be overpaid for it.
It obviously wasn't gonna be 8 when he turned down Carolina's 8x8 offer.Ooof. Another 1Mil over. JBB proving he's really not good with the contracts he gives.
Happy to have Guentzel the player though, not happy we have 3 players signed at 9+
Sergachev, Stamkos, + 3rd ;pI ain't mad about it, paid fairly for what he brings and he cost nothing to acquire.
Yeah, it's getting ugly.Well maybe Stamkos shouldn't be sleeping with JBB's wife and egging his car!
We only have like 4-5 mil left if you factor Moser deal is coming as well.I'm in the camp of we got better but only by a little. We still need to make something happen to bring more scoring depth.
Thus is a bit if a problem cause we have a black hole in the top 6. Second line is either Hagel/Cirelli or Guentzel/Cirelli. Not great.We only have like 4-5 mil left if you factor Moser deal is coming as well.

Paul was never gonna be on the top 2 lines. He didn't play up there for the last few months of the season.With Guentzel in it moves Paul back where he belongs on the 3rd line, so the bottom 6 should get a boost right there. Goncalves is no longer waiver exempt so I expect him to get a serious look at 3C. And I know everyone hates Sheary but I think he can bounce back to 30 points next season if we have a better 3C than Motte. I like Motte back as a 4th like LW.
