At lot of this already happens, actually.
How many people can you bring in total to main camp?

Current Team (I’ll skip Stamkos and St. Louis for this):
Top player #1 - Teddy Purcell (RW)
Purcell is one of the hardest working and most underrated players on the Lightning roster, and his grit and scoring ability cannot go unannounced.
Why I can't read reddit about us:
I hope none of you said that. Decided to look at our 30 teams in 30 days deal.

Top player #3 - Nate Thompson (C)
Thompson is a much maligned NHL player who finally came in to his own on the Syracuse Crunch, and after spending a full season with the Lightning, it’s hoped that he can develop into a good support scorer for the Bolts.
Top player #4 - Matt Carle (D)
Matt Carle was acquired in the trade with San Jose for Dan Boyle, and while his offensive prowess is nice, his sometimes boneheaded decisions on defense leave fans scratching their heads. I mean, at least he isn’t Eric Brewer, but come on. He’s still young, though, so hopefully he can develop into a solid D-man in the years to come.

What makes you say that?
The Solar Bears flair. Plus I remember a while ago you said on your resume that your name started with an A, so you were placed first in lines at school, evolving you into a leader.
i've met people IRL from these boards and well, if i havent met you it can only mean one thing: you do not post with honor.
The article was posted in May though so a couple of things have changed (Vinny out, Flip in, the draft, re-signings...).http://www.tsn.ca/nhl/story/?id=423246 pretty good read

Ben Bishop, Tampa Bay Lightning: It has taken a few years, but Bishop finally may have a team he can call his own. The 6-foot-7 goaltender was lost in the shuffle in St. Louis and stuck behind Craig Anderson with the Ottawa Senators; he got his first extended chance to start after the Lightning acquired him in early April. Bishop’s 3-4-1 record and 2.99 goals-against average weren't great, but his .917 save percentage and 33.6 shots-faced per game indicate he wasn’t getting a lot of help. He could have the inside track for the starting job after getting a two-year contract extension not long after being acquired, but will be competing with Anders Lindback for playing time. If Bishop wins the competition, he could give the Lightning the goaltending they've been looking for since Dwayne Roloson led them to the Eastern Conference Final in 2011.
So on the main boards there is a rumour that Hainsey can be had for 1 million dollars. I have no idea where to put him, but he might be a good fill in for the inevitable Salo injury.

Don't buy this at all. When UFA first started had a list and Ron was at like 3.5 to 4 million range as they put up numbers. Not sure where that data is so dont ask but was numbers I remember. For him to do 1 million I will believe it when see it. Still figure him for 2 to 2.5 at least.

So I’ve been thinking about what our line-ups will look like come October, and I keep coming up with the same conclusion: We have way to much (potential) talent. What a great problem to have right? When I look at the CapGeek page, I see the following lineups
Purcell-Stamkos-St.Louis
Or as I like to call it, ‘the line-up that is so unsurprising that everyone will be surprised when it happens.’
Killorn-Filipula-Malone
Or the ‘Wait until Malone gets injured and then replace him with someone younger and/or better’ line.
Palat-Johnson-Drouin
Or the ‘Scary as hell rookie line.’ I (like many of you) think that Drouin will be in the second line pretty quickly if he plays like he is expected to, but at the same time, I kind of think that Cooper may try something crazy and do an all rookies 3rd line early, just to how it works.
Labrie-Thompson-Crombeen
The ‘We wont be scoring… but you wont be either’ line. I actually feel like this will be a hell of shut down line for us this year, as long as Labrie keeps improving.
And of course, Pyatt for the extra... I just can’t find a place for him. I guess he could go on the third line without any issue, but I'm sticking with my rookie 3rd line idea haha.
That leaves: Tyrell, Connolly, Panik, and Brown for call ups who would be ready to go immediately… and I really have no idea for our center depth who would be ready to go now that Johnson is assumed up here.
What do you guys think?
