Zito finally making some moves.
I thought it was funny earlier today when I saw we signed Nosek because I could only think of this from last season
How does a worse QoT mean a more sheltered role? Well, hard to say how it translates to different teams.
We have a bunch of waiver eligible guys that can fill some depth roles this season, so maybe we go with a 22-man roster. That'll give us $2.4M available for an RD if Lundell signs for $4M.
Really I'm wondering what's going on with the Lundell contract, that's a tough one. Had a somewhat disappointing regular season, but two good playoffs in a row now. If not for the playoffs, I would've thought he gets $3M. Wonder if he's looking for a longer-term contract like a 5-6 year x $5M and then set up for a bigger one when he's 27/28.
Yeah I know, my mistake, I meant to write last year as in the ‘23 playoffs, not last season.2 years ago
I would look for a 3 year bridge, leaving us an RFA year to decide long term.I don't think Lundell wants to sign a long term contract with his reg season point production. If he signs a two year deal now then he could sign the full eight years which would cover his prime years (25-33).

3.5 per is my guess
Finished his 3rd year of the ELC this past year, should have 4 more RFA years left, no? Is it 6 or 7?Thought he only has 2 years left in RFA
JUDGE IS BACK
Wait the trio of goalies Tampa smoked in 2021 is back.
Oh f*** we are SO done
So let’s see what we lost.
Lombo $2M; too much
Stenner $2M; borderline prolly too much
OEL $3.5M; too much
Monty $7M+; way too much
Stoli $2.5M; slightly too much
A bunch of guys like Mahura and Okposo who wouldn’t figure in anyway.
Haven’t lost Tarasenko yet, but if (when) we do, that’ll sting a lot.
Overall I can’t complain. Other than Tarasenko, and a cheap Lomberg, I really wanted to keep OEL. But I’m ok as is, nothing’s really lost when you look at the money. If they’d come with last year’s stickers, keep them all, but they weren’t going to because they were good enough to win the Stanley Cup and thus get the raises.

I think Zito will target a veteran like Nate Schmidt or someone like that.
Nate is nowadays a bottom pairing dman incapable of playing ~20mins. That's the big issue here especially if and when Ekblad gets injured again.
Just throwing a name out there. But it has to be a veteran guy. I could see Zito going in to the year having that hole at RD and targeting someone at the deadline from the upcoming UFA class.
