Rumor: Sounds like Ryan Lomberg may have priced himself out of staying with the Panthers. @DavidDwork

Personally I would love him on the Canucks. Maybe fit in nice with Miller or Joshua.

Rangers need his forchecking and skating on their team

Prime candidate to end up with a terrible contract.

I agree and I still want a piece.

 

[Bounces R Way]

How do you price yourself out averaging less than 10 minutes a game?

That seems almost impossible.

 

[Bank Shot]

Prime candidate to end up with a terrible contract.

Why?

7 points in 75 games last year. Played in 6 playoff games, zero points, averaged 7 minutes of ice time.

Sounds like he wants more than league minimum and Florida told him to take a hike.

Not sure why another team would throw any kind of money at him. He's the literal definition of a plug.

Panthers played 22 playoff games and he played in only 6. He gets a ring and his name on the cup. He averaged 10 minutes a game over the entire season. I he is looking for a better payday. My guess he is looking at 1.5 to 2 mill for a 4 year deal, Panthers have depth and will need that money elsewhere. They have offered him 1mill and he turned down is my guess

It’s July 1. When depth players get paid by stupid GMs.

 

[Skinnyjimmy08]

What the heck did he do to price himself out exactly?

Strictly cause he was on a roster that won a Cup?

 

[Dread Clawz]

Farewell, Lomberghini

You're the man!

 

[ShootIt]

Good spark plug of a player.
Good fighter for his size too.
Purely a 4th line player but definitely gives it his all for his 8-12 minutes on the ice.

 

[WhiskeyYerTheDevils]

I'd happily take him in NJ. Speed, physicality, and more skilled than he's been credited with.

wait what? for him or for the team? let these guys cash out if a team is stupid enough to overpay.

 

[WhatTheDuck]

Anaheim seems to be looking to retool nearly their whole bottom end (opened up a lot of space by non tendering RFAs), with an emphasis on becoming more difficult to play against. Verbeek has targetted size but you know he has a place in his heart for a guy who shows as much heart as Lomberg.

With the Ducks having nearly endless cap space in the short term, I'd gladly "overpay" a guy like this on a shorter deal. Reward him well for his effort without running into potentially problematic term. The more teams are chasing Lomberg and Gudas around, the less they'll be focused on our young stars, and the room could use more guys who are proven winners.

Lombo has some winning experience. Therefore could be a good player for a team with younger players. He played in a bigger role when Panthers reached the SCFs against Vegas. This year TDL acquisitions Tarasenko and Okposo made roles of Lombo and Cousins smaller but it doesn't mean that he's not a good player. After Vatrano was gone, Lombo has been the happiest person in the room to celebrate goals. So it's sad to see him go but good for him if he got a better contract somewhere else.

Yeah I don't think anyone could hold it against him that he got pushed down your lineup, that will happen when a team builds up tremendous depth. Him and Cousins are both established as effective players

 

[BLNY]

Lomberg doing his best, "don't low ball me. I know what I have."

 

[Agalloch]

I always liked that player but max 1,5 millions per year.

No offense to David but none of the major reporters are saying this. I would take this with a grain of salt.

Lomberg could end up in the northeast as Ottawa and Buffalo currently have 4LW vacancies.

We trade Malenstyn, but does Lomberg play on RW?

 

[Smif]

Was he a healthy scratch in the playoffs?

 

[Gaylord Q Tinkledink]

How ? Is he asking for 2 mill and for their website to say he's 5'10 ??

 

[ShootIt]

Was he a healthy scratch in the playoffs?

He started off on the 4th line.
Got sick during the Tampa series and since the team was winning they didn't revert back to Lombo back in the lineup.
Also with Bennett's hand being injured, they wanted another center dressed, so Lorentz was the 4th line LW/C.

Lou, make it happen. The Isles need a younger replacement for Cal Clutterbuck.
