As far as comparisons between Rheinhart vs Guentzel— it’s not about the best guy, but the right guy, and Guentzel over Rheinhart is definitely the right guy for Tampa.
That’s not really fair either though. For all we know it was a priority, but just fell further one notch further down the list than this signing. Teams have to make difficult decisions all the time and it wouldn’t have looked great if Guentzel fell through and Stamkos knew he wasn’t the first choice.JBB just needed to be up front about it. He wasn't very transparent about Stamkos being a non-priority

I’d be that single fan that did.Naw. Up until 36 hours ago not a single Lightning fan thought we needed an upgrade to Stamkos at forward, the theme of the summer was how we could create cap space to sign Stamkos.
You are not a priority if your exact role is being actively replaced.

Wasn’t necessarily the priority to go that route, but if improving meant replacing him- sure.Always hoping to improve the team, but you thought he needed replaced? Interesting
Bro hitting the whisky too much.7-8 is where I would be comfortable with him. He's a great complimentary offensive player, but 9 is too much for him IMO.
For real; a “complimentary” offensive player who is 15th league-wide in points per game (1.15), sharing that stat with Crosby, Forsberg and Reinhart.Bro hitting the whisky too much.
I love Jake but he’s a complimentary player. He’s probably the best one in the league.For real; a “complimentary” offensive player who is 15th league-wide in points per game (1.15), sharing that stat with Crosby, Forsberg and Reinhart.
That is above Point, Tkachuk, Barkov, Eichel
What’s your criteria for non-complimentary?I love Jake but he’s a complimentary player. He’s probably the best one in the league.
Not an insult either sometimes those guys are harder to find than the play drivers. Watched the Pens struggle to find guys that fit Malkin and Sid’s game for years.
How does this guy make more than Sid
Quite easy, actually. You see, when Crosby signed his last contract, it was 2012. I'm sure you're able to comprehend the difference between money from 2012 to 2024. Perhaps that also needs to be explicitly laid out for you though.How does this guy make more than Sid
This, we all wanted Stamkos to be resigned and to retire a bolt.Naw. Up until 36 hours ago not a single Lightning fan thought we needed an upgrade to Stamkos at forward, the theme of the summer was how we could create cap space to sign Stamkos.

For real. And you might not be that far off.Potential 300 point line next year with Point and Kucherov
I’m fascinated to see Tampa’s PP sans a hall of fame one-timer at the left half wall. That was a perfectly constructed PP personnel-wise for a long time.
