Not sure the reasoning behind claiming him. seems like just a depth piece to replace Barre Boulet since he went back to Syracuse.

 

[Stewie Griffin]

Not a bad day for Nash.

Surprised he got past Vancouver with their lack of right shooting centermen and PK'rs... although with the turmoil there the last few days it is possible no one was watching the waiver wire.

I was excited when the Jets signed him but he doesn't seem to have much left in the tank anymore. Started the season with a guaranteed spot on the roster, only to loose it to guys that were AHL players last season. Hope things work out better for him in Tampa.

Rangers could have used his faceoff help

makes sense

hes not productive but the other team won’t score when hes out there either

since the lighting have outrageous firepower, its a good fit

You and me both.

How ever, Boudreau and the new management braintrust seem to have a lot of "wait and see" happening to evaluate misused players. Dickinson played like a beast last night. Lammikko had his first goal with us. Petey and Horvat and Miller were all spotted on the PK. We still need a RHC for coverage, but I think we need to see things calm down after all the transition. Woulda been nice though.

I could have told you that without analytics

For those interested, this cost Tampa Bay $3,375, paid to Winnipeg and not counted against the cap.

You're a force of nature.

I wanted Edmonton to claim him. They've been in need of a "nothing happens" 4C since the first Obama administration.

 

[The Andrew Peeke Fan]

Love you, Riley. Hope you win a Cup.

 

[MikeK]

Really surprised Vancouver didn't put a claim in.

We don't need him but hope he does well in TB

 

[RustyCat]

Hope he does well in TB. He was pretty bad for the Jets, unfortunately. Maybe a change will help him.

Good luck Riley!

 

[Clode]

Liked him in Boston, solid bottom six guy. Not sure what happened to him once he left the Bruins but would be nice to see him rebound.

 

[Gabe Kupari]

Terrible for the Jets. Good luck in Tampa

 

[Nucker101]

Feels like this guy plays on multiple teams every year

 

[Moose Head]

If the Habs didn’t put in a claim, he must really suck.

The new Mike Sillinger?

 

[HoseEmDown]

He won't be in Tampa very long. Once Point or Kucherov come back he'll be waived. He might not even play a game before then. He's just a better option to scratch than Barre-Boulet who we sent back to Syracuse to get game time.

One game in he is a Tampa Bay Lightning Bolt for life!

TB needs to make a trade for a quality player to bolster that bottom 6. Right now it's up to Ross, Maroon, and Perry to carry that bottom 6. Unless Katchouk, Nash, Raddysh turn into studs.

The bottom six have been playing great recently. Don't need to change anything at this stage.
