Good replies from you both, I'm learning! I always looked at the +/- but it was never my final factor on how I judge a player. I'm just not used to seeing a number that big seeing how a lot of my attention goes toward a team that scores like crazy with every line.

The only thing that kind of worries me about Spencer is he had an overall -15 last year. I'm not saying it's his fault but hopefully he blossoms in the AHL

Yzerman has a talent there. I hope he sticks with the Lightning for a long time.

I'm extremely excited about the Lightning picking up Mitchell Stevens. I just got done wathing a marathon of highlights from him playing with the Marlboroughs and he seems explosive, aware and hungry for the net. I know for a fact he'll start his trek in the AHL which will build his skills even more but this kid is a flame that can't be tamed. Great pick Yzerman! The other players are solid picks too, I don't doubt Yaz on passing up his first round pick anymore. He's always been good at picking diamonds from the rough and so far Stevens is extremely promising!

How is the East going to stack up with the Bruins and their recent ingenious blasphemy?

Hamilton to Flames for picks

Does anyone feel bad for Soderberg who ended up signing a 5-year deal with Colorado? I can't imagine how he feels going from a contender to a team that never really does that well. -
I don't know if it's just me, but I want to see a lot more Andrei Vasilevskiy this coming season. It's not often a team can feel as comfortable with their backup goalie in the net but I have a lot of confidence in Vasy. According to Jon Cooper, there's a bit of a battle going on for the net between Bishop and Vasy. Cooper plans on letting both players get a decent amount of time keeping the other team off the board next season. Vasy is sporting a career .918 save percentage which is middle of the road for goalies but this guy is 20. Bishop and the Lightning defense was having a terrible ni

Lucic to the Kings

That was definitely a good grab for Philly. -
Lucic to the Kings
TBLightning1993 replied to TBLightning1993's topic in Rumors -Trades - Free Agents
We'll see what happens. The new GM is making a lot of ballsy moves so I wouldn't be surprised if trading Rask has already crossed his mind. He already let go of Lucic.. No matter what anyone says, I think Lucic going to LA is going to cause waves in the west. If he comes out and plays energetic hockey every game, the Kings have another weapon on their roster to push them into the playoffs. The Bruins' season is going to be a hit or miss.. This new GM is taking a lot of chances and making moves that are leaving some people scratching their head. If they come out and dominate, it'll be quite t -
Lightning 2015-16 Opening Schedule
TBLightning1993 replied to TropicalFruitGirl26's topic in Tampa Bay Lightning
I'll be going to see them play the Arizona Coyotes and the Kings for sure. I'm not worried at all about the TB v BOS matchups anymore after the trades they've been making this offseason. I'm thinking they'll be in a rebuilding stage for a few years until some of their picks settle in to the NHL. Tampa kind of surprised me by trading out of the first round today.. -
Lucic to the Kings
TBLightning1993 replied to TBLightning1993's topic in Rumors -Trades - Free Agents
If Jones turns out better than Rask and the Bruins free up that cap space, they could end up being the team to beat in the East depending on the choices they make from there. As for the Kings, if Lucic does happen to go out every night and play hockey, he could be the push they needed this past year to make it into the playoffs. -
Lucic was traded to the Kings today, thoughts? I see it as another viable weapon in the Kings' arsenal.

Cherry rips Coopers usage of Stamkos via Twitter
TBLightning1993 replied to hf101's topic in Tampa Bay Lightning
Stamkos said himself in an interview with the St. Pete Times that he likes the squad that the Lightning put together and wants to win the cup with them. He'll be back for another 5. Not to mention he's the face of the franchise right now. That would be like the Rangers failing to resign Lundqvist. -
Yet another postseason opportunity for the Bolts
TBLightning1993 replied to TBLightning1993's topic in Tampa Bay Lightning
@TropicalFruitGirl26 I have to agree that a big problem was player mentality. Seeing how most times they only get 2 minutes to take advantage of a PP, time is key. I'm hoping the management brings in someone that stresses that and puck control to the players and whips them into shape. With the weapons we have there should be no reason we don't lead the league in PP goals and make everyone's penalty kill percentages count for nothing. Like my baseball coach stressed for the 13 years I played in the bay area, remember your fundamentals. Even professionals need a reminder sometimes and maybe, j -
Recently the Lightning and George Gwozdecky parted ways which opens up an opportunity to move in a better assistant coach for Jon Cooper. Gwoz focused primarily on the PP which was a struggle for the Bolts up until their little tear against the Rangers in the Conference Finals. If the Lightning find the right man for the job and better utilize their weapons during 5 on 4 play next season may be even better than expected. I'm not counting any chickens but the Bolts may be bringing home more than one trophy if things work out. I'm genuinely excited
