I dunno..... any chance Eichel is just a product of playing in Buffalo?

I think we're replacing the Voracek cancer with the Eichel cancer. And a significantly broken cancer. And an even more expensive cancer. If Eichel was your way of distracting me from the fact you traded for Jones, well done. It didn't work, but I appreciate the attempt. Diabolical. Much respect. I don't know. I don't have great options but I'll try to post something later. At least you're putting up ideas. eichel is a cancer? that's news to me, i dont know much about him, um no it's not about distracting you from anyone im just throwing out a star names even though i dont know much about them, that's why im asking for your opinion on them, if you are against it that's fine, if they are better fits for this team im open for that. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The gist, seemingly, is Seattle taking Tyler Johnson and a pick or top prospect and leave players like Gourde or Cernak alone. Or, barring that, trading Gourde outright to Seattle for something else, I would assume after the expansion draft, (though the Bolts would still like to move Johnson's 5M hit), thereby creating 10M in space by moving Johnson and Gourde to Seattle. Bolts for sure would like to keep Cernak though. Two other players that keep coming up that Seattle may want off of the Bolts are either Anthony Cirelli or Mathieu Joseph. As for Gourde being sent to the Flyers before losing him for nothing to Seattle, again, assuming the TB GM doesn't do a side deal, I'd go for a Gourde to Philly and something like Patrick/Hagg coming back. Even though both Patrick and Hagg attract the ire of some Flyers fans, I think they would do better in the Lightning's deeper, transitional system. Lots of players to take the heat off both Patrick and Hagg on the Lightning where they could just focus on specific roles. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I would do this and Gourde would just slot into Patrick's protected spot. However we don't know if this is the best deal on the table for i would expect the GM to take the one that works best for them in the long run. However fun to discuss none the less.

Sure would make Jake very attractive for their top line to me. Eberle Gorde Voracek Could be worse. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ya that pisses me off, can't be a bunch of pansies getting pushed around, that's why I was glad Morin was inserted back on Defense and though, I'm in the minority, I was rooting for Rinaldo to stay.(I don't subscribe to dirty hits/plays, but if you can lay the body clean, I'm all for it) when he was on the ice we where a positive momentum team and when momentum was shifting he brought it back, so hopefully at 13th pick, Chuck gets the "Right Stuff" guy, through pick or trade.

The other thing they did was have really skilled guys buy into what Cooper is selling. There is a shitton of talent on that roster, it's not like they iced Tony Twist and Ty Domi. The last two championship Lightning teams are perhaps the best constructed teams I've seen this century. They can win any way the game is played. They would have won a shoot out too. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TimKerrFan12 Posted July 19, 2021 Share Posted July 19, 2021 Sign Suter and Danault from Montreal and it is a home run off season. Imagine adding two solid D Ellis and Suter as anchors. Danault is a solid Defensive centre. He can only help reduce the goals against. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I have doubts, but if you have time would you mind explaining the value you see in Suter? I think they would get pushed around, the Minnesota guys in this community mostly hate him, because - reasons and I don't know if he's the right voice for a group that needs some leadership. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I would kick the tires on the Duck's Josh Manson with one year left on his deal at 4.1 mill. I also like Alex Martinez as an option.
