Might be ok to let this one go TIRED

Imagine. One year reset and it lands Bedard. Hell that’d be a huge shot in the arm and boost to the team. Or even Fantilli. Can’t go wrong. Imo it’d be a mistake if Michkov was the pick cause he won’t be over for a few years and an NHL ready player with high upside on an ELC would be huge for Tampa.

Agreed.. as a tampa fan, it is very apparent that this team is exhausted and just don't have the depth, not to mention getting every teams best when they play. As a fan for decades this fanbase has been very spoiled lately and one bad year to reset and maybe by chance get a lottery pick isn't the end of the world.

If anything now if the time to go all in before all those extensions kick in and they lose more depth (Cirelli, Cernak, Sergachev). Its only been 4 games, they will be fine. I cant see a team like that missing the playoffs unless they get absolutely decimated by injuries

As a kid growing up I started to follow them after the cup win. A year to reset isn’t awful, let’s guys heal up. Stammer and Heddy are still great and not that old. Injecting some more youth into the lineup is a necessary process. Given the latest news from Bettman about the cap jumping I’m cautiously optimistic that things can get better and there’ll be more wiggle room to improve the depth of the team.

They absolutely need some youth.. like a kid who would wear a white suit to the draft. I'm not sold on this d for the future
