Radical thinking. Not giving up 5 futures for rental Karlsson? Not signing Karlsson to an extension which the Lightning can't afford.? Well done.

Killorn should be far, far away from that top line....

I don't think we necessarily should make any trades (unless it's the trade deadline and nobody's interested in one of the good upcoming UFAs and we can get a trade for almost nothing, but I don't see that kind of thing happening), but there are several problems with this lineup's organization. Cirelli is a center and Johnson can play wing, Killorn shouldn't be on the top line, and a Palat-Point-Kucherov line would be better than Killorn-Stamkos-Miller. I like the idea of the former line and have mentioned it here before, but that should be the top line, and the second should either be Gourde-Stamkos-Miller or Miller-Stamkos-Johnson. I would prefer:

Palat-Point-Kucherov
Miller-Stamkos-Johnson
Killorn-Cirelli-Gourde
Conacher-Volkov-Callahan (I think Volkov's ready to make the team, but Paquette's fine there otherwise)
Paquette/Andreoff

Hedman-Girardi
McDonagh-Sergachev
Koekkoek-Stralman (possibly switch Girardi and Stralman depending on whether they prefer a more top-heavy approach or a more spread out approach)
Coburn/Dotchin

Vasilevskiy
Domingue

Haha thanks. If there is a trade to be made it should be for a really good rental on the fourth line for a year. Its a shame Grabner was picked up by Arizona, because his PK ability and speed would be perfect in a deep team such as the Lightning. Otherwise perhaps a more experienced backup goalie would help. Otherwise this has to be one of the best NHL rosters possible.
