That 2nd Line tho.

Johnson and Palat cost 10m, Panarim and Ansimov cost 10.25m Doesn't help Tampa's cap dilemma and player wise, may not help Tampa either.

Tampa gets a top 10 point scorer in the league. Panarin Anisimov Kucherov would be a sick russian connection line.

I agree with palhal why would tampa make this move at best its a sideways move for hawks it doesnt make hawks better or deeper . tyler johnson is 5 foot eight and can not win faceoffs , smaltz and kero can not win faceoffs . three players under 5'9 and under tvr is not a top four dman in the nhl and your 5 and 6 dmen are rookis with almost no nhl experience . come playoffs your top three would have to play 30 minutes each . this team is to small and soft and does not have enough experience to go far into playoffs they would be checked through the boards and worn down by the second round if by some fluke they made it pass the first round. i responded to your question on debrincat and the d on my post

Johnson and Palat gives Tampa 10 years service. Panarin two. And is Anisimov really that good, compared to Palat and Johnson?

He was on pace for 60 points in a full 82 game season.. Better than both at a solid cap hit.

Just a thought , who is your pk center and which is your checking line . your lineup lacks balance .

Well, Motte is a good PK guy as is Kero and Hayden is a big body. So my 4th line is my checking line and my 3rd line is a scoring line. 3 scoring lines generally makes for deep playoff runs. That's the best balance possible.

so two rookies and kero who is practically a rookie and cant win a faceoff is a playoff checking line and pk line ?????

Well, If they resign Rasmussen he's a pretty darn good defensive forward. I ultimately don't think this will happen, but I have to wonder if Putin is involved somehow!!! haha Hey, Little Stevie Y... I want the best Russian line possible! Теперь!!!! Panarin Kuch would be AWESOME!!! and Anisimov does such a good job defensively. Faceoffs not so much, but great line!

I do not know why Debrincat is on the first line....
