Matt Tomkins has signed a new contract with the Tampa Bay Lightning.

Taking the long route to the Show.

Food for him! $250k a year is really good money.

He's the backup in Syracuse or maybe starter in Orlando. Good for him. As said above 250k is a nice salary

You have to be a real salty person to vote no on a league minimum 2 way contract

How? Most likely those people don't believe Tompkins is worthy of an NHL contract, Tompkins certainly isn't a player to get salty over, he's an AHL goalie

He's basically got a 250 k minor league contract how is that ever bad for the team? You whoever you are has to vote not on a minor league deal makes you a bit of a Curmudgeon

Good for him on getting the deal, there's just better guys available at the level he'll be playing. So for me it's a no.

You care who the Orlando solar bears goalie is and that's the level at best he's playing. Voting No makes you a salty curmudgeon.

Why would I be salty about a depth goalie signing? Just pointing out that there's probably better/ younger ufa's available.

Have you ever seen the guy play I haven't? So at best it's a guess sorry voting no makes you a Curmudgeon

You're pathetic, it's 2023 I googled him, and I googled ufa goalies. After some pondering I figured that hmm tampa, maybe could've looked at ufa college or junior goalies for that spot considering they might have some untapped potential. Wasn't my plan to get called a "curmudgeon" by some salty bolts loser.
