Still pretty darn good! Can really only see Toronto finishing above them in Atlantic, even if it’s a deep division. And really with Vasy in net, wouldn’t surprise me at all if they finish at the top with a good summers rest for the 1st time in 4 years

first time in awhile tampa aint making the playoffs

Far more likely Barre-Boulet is in Syracuse than the top 6

Good lineup, and they should definitely be a playoff team. ABB will likely get a chance if he has a good camp and pre-season, as based on his play in Syracuse last year and the staff's opinions seem to indicate he took a big step. I think Tampa might go with 13F and 7D rather than 12/8, so they'll have a littlle more depth there(either Brown or Watson will likely be able get a spot).

Look out for Merelä, best "prospect" we have IMO, above ABB in terms of overall 200 feet quality of play.

Don’t really think Merela is a prospect. More of an international pro signing. He has a very good shot at making the roster.
