<div class="quote"><div class="quote_t">Quoting: <b>aedoran</b></div><div>Johnson isn't waiving for Detroit. Plus he doesn't have a lot of value from Detroit's point of view he's 30 with 4yrs left on his contract at $5M per. and his production has dropped in each of the last couple of seasons. Being on the wrong side of 30 that most likely isn't going to get better. A playoff team or a contender is your best bet if you want a big return for Johnson.</div></div>

Yeah, TB in a tough spot with Johnson. He's a "tweener" can't seem to find a solidified role on Tampa. I picked Detroit considering that Stevie Y gets a 2nd round pick attached and that Detroit doesn't have to protect Johnson for the upcoming expansion draft. Maybe he waives for a chance to play bigger minutes for a year and then goes home to Washington state to maybe be the captain for Seattle?

<div class="quote"><div class="quote_t">Quoting: <b>NMAvsFan</b></div><div>I actually do like Gourde's game for the most part but his numbers have been declining precipitously for the past 3 seasons although he did have a decent PO showing this year. Any chance that's due to him being buried down the depth chart? Or is this him simply regressing to his mean? If it's the former, maybe he could fit in with the Avs; if it's the latter, then Colorado is just taking Tampa's albatross for them so they can re-sign the up-and-coming Cirelli. He's got 5x5.166 left which isn't insignificant so Avs pass. Also, doesn't Gourde have an NTC? Think he's just going to waive it to leave the SC champs?</div></div>

It's a tough call, he has had success playing top 6 minutes. His contract was due to that 25+ goal rookie season. I do think he is buried on the TB roster. He could play the 2nd line for TB, but Johnson seems to get stapled to the Top 6 based off of reputation with Jon Cooper. The big question for Colorado, is Yanni Gourde a better Nazem Kadri, worse or the same? The contract is more, but is the value better over the long-term? Also, the only way I think Gourde waives is to go to a team that has a chance to contend, that's why I picked Colorado.

Sujet: Lines I wouldnt mind seeing when Point returns
<div class="quote"><div class="quote_t">Quoting: <b>jasalex</b></div><div>I agree until Point returns let the seasoned forwards that are paid well play top six. If they are successful then they add value to the team or for trade purpose. Put Gourde third line center and see if he can produce, again can only add value.

Oct lines;
Palat- Tyler- Kuch: triplets are back
Killorn-Cirelli- Stammer: Killorn and Cirelli have chemistry and Cirelli gets a chance as second line center.
Volkov-Gourde- Joseph
Verghaeghe-Paquette- Maroon

If Palat or Killorn faulters then we have options.</div></div>

I like these lines right here...Cooper paired Cirelli with Stamkos in game 4 vs Columbus, seemed to be an effective pairing. Putting the Triplets back together early on could be something that gets Palat going to start the season. I think I would switch out Verhaeghe for Gemel Smith. I think Smith's style is better suited to play along side Paquette and Maroon.

Okay so give me names of proven winners that aren’t taken and have a system that could win in today’s NHL? You seem to be in the crowd of “Fire Cooper” but don’t provide solutions, names of coaches etc. The only guy I would bring in for Cooper is Quenneville but he’s off the market. Just because Cooper doesn’t show the media that he’s interested doesn’t mean much of anything. We could have Melnyk and Dorion just remember that.

Okay as for Point.... once again why would Point leave? Players like to win.... Tampa wins. Point can leave sure, but whose giving up those draft picks and paying his salary? He’s not going to Ottawa, Edmonton, or New Jersey and willing to mortgage the prime years of his career in losing. On top of having money lost through taxes. All the teams with no state tax are in the upper half of the NHL right now so they can’t provide compensation for offer sheets.

I was on the train of “Fire Cooper” after being swept but I quickly got off because you don’t fire a coach that wins 62 games. It’s tough to justify that because then who do you hire?

Erne is replaceable but he will be back because of 2 reasons: 1) first full season in NHL last year, can’t replace after that small of a sample size. 2) bigger forward that Tampa doesn’t have, he just needs to understand that he’s 210 lbs and play like a net-front player. He plays like a perimeter player

Paquette may leave but he has a role on a perennial contender, tough to leave when you have a solidified role.

As for bridge deals...... only young players who have elite potential get higher bridge deals in the Lightning system. Gourde didn’t get one, and neither did Miller. Johnson and Palat were figured to have elite potential after Palat was a Calder nominee and Johnson scored 72 points one season so they got small bridges and they haven’t panned out. Kucherov got one for obvious reasons and Point should as well but they have been consistent for the past few seasons.
