Sujet: TB Lightning 2021 season preview
This is interesting, without Kuch and Stammer some guys will have to step up.

Let's start with the defense. Losing Coburn won't hurt at all and I expect Foote to make their team out of camp.

At offense, Point, Cirelli and Killorn will have to be very good in order to compensate for Stammer and Kuch not being there, at least to start the year in Stamkos' case.

The x factor for them will be guys like Johnson and Gourde playing at their best potential level.

Here's how I'd build their opening night lineup:
Killorn-Point-Johnson
Coleman-Cirelli-Palat
Goodrow-Gourde-Maroon
Volkov-Stephens-Joseph

Hedman-Schenn
McDonagh-Cernak
Sergachev-Foote

Vasilevskiy
McElhinney

Sujet: Edmonton Oilers signed Zack Kassian (4 Years / $3,200,000 AAV)
Well... Its not as bad as the Abdelkader contract I guess? $10 bucks it has a far too generous NTC attached.

Sujet: Bolts fans lets sit back and enjoy our break
<div class="quote"><div class="quote_t">Quoting: <b>BOLTLOVER1</b></div><div>1st half observations ...

1. Kuch is back
2. Cirelli move to 2nd line C has been critical .. solidified the line and allows top 6 flexibility
3. Rutta has been very good.. although not last couple games .. but Shattenkirk has been incredible .. probably #1 surprise reason team is where is and he has helped Serg development
e. Serg has matured alot and play shows it .. miscues went from daily to minimal
f. Vaz is firmly back
g. Palat healthy and creating
h. Carter Verhege is a keeper and solid 3rd liner
I. If Shattenkirk is surprise #1 .. Killorn is #2 .. 20 goals? are you kidding me?
j. Maroon .. just as advertised
k. No sense even ruining post with Gourde and Tiny Tyler reviews

STILL need some 3rd line help/center ASAP and an insurance RD would be good for playoffs. We should NOT stand still like last year.</div></div>

My opinions:
1. Kuch: He's definitely back, but he's still only scratching the surface (which is amazing ofr us and terrifying for other teams). 8 goals in his last 7 games.
2. Cirelli, what a ****ing player! Really hope we can somehow re-sign him long term (very difficult, I know)
3. Rutta is a beast. Cheap, solid, nothing fancy. Does the work.
4. Sergy? Boy oh boy, I've been preaching on his favor for quite some time now, dividends are starting to pay off. What a player. Same as Cirelli, would be amazing to re-sign him long term but it's close to impossible.
5. Vas the Big Cat is back indeed. In his last 7 games, Vasi has a .964 SV% and 1.14GAA. Back in Vezina trophy territory, to be one of the final three he'll have to have a very strong second half tho.
6. Palat is great. Money well spent when he's playing like this season. I really like him a lot alongside Cirelli. Both heart and soul, grinding guys and they have great chemistry.
7. Verhaeghe is good. Advanced stats nerds also like him a lot. Kid can shoot the puck very well and he's gained a lot of confidence.
8: Killorn. Confidence is sky high. Never seen him playing as he's doing this season. He's peaking at the best time possible. <strong>If </strong>we won't able to keep him, we'll get a little haul in return. Win-win situation for us.
9. Maroon = playoff beast. We'll see what he has to offer in April.
10. Gourde and Johnson, what a shame. Dream situation would be us being able to ship them both out of Tampa in the offseason, but how? Key point of our 2020 offseason: at least one of these two <em><strong>HAS</strong></em> to be traded away.
11. Stammer is playing great. Defensively more responsible than previous seasons, I don't care what anybody says he's a true leader.
12. Point can play a lot better and I firmly believe he'll have a strong second half. Having the offseason double hip surgery + missing training camp surely hindered his performance this first half. Just like when Kucherov missed training camp and in the second half of the season he exploded, I expect the same for Point. Watch out.
13. I like Stephens. Sound defensively, a beast on the faceoff circle (yesterday he won 8 faceoffs of the 9 he took) and his chemistry with Verhaeghe is evident. I believe he has a lot more to offer offensively, next season he will take a step forward IMO
14. Hedman is the best Dman in the league and it's not even close.

Sujet: Subban would rebound on a pair with Hedman
<div class="quote"><div class="quote_t">Quoting: <b>MisstheWhalers</b></div><div>Exactly that plus with 50% retention it likely greatly increases the Devils asking price, he's just not worth it.

I see two teams for Subban, possibly Philly and NJ,
there's just no one else where I can see a need for him or that could fit him, maybe the Canucks too but that's it.</div></div>

I know it's subjective, but IMO Subban isn't even a 4.5m Dmen. Jersey would better off trading him for 7th rounder, eating 4.5m retention and then have 4.5m to spend elsewhere.

Maybe there should be "lemon law" like there is for cars. Leafs trade Ceci and two second rounders for 4.5m Subban. Subban comes with 30 month warranty. Leafs can give him back anytime starting next June to Jersey and get their picks back too.
