<div class="quote"><div class="quote_t">Quoting: <b>JTBF81</b></div><div>If the scheme/system doesn't change then yes, defensive additions probably won't matter. There are players out there that could definitely help and be upgrades (Seeler, Lyubushkin, Benning perhaps and others), that Tampa could male work, both in regards to the cap and not giving away entire draft classes to acquire.

Blashill was a terrible hire from the start, and he needs to be fired asap. He's Cooper's buddy though, and as you said, he's a people person, so JBB needs to just step in and get it done.

As far as the Stamkos contract, I think he will be re-signed, but not until after the season or late in it. I believe JBB wanted to wait and see.more official cap numbers before the season, and he usually does contracts in the offseason, so perhaps that's what is going on. I also believe he wanted to see.how Stamkos and the team looked this season before committing another 3-4 years and an aav in the 6.5-7 range(at least), into a soon to be 34 year old Stamkos.

There will be other holes to try and plug this offseason, and even with the projected increase, Tampa will oy have in the 12.x range for Stamkos and at least 4 or 5 other roster spots. It's a tricky balancing act for JBB, but I do hope that if they come to a mutually beneficial arrangement with Stamkos, they then allocate the majority of what they have to an improvement at either 3LD or a #4 type RD. They can get rid of Sheary if needed and go with a cheaper F to add maybe another million or close and then spend the bulk of what they have on a dman(whether that's re-signing someone acquired at the tdl or an offseason ufa, who knows). I'd like them to get both Seeler and Lyubushkin now, and then potentially be able to roll this rest of this year and maybe next:
Hedman-Lyubushkin
Sergachev-Cernak
Seeler-Raddysh
With Jack Thompson, Declan Carlile and others ready(or close) to be part of the dcorp as well.</div></div>

I mostly agree with everything but like you said, without firing blashill I just dont think the additions of lyubushkin and seeler would be enough for this team to make the playoffs. recently the problems have been less and less giveaways and losing 1 on 1s, and more systems issues. I am also not really a fan of carlile either, I think thompson, lilleberg, and crozier have been more solid, potentially even powell.
