Description

With Cirelli slotting into 2C.. Tampa's 3rd line is Land of Misfit Toys and needs total revamp ASAP if playoffs happen.

Trades

TBL

Bonino, Nick

Additional Details:

Consistent center .. like a center version of Killorn .. should flourish in 3C role in Tampa if given a solid wing. Contract digestible at 4M for 2020. Nashvile looking to shed cap if no playoffs and since no one taking Turris .. has to be Bonino

NSH

Verhaeghe, Carter
2020 2nd round pick (TBL)

Additional Details:

Nashville really gets winger/prospect of choice and draft pick as sqeetner.

Stamkos is now a winger .. 12th year .. horrendous defensively .. fulltime winger now with Cirelli as 2C

Johnson is awful and out of town soon .. Stephens is another shrimp .. as is ABB who hasn't played a shift in NHL .. ALL are small shrimps NOT the 3C we need.

It amazes me how non Tampa fans here on CAP friendly have illusion of this abundence of Tampa talent .. It really doesn't exist .. other than Hedman ALL other defensemen where from trades/FAs and there is NOT ONE Cruncher who anyone believes will be in top 6 in their career .. and worse is they all shrimps that cant play 3rd and 4th line defensive/physical roles. Yzerman really screwed this team with the small/fast approach .. as we watched Caps win easy last night with Tom Wilson on 1st line.

Not a Lightning fan but an objective hockey fan who cheers for the Jets but I gotta agree with you, your Lightning team is small up front and has become redundant and stale, too many of the same players which coincidentally is the same problem the Jets have imo, gonna sound old school but not enough board bangers/drive to the net bang home the garbage goals type of players.

I think the Tampa needs a retool quick while Stammer still has some good years left in him, gonna be tough to work with all those NMC'S and NTC’S though.

As a Leaf fan, I hardly want to dump on the success/talent of the Lightning. But you bring up some good points. How really successful has Tampa been since they got the # 1 and #2 picks in draft, Stamkos and Hedman? Twelve seasons, 10 playoff round wins, one Conference Finals wins. Missed the playoffs four times. Average to good would be my report card. Don't know Yzerman has been perceived as some GM genius. Seemed like he left when the those NTCs are really going to constrain Tampa next summer.
