Description

Yes, a 1st rounder for Goodrow kinda stings.

But.

Look at his contract and cap hit. Just like Coleman, Goodrow is necessary for the team to re-sign Cirelli, Cernak and Sergachev AND stay very competitive next season.

Also: this is lineup porn. Top 9 filled with 20 goals scorers, a lot of toughness and grit.
This is the best Lightning lineup we've EVER seen.

Right Side needs work for defence, other than that it's a perfect lineup.
Try
Hedman-Sergachev
McDonagh-Rutta
Cernak-Shattenkirk

Hedman-Rutta have been amazing this season together. They complement each others very well.
McDonagh-Cernak has been the best Lightning defensive pair for 2 seasons now.
Sergachev-Shattenkirk they just play good together. Sergachev limits Shattenkirk mistakes

Agree on the 12 up front as best "cup ready" top 12 Lightning has ever had .. REALLY needed size and grit and move TJ and Gourde to irrelevant as we had no Cup chance with them. The fact that this will accelerate their moves after season is great for 2020 cap. I would rather rotate sitting them and playing Verhegee but let it play out.

Still nervous on D .. Hedman goes down we are screwed just like last year. We have THREE Defenseman currently out and 2 haven't played in a. month or more .. Sergachev has improved greatly since December but hasnt done it in the playoffs.. etc. etc.. .. still lots of moving pieces on back end but yes I love the forward group and want to put a stake in the heart of shrimp approach on e and for all.

Side note.. what an amazing last 10 days of NHL trades!!!!! .. ps San Jose 3rd is almost like a late 2nd .. the trade picks are probably less than 40 picks apart
