Description

Tampa will never win the division while Tavares and Matthews are on the same team. Stamkos has a long contract but this year will be his last chance at contending realistically.

Tyler Johnson is too expensive as Brayden Point's backup, and he has a NTC. Maybe he'll waive to take a bigger role close to Spokane, WA.

Tampa is great during the regular season and can score goals by the bushel, but they need more grit to get through the playoffs.

Awful trade for Tampa. Johnson is much better than Sutter, has a NTC and won't be waiving for VAN and Foote is one of their best prospects, basically untouchable.

Agreed, I don’t think Tampa has many options being so tight to the cap with so many ntc’s. the one thing they do have going is a load of offensive prospects. I think they will be co tending for quite a while even if stamps is in a diminished role.

Yeah fat chance of Tyler Johnson leaving a potential cup contender in Tampa, For a cellar dweller in Vancouver.

I would've assumed this was a joke if I hadn't read the description

Tampa is great during the regular season and can score goals by the bushel, but they need more grit to get through the playoffs. Couldn't the same thing be said about Toronto.

I think this division is going to be crazy and fun to watch for the next few years with Tampa, Toronto, Boston, Florida and possibly Buffalo but some of the Leafs fans are clearly such homers that they make statements such as with Tavares and Matthews the Lightning can't win the division and this is their last year to contend.
