What a Cup. TOTAL domination of NHL
Now on to off-season. Get rid of AWFUL Tyler Johnson and have 11M .. thxs to Shatterkirk Maroon Rutta Schenn Bogo and Paquette .. who are all gone.
Sorry forgot to make deals.. rusty .. LOL .. trade Tyker Johnson for a used jock ..he SUCKS.. time for Foote Stephens Volkov Stephens and Bulle Bare .. reload time ..ZERO need to bring in vets until mid season.
I hope Maroon, Bogo and Schenn all come back for 1M or less, we can't afford Shatty and Rutta can go to the moon for all I care. Paquette can probably return something. Would be cool to pursue Bobby Ryan if he can be signed for around 1M too. I also hope we move Coburn, no point holding on to him if he's just gonna be benched all year. I doubt he would want that either. Someone will inquire about him for a depth role.

Maroon's gonna try to cash in. He took 2 deals that were a single year and low cost and won cups. He has his rings. He's shown what he can do. Now it's time for his deal.
I think Shattenkirk will take more money too. People always trashed him and Tamp picked him up. He showed he can play both ways. I don't think he'll break the bank, but he won't sign for $1M.
Schenn, meh. He's nothing more than a 7th d-man anyways. Won't break the bank but won't hurt to lose either.

Regardless of Maroon getting 2 cups in a row he is still a 4th liner, if he is asking for too much then Tampa can't afford him which is a real shame. Before the flat cap I had Shattenkirk pinned for 4-4.5M for like 3 years. I think he will probably sign for around 3.5M now, obviously that is too much for Tampa regardless. I really liked Schenn in these playoffs, thought he played pretty solid before getting hurt. He shouldn't be expensive to bring back and he worked really well in the 11-7 strategy.

I think it is obvious how great Shatterkirk and Maroon are/were .. you could argue Shatterkirk was Team MVP this year as the NEW piece .. he was grade A to me and will cash in for 4 year 12M which Gampa can't afford and will replace with Foote .. Maroon will be at Colorado or Carolina next year .. maybe even Vancouver .. wants to be first 3x Cup winner
Ah you recall my hatred .. LOL .. I will beg for mercy on this one as he was great in playoffs .. ALTHOUGH Coleman and Goodrow were fantastic and helped little Yanni ALOT ..
My other hated piece if you eyeball waa Tyler Johson.. 100% correct on that piece of crap
