Goaltending my friend is the weak point here, other then that I can't wait to see this Florida rivalry develop

If they get a a good 3C they’re my cup favourite but like the maple laugh they need to win at least a round

I don’t like the 2nd pairing tbh

Bobrovsky isn’t horrible but not worth 10 millions… maybe 5/6 millions and Knight might end his career as the greatest American goalie ever at least a top 10 goalie as soon as next year imo

Maybe trade nutivaara and a prospect for someone like Letang since I see the pens finally falling apart this year

Right state wrong team

If they do a move like that, I’m betting on them for the cup

honestly I wanna see Reinhart as the 2nd line center, he was super underrated in Buffalo and in my opinion is better then Cirelli on tampa

Lundell is also not in this lineup

Isles almost beat you and now you lost Gourde and Johnson with little space to add deadline acquisitions

Put Lundell at 3C,
Trade Denisenko and some cap for a good 2nd pairing Dman on a good contract.

This is the greatest team in the world.... tribute.

bolts gonna fall apart this year bro

ikr..

Yup they’ll easily be the deepest team in the league… maybe get Carter (for 3C) and Letang in a package at the deadline all 50% retained

Any team with Kuch on the team is not a team that is gonna fall apart, should be a good rivalry though

I kinda wanna see what Lundell can do as the 3C though.

Did he sign his ELC? If so absolutely the guy is a massive steal

Let's see best top 6 ..... Left side defense and Goalie in the league but they're gonna fall apart bhahaha bhahaha with a solid very solid bottom six and rhd

in what world is cernak, rutta, bogosian very good defense?

So far as I know, he signed a 925,000 ELC and is signed until 2024

Don't get much offense but are very solid as I said earlier defensively Cernak is a top pair guy all day any day

Still better than 31 other teams and no they really didn't at no point we're they in control

Then they don’t need a 3C anymore now they just need a guy like Letang in the top4… goddamn they’ll be dangerous then

So the Isles "almost" beat a team that tossed aside the supposed great Panthers, but yet the Panthers are better than everyone now, pretty sound logic....Tampa did lose some depth but still have one of, if not the best top 6, a better defense than Florida, and well, goaltending needs no further comparison between the teams. Florida is definitely a contender but far from any validity to "best team in the world" claims.
