Palat + Paul > Namestnikov + Marchment + Kulak

Not bad

The blueline is seriously degraded. can't remember the last non lightning free agent TB spent more than a million on. The Marchment and Namestnikov are a no. The LA is underwhelming giving up 2 blueliners pass.

That blueline looks fine

LA says no. Not for that price LoL

I still think Vilardi, Helge Grans and our 2022 first is a good offer for Sergachev. I think exchanging RDs of two entirely different styles just confuses things.

Tampa easily declines. That offer doesn't even get Sergachev.

not nearly as stacked with durzi and kulak as it is with Sergi and foote

Still looks stacked enough to me. Hey, Tampa's core is only getting more expensive, gonna have to make sacrifices along the contention window

i do believe Sergi is the odd man out just like a bit of a better offer

Yeah, it makes sense for him to be. Even though Sergy a better player than Cernak, he's dare I say a bit redundant when playing behind Hedman. Cernak also brings more physicality and sandpaper than any of their other defenders. As for Cirelli, we all know he brings something to the forward group that none of the other forwards do with his strong two-way game

Cernak is a far better defender. TB has a lot of strong 2 way player Alex Killorn, Ondrej Palat, Brayden Point

Yeah, Cernak is better defensively than Sergy, but Sergy is the more valuable player overall. Brayden Point isn't a two-way player

Don't watch a lot of lightning games do You? Point has a very good 2 way game

vernak plays a much more needed position ( i know Sergi can) (not nearly as good on the right side.)

Yeah, Point doesn't kill penalties and I don't see him having the same degree of detail to his game the way Cirelli does. He's just better at scoring

Does he No Could he Yes is he as good defensively as Cirelli NO ,but VERY few are!!!!

I haven't seen anything in Point's game that makes me think he has legit utility defensively

i'm going to politely addamantly disagree!!!!

At even strength, I don't really see Point helping out the defenders all that extensively when the puck is in the defensive zone the way I see Cirelli do so

By the way, the Lightning are not YET a dynasty if they lose tonight

Only 2 teams have more consecutive playoff series wins and no one has been to 3 cup final in a row since 1984 so Yes they are stop being Jealous because Your team has been around 25 more years with currently 3 less Stanley Cups. which mean a big fat ZERO!!!!

Defining a dynasty isn't a relative term. Your take is a reach, a core group of players needs to win a minimum of 3 cups (doesn't have to be consecutive) in order to qualify as a dynasty, and no, I'm not jealous

I'm quite content with the bright future that my own team has. Whether they win a cup or not in several years time we'll see

Okay, that's being a little over the top now don't you think? It's not just about making the cup finals, you actually have to win

when you do thing not done since the 84 Islanders Your a DYNASTY!!!!!!!!!!!![/quote]

Like I said, the definition of a dynasty is not a relative term, there is a certain standard in which everyone defines what qualifications make a dynasty, and yours isn't it because I can visibly tell you're high at the moment

Your definition of a dynasty feels like a feeble attempt at bragging, that's why I don't buy it
