Wild fans need to chill. He's an AHLer.

I want to know what kind of deal Guttman is going to get from someone that led him to turn us down.
Edit: just saw he's heading to Chicago, but not official yet.

So, now after the Monahan deal and the Marleau deal and a the Patches deal.

Can we just appreciate how freaking amazing the Johnson for Seabrook deal was?

I was furious about it at the time, but in hindsight, seems like the Lightning got off real easy.

It is with regret that I announce that my time here on CapFriendly has come to an end.

I wanted to give special thanks to the Lightning fans in this thread. You guys made this past season so much more enjoyable, and as I alluded to in my farewell letter (See below), you guys made this the best team forum on CapFriendly BY FAR. Best of luck to you.

We should lock up the core now so all their contracts look like bargains in 3 years...... Oh wait.

They might counter with Haydn Fleury you know.

That's probably too much

Gourde is crazy if you see games live. From the warm ups to the final whistle his energy is infectious. You don't get it as much if you watch the games in tv.

Have you guys been paying attention to the preseason? What are you hoping the lines will look like?

Absolutely no idea but it looks like Koepke and Fort Gabe are staying with the team "through the first week of the season" at least.

If I had my way...

Namestnikov-Stamkos-Kucherov
Colton-Point-Hagel
Killorn-Paul-Koepke
Old-Men-Line

They ran Hagel-Point-Kuch yesterday when Stamkos was out, but I don't recall it being too effective.
Colton-Point-Paul would be interesting as well if only we had another center capable player. Maybe once Cirelli returns.

I'll have my pre-season prospect assessment out tomorrow.
Fair warning though, I have not really looked into much of our new draftees this off-season, so they'll all still be up in the air in my book except for Howard.
