Predicting the lines

Created by: Point21
Team: 2022-23 Tampa Bay Lightning
Initial Creation Date: Jul. 31, 2022
Published: Jul. 31, 2022
Salary Cap Mode: Basic
Description
To start i think Coop will reunite the old top line of Vladdy-Stamkos-Kuch, round it out with a 2nd line of Hagel-Point-Killorn, the gritty 3rd line of Colton-Paul-BB/?, and end with the School Bus line of Maroon-PEB-Perry. For the D pairings, i think it could go many ways, maybe Sergy gets move to the right side to start and run Hedman-Sergy and Cole-Cernak, Or keep him on the left side and go Hedman-Foote/Myers, Sergy-Cernak, Cole-Foote/Myers. Once Cirelli and Bogo return i wouldnt mind having these lines to go into the deadline:
Killorn-Point-Kuch
Hagel-Cirelli-Stamkos
Colton-Paul-Vladdy
Maroon-PEB-Perry

Hedman-Bogo
Sergy-Cernak
Cole-Foote/Myers

Vasy
Elliott

The only issue i see is if someone like Koepke or Fortier has a great camp. does BB get pushed out in a trade, does one of Myers or Foote get moved to get under the cap once Cirelli and Bogo return?

I think he's less nostalgic than that . I hope so anyway TB gave a F***ing king's Ransome for Hagel see if the whole production with kame was a fluke or not.

Hagel will get top 6 minutes and hopefully PP time as well. Coop has shown he has his favorites, he will test it in training camp and preseason and probably the first couple weeks of the season. If it works then Vladdy looks like a steal. if not he can sit in the middle 6 and go from there

Yeah, Names and Hagel should definitely be in the top 6, unless they want Colton on wing and Paul as 3C until Cirelli gets back. Names wasn't far off from a 20 goal scorer last year and has been close to .5 ppg a couple seasons since leaving Tampa. He's also bounced around quite a few teams, so he hasn't necessarily had the consistency all the time to be overly successful. If he can be a 20 goal, 40-45 point guy, he'll be exactly what Tampa needs. The same holds true for Hagel, and as you said, with consistent top 6 and some PP time, he should be able to get there.

There will be some mixing and matching. The forward lines in the blue boxes looks like a good place to start. Namestnikov get reunited with Kucherov see if the cranks up his scoring. Second line works if Kilorn gets his scoring touch back and Hagel can get shots on net and not right at goalie pads. Third line might work if Barre-Boulet gets or finds some grit. Fourth line is what it is...I like Maroon. Bellemare is fine. Perry is a problem, makes the line a slow moving operation.

I noticed that I didn't miss Cirelli one bit offensively. I am still in shock that he severely overpaid for Cirelli, Sergachev, and Cernak in that order. Cernak deal was OK with me. If I hear one more time "The Future Selke Trophy winner about Cirelli, I am going to twist off. Paying 7 million for a third or 4th line center and penalty killer (in my book) is falling in love with your own players and the Lightning will be year to year with the cap for another 8 years. YIKES!
