Retooling

Created by: Point21
Team: 2023-24 Tampa Bay Lightning
Initial Creation Date: Apr. 30, 2023
Published: Apr. 30, 2023
Salary Cap Mode: Basic
Description
Killorn has expressed wanting to stay as he said he would have retired if Seattle picked him in the ED. I'm all for bringing him back if he takes a huge hometown discount under 1.5m

Adding Drouin would make sense if he is put with 2 defensive forwards like Stamkos and Cirelli. also adds more scoring to the top 6 and he could find his game again.

Colton could look to cash in on a long term deal and might price himself out of Tampa. If so, i would look to get cheaper contracts for him. Sturm fits perfectly as a 3rd line C and Knyzhov would fit as a bottom pairing guy for cheap and could swap in and out with Fleury during the season.

Balcers, Maroon, Ryfors can all be interchanged during the year

    Probably cost like a 4 next year . To dump this 2 contracts. I think trading Colton especially for a meh overall upgrade at best Colton is clearly the best player in the trade would bite TB in the butt. There is no planet where Drouin does or should play here as anything other than a visitor.

    Sharks decline, two solid and cheap nhl players with term for an ahl player and an arbitration eligible depth forward. Not a good move for San Jose

    Sharks pass. Knyzhov just came off two years of bad injuries and is finally healthy and still looks like a top 4 shutdown D and Sturm is a really solid bottom 6 C

    Colton next year getting top 6 time is a 30+ goal scorer TB should pass .

    Lol yea no he isn’t but good luck with that. He’s a decent middle 6 but I would be shocked to hit 30 goals.

    Did you think before he left Jonathan Marchessault was going to score 30 ? Did you think before he left Carter Verheaghe was going to score 40 ? I call BS if you say yes.I got Marchessault and missed on Verheaghe. Did you think Taylor Raddysh was going to put up 2 guys look like 3/4 th liners on a stacked TB team where they're under utilized because of such depth. Ross Colton over the last 2 seasons 1.14 goals per 60 minutes. Playing with 3/4th liners and 2nd pp sometimes. Let's compare that to John Tavares playing top 6 players on the top Pp ohh he's at 1.12 per 60 I'll take my chances with the added ice time and higher talent linemates he does even better.

    Colton is a good player but the Sharks have waited very patiently for 2 years to get Knyzhov back. They obviously think very highly of him to wait that long and then sign him for two years. Grier thinks very highly of Sturm. He has said so in all of his pressers this year and at the TDL said it would take a lot for him to consider trading him. Colton had only a few more points than Sturm and only two more goals. But Sturm plays top PK and is a leader in SJ.

    Not to mention both Sturm and Kny have two years left at a combined 3,250,000 cap hit while colton is an arb eligible RFA who's going to get paid too much. Keep your guy and we'll keep ours.

    Sometimes both teams are better off not doing the deal and TBL need Colton to take Kilorms spot next year anyways
