Summer of Change Pt 2

Created by: BleedBoltsBlue
Team: 2023-24 Tampa Bay Lightning
Initial Creation Date: May 10, 2023
Published: May 10, 2023
Salary Cap Mode: Basic
Description
For this edition of Summer of Change I went with 3 players from Syracuse making the roster for Tampa. Tampa will need speed and affordability on the Bottom 6. Fortier, Koepke, Glendening, and Eyssimont offer those qualities.

Glendening is a great option for a 4th C with speed and faceoff ability.

Tampa dips into Syracuse again with Barre-Boulet at RW2.

Lastly, can BriseBois convince Dumoulin to come play a lesser role in Tampa to extend the cup window?

This is horrendous this team truly fights for a playoff spot it's weaker offensively defensively and push in goal.

Glendening has a 59% faceoff winning percentage and is a much better skater than Bellemare. Varlamov is vastly better than Brian Elliott, he had a .913 save % and you have to feel more secure with him as a backup. You get weaker on the Bottom 6 LW spots. But at some point you have to use the farm system and see if they can play. Colton and Killorn are gone. You could bring back Ian Cole in place of Dumoulin but he had an up and down year.

I would argue weaker offensively, better defensively from being able to skate with faster offensive teams and much better in net.

The trade is the trade, Colton already filed for arbitration once. TB not really in a good spot in terms of getting back value for a guy who can walk July 1 if there's no favorable settlement.

Colton gone is foolish. That trade is complete dogs***
If your talking save % with Elliot you didn't watch the games how many times did the team absolutely leave him hung out to dry? How many games when he let up 4 did the coaching staff and players both say Moose was our best player.
What have you got that says Barre-Boulet is an NHL top 6? At almost 26 he was top 10 scorer in the AHL? he's 26.
League min goalie will be ok add the million dollars in cap space you didn't add sign a vet LD if you want in the 1-1.2 resign Colton show a source of his arbitration filing

Out of curiosity who was the last established NHL player Brisebois traded for picks ? Brisebois post TDL presser "I'm aware of the odds of picks becoming good NHL players, and with this core we'll be contenders and much rather the good player now than in the 2-3 years from now."
