Thread: Tampa again next year
Gourde is a fine 4th liner .. he COULD be a 3rd liner for other teams. As we ALL know his contract is for a top 6 guy which he NEVER was. On his contract .. his NTC is really just for 2 more years (2022) then its modified where he picks 22 teams he OK being traded to. So really this NTC is just 2 years. (NOTE: Jonhson is similar in that his full NTC stops after next year (2021) and he can be exposed in expansion draft or traded to 20 teams) ..

Soooo the issue is does Tampa "firesale" these guys now with their consent or waive them or just wait to modified NTCs kick in .. the big issue is the 3 RFAs we have .. we MAY take advantage of lower AAVs for a wildly high 3rd year total ( like 2M/3M/10M) .. the AAV is the same but player would be a higher amount for year 4 .. I really think Cernek is reluctantly traded with Gourde to Detroit.. solves all the issues

Thread: Cirelli and Point
Firstly .. Point and Cirelli are a great 1C and 2C for next decade .. both good 2 way with Cirelli ability to be elite D .. Point much more talented skill wise .. he elite .. Cirelli crashes into nets for a reason.. lol .. but should be Point 100 pts a year and Cirelli 60 a year for a long time.

As I said before .. recall I am an advanced thinker.. we need both Cirelli and Sergachev .. unfortunately the one we should trade to make this happen is Cernek .. like the guy but he has no NTC is good but is replaceable and we can't sign everyone .. my dream scenario is trade Cernek and Johnson to Calgary for Janokowski Harmonic and some pieces.. do this NOW .. on this scenario.. Killorn goes back to 2nd line .. Janowkowski Vergeghe and Foligno (Wild trade) is our 3rd line . we have shot at Cup with these moves

Thread: Bolts fans lets sit back and enjoy our break
1st half observations ...

1. Kuch is back
2. Cirelli move to 2nd line C has been critical .. solidified the line and allows top 6 flexibility
3. Rutta has been very good.. although not last couple games .. but Shattenkirk has been incredible .. probably #1 surprise reason team is where is and he has helped Serg development
e. Serg has matured alot and play shows it .. miscues went from daily to minimal
f. Vaz is firmly back
g. Palat healthy and creating
h. Carter Verhege is a keeper and solid 3rd liner
I. If Shattenkirk is surprise #1 .. Killorn is #2 .. 20 goals? are you kidding me?
j. Maroon .. just as advertised
k. No sense even ruining post with Gourde and Tiny Tyler reviews

STILL need some 3rd line help/center ASAP and an insurance RD would be good for playoffs. We should NOT stand still like last year.
