Thread: 2023 Lightning Offseason Discussion
Just putting this here cause I thought it was cool, from Chris Kenn "For everyone asking, the #Bolts did have 23 on the roster when it was submitted to the league. They accomplished this with a paper transaction that sent Merela to Syracuse as he doesn’t require waivers. Now, he’s back on the roster & corresponding moves will follow in short order"

Tampa's being praised on twitter for the watson contract and how they maximized LTIR space which I didn't understand initially. The Watson move was to maximize Seabrook's cap hit not Vasilevskiy's. They sent Merela down so it was Watson, ABB and Fleury as the extras with Tomkins in and Vasilevskiy on IR. This left them was $2 cap hit left thus successfully maximizing whatever space they could of Seabrook's LTIR pool. Then they moved Vasilevskiy to LTIR and quickly recalled Merela back up. I guess since during the season they don't have to be right at the ceiling, when Vasilevskiy comes back they could just send Merela back down and have the +2$ left or if they really like Merela they send down two of ABB/Watson/Fleury

Thread: Maximize LTIR and picking up a goalie
<div class="quote"><div class="quote_t">Quoting: <b>LordStanlersCup</b></div><div>With Vasy on ltir they can have a 23 man roster until vasy comes back and then we would have to go back down to a 22 man roster unless like you said we waive bogo and 2 league min players replace him leaving about $12k in cap space left. Or they could just trade myers or maybe he gets claimed after they waived him.</div></div>

Best case scenario Myers claimed by tomorrow. Yea I think they can just keep moving guys up and down when they have the 23 man roster, Merela looked good I like his size and his net front prowess? Fill in some of the hole killorn left. Issue is when Vasy comes back but we don't have to be perfect to the ceiling at that point since its the middle of the year and enough guys have moved up and down till that point that we don't have to worry about waivers for a while

<div class="quote"><div class="quote_t">Quoting: <b>aadoyle</b></div><div>Got a question for yall. Would you give Willy 10m if you already had 3 other players in double digits (So making 10m+) or would you try and trade him/let him walk if he would not budge from his ask.</div></div>

I’d keep him if he were worth 10 mil I don’t think 40 goals is worth it like pasta had 60 and is making 11.5, there’s centres that make less and scored more like point and Thompson, he doesn’t play pk, he’s demoted to third line sometimes, his lines are usually below .5 in GF% with primarily offensive zone starts, the matthews line always gets the toughest match ups, it’s a case of putting a star player lower in the lineup to give him more breathing room but he takes it and runs with it and now wants to get paid like he was on the top line. Keefe/Tre are doing the right thing here putting him at center you want 10 mil go back check, be the first one in your own zone, his offensive output will dip cause it has to

Thread: This team is very beatable
<div class="quote"><div class="quote_t">Quoting: <b>AlTintin1122</b></div><div>Wouldn’t be shocked AT ALL if they missed</div></div>

They're banking on Eyissimont becoming the 2nd coming of Yanni Gourde and Jeannot to be the PF that replaces Killorn. As Killorn rose, Cirelli's production stagnated, so if Cirelli can take an offensive step here and gets chemistry with Jeannot then can maybe handle killorn's loss. On defense they tried to replace McDonaugh with Cole, now they have no one there so it'll be interesting to see what they do maybe Sergachev takes another step defensively he's the future of the team. Sheary is better than Colton imo he skates better and he can move up the lineup vs colton who looked off in the top 6. I think they're trading for DeSmith or something cause 0 chance they're starting on LTIR with left over cap they need to fill as much of it as possible at opening night.

Thread: I dont understand the Domi move
<div class="quote"><div class="quote_t">Quoting: <b>MitchJr</b></div><div>You’re actually on here defending Engvall &amp; Holl 🤯? Wondering if you’re actually a Leafs fan because - nothing personal against them - they were horrible.
Team is much better at start of this year imo, but as always - only thing that matters is playoffs and lots of time to figure that out</div></div>

I mean they did their jobs. Unless Keefe is a loon he basically threw Holl to the wolves cause one he was somewhat capable but two Brodie can’t handle it with the minutes he plays I guess. And Kampf wasn’t the dependable shutdown guy after Engvall left. They quickly patched it with O’Rielly but he’s not here anymore so I’m just concerned about what it would look like now when the teams cap strapped and no other options

Thread: I dont understand the Domi move
<div class="quote"><div class="quote_t">Quoting: <b>palhal</b></div><div>I don't know why you think Domi plays centre. Holmberg has shown he is capable.
If Leafs go with just even forwards. It might be Bertuzzi, Domi and Knies, jut three on the left side. Jarnkrok can go back on forth to LW and RW
Benoit isn't a capable NHLer. Don't see how the Leafs could risk losing Timmins, Gotta think he stays a Leaf .</div></div>

Holmberg did play well at 4C but it was a disaster in the one game he played 3C he was like -2 with a couple penalties then he got sent down a little afterwards. If they want him instead of Robertson or Gregor they can afford it. The thing about Timmons is that team can’t afford him they’d only have 11 forwards. Can you do emergency call ups if there’s no new injury like are they calling up guys on behalf of Murray at that point?
