Thread: Tampa Bay Lightning Offseason
<div class="quote"><div class="quote_t">Quoting: <b>Zwui21</b></div><div>I like the trade.
Erne wont't get 2+M, Paquette will get around 1.6M IMO
If we would get PoolParty I doubt they'd sign him to a one year deal but most likely to a 2 years deal, only because we already have a ton of RFAs to re-sign in 2020.
Same goes for the other rookies, all these 1 year contracts don't make a lot of sense when most of these would be two ways contracts.

For the lineup, Gourde should be with Point and Kuch, as he's been the only guy to actually support them when on their line and not simply coast. Killorn has not to be on the top six, ever.
At the same time, by placing Johnson and Palat with Stammer we don't solve the problem we have: having a good winger playing with Stamkos. Both Johnson and Palat have been pretty bad this last couple seasons and they showed repeatedy to be useless to the Captain when in line together (mostly Johnson, Palat when on his game is useful for Stamkos). We all know that Stamkos needs a great wing on his line in order to play his best (MSL, Kuch are the exemples). So, unless we get a decent winger via trade to put on Stamkos line. What I would do is I'd put Volkov alongside Stamkos on the LW, and put Palat on the right. Test if there's chemistry + the rookie (who's a pretty good sniper) could learn a lot.
Third line with Killorn - Cirelli - Johnson is a pretty good third line (even though, again, I'd gladly trade one of Killer/Johnson away in order to get someone more compatible with Cirelli on the third.)
Also, Verhaeghe will have to go through waivers to play in the AHL next season (and, seen his outburst this past season I doubt he'd clear). So we either give him a 4th line spot or we sign him and then trade him away.
I mostly agree with the Dcore, but I'd still give one more year in the AHL to Foote.</div></div>

Thread: Tampa Bay Lightning Offseason
Thank you for the feedback. I signed Erne to a 1.075 deal not over 2 million. I gave lots of one year deals because I’m considering that most of them will accept the qualifying offer and that would be there deal. Puljujärvi I gave a one year deal because if he signs for 1.2 on a one way for two years and he does not produce the way you want him to then you are stuck with that cap and for next offseason you need every little bit of money you can get. The lines I did just for what I saw this year and I watched every single game. Obviously I am not the coach. I am glad you liked the trade though I want to be a GM when I grow up and this is really fun when I take the time and people like it. Also many experts are expecting Foote to make the jump this year as well. Verhaeghe will only have to clear waivers if he ever comes up to the NHL. If we start him out in the AHL and never bring him up then it is a different story. That is also another reason I signed him to a one year deal because there is no way he would want a multi year deal with his production for the crunch. I do agree with your lineup strategy as well. Thank you for the feedback. Again this is what I want to do when I grow up so thanks.
