Solid contract, look at players like John Marino, Mikey Anderson, Mattias Samuelsson, etc who've signed this type of deal, Chicago has all the cap space and once they start competing getting Vlasic at 4.6 will be huge

If this solves the Flyers' goaltending problem, then the amount is secondary. If this doesn't, then the amount is irrelevant.

I love Ace. But I don't wanna see him higher up the lineup. He's the spiritual successor to Yanni Gourde and if our depth allows him to be a force on the third line in all for it.

Agreed, I was going to mention earlier Hronek’s new deal is going to be pricey and would likely cause a cascade of trades just to accommodate all the big money on D.
If he was coming back in the deal it would mean Ottawa has entirely given up on what the direction of the team was and want to go a different direction.

Lightning 2023/24 Season Thread
Idk about everyone else, but the majority of the way we have played since turning the calendar to 2024, has left me not only satisfied, but very excited and optimistic. Our play post trade deadline has been night and day. This team absolutely has the potential to make a deep run.
With this post, I'm mainly addressing my optimism for next season. The growth of our new/young players, and our team as a whole this year, has been drastic in my eyes. While there is always room for upgrades at certain positions, I'm strictly going to address who we have.
As far as our forward group right now, I think it has become VERY lethal. Our versatility and chemistry have been off the charts.
Point and Kucherov are who they are, they will continue to score absurdly highly regardless of who plays with them. We have options though, that's no secret. Duclair, Hagel, Stamkos, Paul, Cirelli, Eyssimont, Chaffee.
Our bottom 9 is what I have gained a lot of confidence in. Duclair needs to stick around. He was not on my radar, but his arrival has been as good as you can possibly get. His speed. His willingness to not be afraid to pass and drop the puck + his chemistry with whoever he's playing with, is something that no one else on this team does. Not even Kucherov or Point has the mind to pass the puck the way he does. He uses every opportunity possible to create separation, make tic tac toes. He is just everything we didnt know we needed. We need to keep him around.
Stamkos needs to come back. While our entire fanbase obviously wants him to return, him staying is beneficial in countless ways, and far outweighs any negatives. If anyone would like to discuss him or his situation I'd be glad to but I'm not gonna get into it in this post.
Hagel with a career year although at times he's felt like he's making an invisible impact. Which is a good thing. He's quietly finding the score sheet, and his success isn't as highlighted as it was last year playing in the time like 90% of the year. If there's one thing he needs to improve IMO, it's his skating and his puck skills. If he can get better at those, it will go a long way to seeing him continue to grow.
Paul has greatly improved his consistency issues he had last seasons. Love Paul, nothing bad to say, he will continue to grow these next few seasons. He has seamlessly taken over for Killorn's role.
Eyssimont. Y'all know I'm a huge Stan for this kid. He's had a great year. I wish Cooper wouldn't have stonewalled him so much this year and given him more of a chance to produce offensively. Either way, he has excelled in the role he's been given. He's one of those guys who will execute in whatever role he's given.
Cirelli. His offensive output has increased this year and he hasn't been so much of a merchant. He's creating offense on his own and that's great for his development. Defense is defense and work ethic is work ethic. We all know what he brings in those fronts.
Glenny and Motte have been just terrific additions. We need to bring them back.
This post will be hella long so I'll try to tighten some things up.
Overall for our offense, our versatility has been our biggest asset. Like I mentioned earlier, nearly any guy can play 1st line. We have infinite combinations for our bottom 9 that give us different looks. I am not at all worried about our offensive group moving forward. So as long as we resign Stamkos, Duclair, Motte and Glendening. Chaffee too.
Defensively we have come a long way from our night in and night out frustrations the first 5 months of the season. This is our area of concern moving forward.
Hedman is still a #1. Sergachev will continue to transition into our #1. Cernak has played much better lately. He needs to continue to improve though. My biggest concern with him is his consistency. He needs to be an absolute rock on the back end. Raddysh has shouldered massive weight in Sergachev's absence. He continues to prove why he is a top 4 guy. I've always been a believer in Fluery. I think he deserves another chance next year. Lilliberg solid. Dumba I'm so so on. Haven't had a chance to pay too close attention to him so I won't comment on him just yet. I think Crozier needs to get a big look next year. Probably not ready for full time due to the personnel we have and how partly clogged we are. But he is ready to make a big step. Love that kid.
As far as Perbix is concerned I'm fine with moving on from him. The apathy he has shown this season is not promising. The one thing a young/er player should have is work ethic and drive. Commitment to focusing and growing every night. He doesn't have that in my eyes. Crozier, Fluery and Lilliberg deserve chances to grow over him IMO. He could be a decent trade chip to further upgrade the defense or make a sneaky lateral move. Either way I think his leash should be shortened.
I've rambled long enough so I'll wrap it up.

Yeah he is ready and willing to throw down with anyone at a moments notice. He tends to not think when he's amped up. Not to the point where it has become a complete liability obviously, but he usually disregards logic whenever tensions are high haha

new bedard linemate
<div class="quote"><div class="quote_t">Quoting: <b>imawesome</b></div><div>Maybe I haven't been watching enough of him but I would not give Necas an 8x8. He's never been a ppg or a 30 goal scorer before and it's not like he's insanely young either. 25 obviously is still young but it's not like he's 22. For an 8x8 to be worth it in my opinion he either needs to be a 1st line player or elite 2C on a championship level team</div></div>
8 million might be a tad rich, but it would be worth it imo, especially if he were to be moved to chicago (although highly unlikely). he can play center, he just doesn't, and with his offensive output he fits the high-end 2C for me if he were to play the middle. him being a 30 goal scorer is irrelevant imo, he isn't a shot-first player
if he plays with bedard, i think he easily gets 80+ points

Marner for Crosby who says no who has to add
<div class="quote"><div class="quote_t">Quoting: <b>draft_em_sign_em_trade_em</b></div><div>Leafs say no.
An aging second line center is easier to find than a still in his prime elite winger.
The Leafs already taken the NYI franchise center to play behind Matthews so taking Pit franchise center would give the Leafs the same result as JT had.</div></div>
While I agree the Leafs say no (and so does Crosby himself) JT at his absolute peak is still worse than 36 year old Crosby. The risk is eventually Crosby will have a fall-off. IMO that is more likely to happen in a change of scenery so moving to Toronto would probably increase that chance tenfold.
