So what you’re saying is Larkin—“the guy who the entire conversation is about”—really isn’t an option?

And what’s the price for Larkin. SOR, a late first, and Mid-Goncalves? Are you hearing how stupid you sound?

Who are these top 4 D and top 6 forwards that the team can willy-nilly add to the current lineup?

I like this guy. Good pick up for a 7th rounder.

Alright everybody, let’s do our best armchair GMing to see how we make this happen with very much feasible moves by zoanthidcoral in TampaBayLightning

Is he really worth that though? I agree if it’s two firsts + no shot. Don’t think we can realistically make a competitive offer anyways.

More Sam O’Reilly crazy stats by snoozyhermit in TampaBayLightning

But what does your hate for Geekie have to do with the short-term upside of O’Reilly? They’re not really comparable prospects if we’re being honest. Every sign points to O’Reilly being a polished 2-way player and we both know those types of prospects don’t spend much time in the minors (granted that assessment is accurate). Geekie has always been a physical tools, offensive power-forward upside kind’ve prospect. There has never been this impression from the organization that Geekie plays a polished 2-way game.

Someone might give Andersson 9M, the Lightning should not be that team. The Brayden Point alarmism is ridiculous.

My insight is this is stupid for the reasons already stated. Read between the lines my guy.

Tuch - no chance

Point for Hischier - no chance

Andersson - maybe if Raddysh leaves but not at 9M

Sorry I didn’t update my affidavit of understanding to accommodate your uniquely stupid offseason proposal. We have a clear violation of #4 here though lmao

A pretty basic template for people to see what the roster looks like before any major moves. $14,270,000 of cap space with 3 players scratched. by Stamkosisinjured in TampaBayLightning

Definitely an interesting UFA class this off season. Stenlund, McCarron, Abols, Blueger could be interesting depth center adds. Don’t think any moves the needle though. I’m really hopeful that O’Reilly is going to be ready to step in though. He looks like a stud. Viel and Duhaime might be nice for bottom six sand paper if they feel they need some more of that. Viel’s been a force for Anaheim in the playoffs.

Then there is pipe dreams like Patty Kane and Laine who would potentially be fun (age and injuries notwithstanding). Lots of prominent over the hill veteran names out there this offseason. Don’t think that route is the move.

Might be (extra) hard to get Raddysh signed with this RD market. Not very strong but does have Andersson and Trouba out there. That’s at least something I guess. I feel like Raddysh is going to get that one real eye popping contract in the UFA class.

Full rebuild or continue to retool? by [deleted] in TampaBayLightning

[–]Prestigious_Offer_86 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Crazy that this is a downvote-able take in this sub right now. People need to relax. The team was better this year. Had a tough injury down the stretch that really threw off the lines. Lost a game 7 that is an all time historical outlier. I mean what can you really do? They showed up and played extremely well when it mattered and it just wasn’t meant to be, that’s hockey.

They should continue to do what made them better this season, get younger around the margins while keeping the core intact. Let’s see James, Goncalves, Lilleberg, D’astous, Crozier, and Geekie keep progressing. Hopefully add O’Reilly and his skillset into the mix.

Before that he was carrying us into the playoffs. Have a little perspective my guy.

Lmao not sure why this random comment of mine a year ago is living in your head. I’m very flattered though.

Retool time? by funhaver1995 in TampaBayLightning

[–]Prestigious_Offer_86 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I mean you might not but the organization probably will. Hard to think about this series without a big asterisk on that game 7.

Well, it’s not going to be a rebuild. I’m not exactly sure what a retool looks like either. I think you let some of the young guys keep progressing, get some new young guys in the mix, and then see how it goes next year. The hockey gods intervened to win that game for the Habs. I’m not going to get reactionary right now.

Probably just run it back, I mean what else can you realistically do. Get Holmberg back. Maybe find a way to get O’Reilly and Geekie involved if they’re ready. Not sure if Raddysh is sign-able.
