Point has no dawg in him anymore (he has his Cups, money, and is likely less aggressive due to past injuries and energy conservation in order to try to produce offense for this sorry ass team). Stamkos is washed 5v5

If only such sanity would prevail. And, frankly, from the look on Stammer's face, he looks like he's had enough himself.
They should not flat out buy. If BriseBois wants to make shake up the dressing room hockey trades and replace guys on this roster with capable players, that is alright. But wasting picks for this soft, weak minded, no depth, terrible defensive team is not the move
Trade him to Carolina for Scott Morrow, Jackson Blake, and a 2nd

Mods are lame
If Hanifin has been paying attention, then he only wants to sign here for the weather.

Kucherov or prospect
The loses to Ottawa and the caps were embarrassing there not even good teams losing to both of them is terrible

The only thing with that is why trade away valuable assets if you can get him for free in the summer? That is assuming the reports are right that we are his desired destination. I'm also not crazy about going "all in" on this run when we're clearly not a favorite. If we were going to be a 50+ win team, then yeah do what you have to do to give this club another legit shot at a cup, but in this current state, that could be a big mistake that could hurt more than help this team's future.

Buy? What are we Duke and Duke cornering the market on frozen orange juice concentrate?
Anyone know what Stammer's contract says? Is it a full NMC or a limited one?

Our 3rd and 4th lines are absolutely completely worthless

Oh no! We suck again!!
You got a team that can barely manage 1 period of effort and a coaching staff that desperately wants to die on the hill of "death by structure" like its 2021.
This ain't good folks

It would have to be as a free agent. The Bolts don’t have an enough to pry him away via trade and I agree it wouldn’t make sense to do at the deadline.

The ESPN broadcast was horrible. Them talking about random shit while play was going on, suggesting Sergachev might be the best all around Lightning defenseman, and clearly not doing any research on the Lightning, it was horrible. Used to like Levy and Ferraro, but the ESPN/US hockey broadcast approach has been horrible.

Stammer has a full NMC.
If he's getting traded, I don't think the Lightning are winning the cup this season. Too much emotional damage.

Coop looked extremely uncomfortable. Like he knows his days are numbered. Never seen him look like that before...totally uncomfortable. Like he is out of answers. Doubt Stammer and Coop are here next yr. Time to turn the page. It happens. Part of life.
Edit: We love stammer but he's no longer the C
Really, because I don't recall a single post of yours any time recently calling for Coop to be fired. In fact, less than a week ago you were just fine with where this team was at and you were ripping anyone who even suggested that changes should be made other than to further invest assets and add. And now because you posted a video of Torts and wondered if Coop had that in him we're supposed to infer that you want him gone? Gimme a f**king break.

Oops, read your post wrong. Thought you were suggesting a trade for him at the deadline. Completely missed where you said ufa.

Lots of fingers to point -- powerplay going dry, but Vasi being outgoalied in 3 consecutive games is not what you want from a 9.5 million player. In fact, he's been the 2nd best goalie about 65% of the time this year.

In the third, it looked like Coop was being more animated. It's more a sign of the team not having that on the roster.
I mean outside of Kuch,Point( who also seems off), Hagel,Paul, and Sergachev everything should be on the table. I would like to keep Hedman . HE is slowing still puts up points just doesnt look as good defensively. It could also be he is paired with a rotation of fringe nhl/ahl defensemen Vasi seems off. We have rhe worst nhl defense I have seen in a while.

Eternally grateful TBL enforcers!
Not all was negative, Sheary gets a point and that will increase the interest of other teams on him. Time to negotiate the NTC and have a list of possibly deals and move that great player from this team! Even a 7th round or future considerations worth a trade!
Got rid of Maroon & Perry because they slowed down but it killed part of the dressing room, especially the vibe/accountability.
Hedman gets too much ice time, as a result of Sergachev being out and the overall defense being pretty piss poor.

They have a great pool of young players and promising prospects. That was something Yzerman did really well here stockpiling talent, but unlike here, they still haven't made the playoffs yet. I think they'll break through eventually, but there are some in Detroit that are growing impatient.
