These Are The Days
Oh no! We suck again!!
He and Stamkos are either magic or cancerous together. We can't afford to ride such a streaky tandem anymore.
Nope, break them up. Forever. Except on the PPHe and Stamkos are either magic or cancerous together. We can't afford to ride such a streaky tandem anymore.
Yeah it was definitely worth a shot.I don't get why we didn't see TKO one time this year, especially when the team obviously needed a spark. That might be the best ES line in the last 5 years (top 5 for sure), and we didn't see them a single time.

Agreed.Biggest disappointment this playoff
issue is kucherov is by far our best forward on the team we have to keep him Brayden Point is now the second best forward on the teamI own a Kuch jersey and it pains me to say this but if Stevie Y gets a good trade offer for Kuch, then I pull the trigger. Kuch really regressed on the defensive side this year and in today's NHL there is no way I give him a max deal for simply being a one way player! If Kuch can bring back an impact scoring power forward (or at least the potential to be one) then I am inclined to make the trade. The Bolts have to get bigger and stronger otherwise they will not get past the Pens and Capitals in the conference finals. And don't look now but the Panthers with there size is going to be the next road block in our division!

agree kucherov is our franchise and stamkos is not even our 2nd best forward point isDrugs are bad.........
Sorry to be a dick about it, but yeah. Kucherov is our Franchise forward (Not Stamkos.) Unless were getting Mcdavid or Matthews Kucherov shouldn't be going anywhere.
I think Stamkos and Kuch need to separate. I would put Kuch and Point together. Stamkos needs MSL to come out of retirement lol.
What about putting Point with Stamkos?This. I wouldn't even put Point and Kuch together, because it puts all our creative eggs in one basket. But Kucherov and Stamkos developed a lot of bad habits by constantly looking for each other rather than going hard to the net. Stamkos seemed to break out of it in Games 1-3 vs. Washington (and even a little in Game 4), but then disappeared again.
I really believe we have enough talent to keep Point, Kucherov, and Stamkos on three separate lines. Stamkos will need some kind of playmaker/puck-handler, which I guess is an argument for keeping Miller around.
What about putting Point with Stamkos?
This would be ideal.Wouldn't mind it. But it seems like we're not gonna put Stamkos on the wing long-term, and I wouldn't want to put Point on the wing.
But I mean:
Gourde-Point-Stamkos
Palat-Johnson-Kucherov
If TKO could even be a fraction of what they used to be, that's deadly.
Or:
Palat - (Johnson) - Kucherov
Killorn - Point - Gourde
(Miller) - Stamkos - Cirelli/Joseph
*(if they're still here)
I really think our downfall was how slow our defense was. They looked like they were in mud. Every time the caps dumped it in it felt like our guys just accepted the fact that they weren't getting to the puck first.
He stays but for sure he is going to get paid 9-10 per year from usDo you stink he'll stay with us or go to Toronto Vegas maybe buFFALO ? Are pinaeppels better in here or Florida city .
