Oh no! We suck again!!
I'll miss the way you twirl your fork on every play. Thanks for the memories Drej. If you were any better you'd have been an all time Lightning great
@Stammertime91 I got a sick AF poetry game. Lemme know when it's time to collaborate
Btw the Devil fans who whined about this signing don't know what hockey is

They're still salty about that hit Kuch had on of their players from that payoff series years ago. lol
Gonna miss him.

They're salty about everything. I love dropping the "should've drafted Askarov" chestnut every chance I get because the day they picked Holtz, I came in before the pick wishing them well that they'd take the goalie. I was soundly booed and told Blackwell was fine as they took a winger
Kinda funny how shit turns out

Yeah I'm getting kinda bummed reading the Devils board about him. Feels like they don't know what they just got.
I get not loving 5 years for a 31 year old but Palat is the best glue guy in the league for my money.

Have faith in Serg, he only just turned 24. He's going to keep improving. Yes, I'm a fanboy but I really do believe it.

Having Namestnikov back should make Kuch happy. Pretty sure they were really close before he left.
10 years is a long time. Will go down as a Bolts legend. Best of luck on the next chapter Pally.

Financials aside, this really sucks. End of an era in Tampa with both Pally and Johnny gone. They set the wheel of success in motion back in 2013-14, so much fun to watch. Pally will always be a Bolt

Still remember him as 74. Remember him busting up the middle and sniping after getting a feed from MSL against the leafs? Good times
I’m about to an cry

Oh man.....
I need to know if there is any truth to what Seravelli is saying that Palat was willing to take the Paul deal to stay....
I mean he's probably a husk in years 6 and 7 but that gives us Palat at 3.1 million for what should be what is left of this Cup run. Upsetting

Yeah. That's f***ing absurd if that's true. 600k difference to end up signing vlad.

I wouldn't want Palat for 7 years. I love him to death but Jesus Christ. I am actually okay with this if it played out like that. Players need to stop thinking they can play to 38 as if there's no issues with it
We get him at 3 million for this cup window though, 3 million is nothing to get rid of if he falls off a cliff in a few years.

Yeah. I really hope Seravelli has this wrong, because if it's true and Palat was willing to stay at that price, what a blunder. If he wanted to stay that badly, they could have worked an ntc/m-ntc into it so he'd be here at least through the prime window of the next 3-4 years.
