Speculation: 2020-2021 General Lightning Discussion - Defending Champions Edition

[GoBoltz56]

Brandon Montour was one of the players I thought could be a deadline target for us a couple weeks back, just been made available according to Friedman.

A RHD that's pending UFA having a stinker of a season in Buffalo? Right up our alley, the Lightning will pick him up, every one will get upset and then he'll look like a stud, profit.

Jokes aside, I think it's a good low risk move, he puts pucks on net, Schenn sucks, Foote's young, nice to get some insurance on that side. There's very, very limited options at RHD this year.

That's all well and good, but where do you get the 3.8 million in cap space to fit him in?

This is HF, so this is where I confidently say Buffalo would have no problem taking TJ off our hands in return!

RistWatch is back on?

McIlhinney does not inspire confidence, my goodness he looks awful.

He played well tonight?

 

[Lightning1995]

I guess Coop is gonna roll with this top 9 until we lose, which I can understand. But Stammer TJ Killer doesn’t work. I really like Coleman with Point. When Cirelli gets back here’s what I’d like to see.

Palat Point Coleman
Killer Cirelli Stammer
Goodrow Guorde TJ
Maroon Colton Joseph

I thought he was looking incredibly shaky to that point and stand by that comment. That said, no doubt he stuck with it and saved our asses, props to him.

 

[Point21]

who was the player we were looking at trading for but the other team wanted Volkov and something else in return?

 

[These Are The Days]

Jesse Puljujarvi if memory serves me right. I'm glad we didn't. The only thing special about him is the fact he used to be a 4th overall pick

ahh yes poolparty, another Oilers bust they should have traded already.

From yesterday

 

[Five Alarm Fire]

Alex Stalock is on waivers, he's a tempting pickup to put in that backup role behind Vasi. It's probably too early to give up on McElhinney though, and he played well in his last start.

Trade him to Buffalo. They need a goalie.

He hasn't even played a game this season, is recovering from an injury and is barely an upgrade. McIlhenny has benn good in 2 of his 3 games, the one stinker is skewing his numbers. The only good thing about Stalock is he's signed for next season so he covers the expansion rules. We are probably going to resign McElhinney for next season to be expansion eligible.

 

[The Macho King]

When is the last time a Bolts player has had a hat trick? Feels like it's been awhile.

Verheage against Vancouver,last season? its the only one i remember from last season

 

[Sky04]

The last 3 were Cirelli, Verhaeghe and Killorn. All over a calender year ago and judging by those names the next one might be from a Maroon, Goodrow or Johnson.

lmao, thanks. I needed a good laugh

 

[Sky04]

He has more hat tricks in the last 5 years than anyone else on this team.

 

[LightningStrikes]

Vinny had 7 hat tricks, MSL 8, Stammer is at 9. Not so sure when he’s had his last one though.

(For reference OV has 27, 8th all time, insane!)

[copperlion]

Vasy for Vezina, Heddy for Norris, Stammer for Bill masterton

 

[Felonious Python]

Vasy for Vezina, Heddy for Norris, Stammer for Bill masterton

Stammer probably does have a good chance at the Masterton right now. He'll be the team's nominee at the very least.

Gonna look like non-Covid era Panthers games.
