Player Discussion: Alex Killorn
- Thread starter BOS77
- Start date
I'll take that bet. I can guarantee you that on the 1st day a free agency Sergachev is signing in Montreal for 8.4M, Cirelli in Winnipeg for 6.3M and Cernak in Colorado for 4.2M.

TBL: TEAM OF THE CENTURY
After the last couple seasons, I'm going to say Killorn longevity and game will be better suited than keeping Johnson or Palat. Johnson has been mediocre all season and Palat looked like his old self for the most part, but both have bigger cons than Killorn. Killorn's running joke of consistency is actually what might keep him a bolt longer than the other two.
Here is to hopi the Lightning are able to create enough cap room and find players to waive their NTC in order to keep all three RFAs. All are very important.

Killer with the TB Masterton nomination.
Bouwmeester, Lindblom, and Bobby Ryan will probably be the 3 finalists I'd think.

He's been the best forward on his line and is just over 0.5ppg this playoffs. I don't think he's been out of this world but he's contributed his share. He's got goofy style of skating and falls down a lot but he also finds himself in the right areas and gets a lot of looks. Johnson is kinda lost in the cycle and Cirelli will just chip it, lose the battle or fumble a pass.
It's all about the NTC. Was never about his level of play. Killorn's the guy to go because it's his turn to go.

Killer>Cirelli>TJ these playoffs imo. We need to get TJ to waive and trade him this offseason.
LOL, Cirelli has been the worst of those three by miles and miles. To his credit, he's scored two huge goals. But shift for shift, he's been a black hole.

Sadly no Playoff Killorn this year (Yet?) I was looking forward to it but he's been quiet. he's also taken way too many dumb penalties.

He's hasn't had a monster playoff run in over 5 years, just goes to show how guys can live off reputation. JT Miller has outproduced Killorn in every playoff run the last 3 years, one has a "playoff choker" label and one is a "playoff monster"
It's not like he ever took over games in the playoffs. His numbers just bumped up slightly from the usual 0.5 ppg, and his goal-scoring went up a bit, whereas most players see their numbers decline fairly drastically. That's how he got the playoff producer label, which I think still applies, because his numbers haven't declined despite it now being the playoffs -- well, I mean, they haven't declined from regular Killorn numbers. This regular season is very likely to be an outlier.
He scores like a 20+ goal-scorer in the playoffs, whereas, in the regular season, he's a 15-20 guy. So I think the playoff producer label remains accurate. Nobody ever claimed he turned into a superstar.

Hearing lots of noise, obviously, about reduced spending this offseason across the league.
Hope someone has room for Killer, unfortunately he’s gotta go. I doubt there is any significant return forthcoming given the financial circumstances.

All-situation player and his work in the slot on the PP is underrated. He's fine.
Potentially his last goal as a Bolt. And it was a glorious one.
