Around the NHL - Congrats to the Tampa Bay Lightning!

[thewave]

We have a GM who's got no credibility...imagine going into the negotiation table with one of the best hockey players ever in Stevie Y? He probably just looks at you across the table and tells you straight...no fake glasses and a big smile...Stevie Y knows it takes a TEAM to win a championship, not a few money hungry individuals. We all saw what happened to Drouin and Stamkos...Stevie Y wouldn't budge on his offer to Stamkos and traded Drouin's a55 out of there for the now Cup champ Sergachev...I don't doubt Stevie Y would have shipped Marner out of Toronto if he was the GM and saw that kind of theatrics during negotiations and the price they were demanding.

Absolutely 100%. Agree with everything you just said.

Seems to be some negative press emerging about the Lightning's parade, and for good reason. Florida is such a shit show.

Anthony Stewart says the Sens are rebuilding on the fly.

I don't think he understands what that term means

Anthony Stewart makes Nick Kypreos look and sound intelligent.

Lol

Spectacular tweet, IMO.

Theres a lot of terms Anthony doesn’t understand, like there’s a limit to how much you should plug your brother and friends when you are undeserving in being promoted to prominent media positions. Also along, albeit slightly better than Colaiacovo , develop a vocabulary and stop laughing at your own jokes.

This Lightning fan is also clearly wearing a fake jersey he bought from China which is the bigger crime, lol.

Will say it here and as others said, Lou would have traded Nylander to get out of cap issues which would be a disaster for us

If anything that trade by Lou only proves how he overspends on older players and it costs him long term.

He's a disgrace as a GM.

Maybe he shouldn't have rushed to give Jean-Gabriel Pageau a 6 year $5 million AAV contract with a NTC in the first two years and a M-NTC in the final four years right after trading for him.

Yeah, it's a head scratcher for sure. He was probably their best LD defender, and he was coming off a breakout year

How does anyone in the Lou should have remained GM camp defend that? Pay Komarov, who's useless right now, 3M, have to trade a young top 4 LD who's breaking out for peanuts?

young ? Toews is turning 27

anyway , i find this Lou obsession entertaining , i'm guessing you believe he should have traded multiple 1st to try to dump much worse contracts in Ladd/Boychuck who he inherited and then traded the guys he traded the picks to keep the following season , lol

No, he shouldn't have signed Komarov in the first place. Babcock scratched him here in the playoffs when it was clear he was finished. There's so much dead money on the Isles' books.

They're wrong. Laine, Dubois, Mantha.

and almost all the dead money was left by the previous GM , but keep on with your LL obsession

gotta ask though , do you and others believe bashing Lou endlessly makes the Dubes light shine brighter ?

Wait a minute. Your giving Lou the benefit of the doubt for contracts that he inherited after taking over from Garth Snow, however Kyle Dubas doesn't get that same benefit of the doubt when he inherited the contracts of Patrick Marleau and Nikita Zaitsev that Lou gave them when he was working for the Leafs.
