GDT: Lightning at Panthers v1.2

[Prominence Problem]

Game time 7pm EST

So the last two battles are between Stillman/Brown and Hunt/Totinato/OT. I'd expect all the cuts would be made after the game, then have Saturday for a full team preseason finale game.​

I'm guessing it'll be streamed on the Lightning or the Panthers website, or both.
Anyway, hopefully everyone stays healthy, and the team gets a little more adjusted to the system.

So, we're keeping one of Stillman or Brown and how many of the 3 forwards? 1 or 2?

I like both Stillman and Brown but I wouldn’t mind Stillman getting one more year in the A. It can’t hurt. Or they just replace Pysyk with him.

One of each of those two groups mentioned above.

Basically the competition for 7th defenseman and 13th forward.

Malgin playing with Barkov and Dadonov.
Might get lucky with those 2 dragging his corpse around and make the team.

 

[EnforceTheLaus]

Apart from Malgin subbing for Hubey, this looks like a final roster

Love it if true. Tippett can swap if he’s not ready but we have depth for DAYSSSSSS

Please tell me Hunt can go down without waivers

 

[GrumpyKelly]

Please tell me Hunt can go down without waivers

nope

 

[Boothinator]

I think Stillman got a good shot at being No 6 next to Weegar

 

[TheImpatientPanther]

Please tell me Hunt can go down without waivers

No he has to pass through. Hes played 3 years of pro hockey already.
Only Tippett and Monty are still exempt

 

[Chaos2k7]

Tippett will go down ala Borgstrom and play a minimum of 40 AHL games, unless injuries. IMO

Also think Q will keep Hunt.

 

[Gentle Man]

Hmm.

No Pysyk again....

 

[GrumpyKelly]

Hmm.

No Pysyk again....

Edmonton needs a RD pretty desperately.

Should've held on to that Petrovic character.

Who would want that coach killer.

Poor Cassidy

Is there a cap space issue if we carry 23 players? I don't understand why we would risk losing Hunt to waivers when we can just keep him and carry 23 players?

 

[DrMom9900]

Dude, I will be so happy if we let Pysyk go. I have a loaf of Wonderbread in my pantry more exciting than him.

I hope not. I would be highly upset if we lose Hunt to waivers.

Seems pretty clear to me that we send down Toninato (exempt) and Stillman(exempt) or Brown (don't think he'll get claimed) and carry 23 players. 2 extra forwards and 1 extra D.

Apparently the plan is to carry 22, though...so I'm not sure how this will play out.

Then again, if Greco clears waivers, I don't think Hunt would get claimed, but who knows. Hunt has more clout at the NHL level than Greco.

Well, elephant in the room. Send down Malgin.

 

[Chaos2k7]

Malgin needs to pass waivers too and has a much longer NHL resume than either of those guys.

 

[pantherbot]

Wonder if anyone would claim pysyk on waivers or would we have to give up an asset? I have no problems with him as a bottom pair dman, just his salary is too high for our cap.
