[SnakeIdol]

a Motte, Glendening, and Mikey 4th line could be pretty good.

shoots the puck. might not be a fit.

 

[Rschmitz]

Sticking to our new mold of smallish energy guy for lower line

 

[DistantThunderRep]

Hopefully all is well with Archibald.

But...

I have been barking up this Motte tree for years...I am pleased with his signing.

 

[The Gongshow]

[JoVel]

This is the only thing I ever remember of Tyler Motte.

Quite a fitting song that they decided to play at the arena.

 

[DaBolts]

shoots the puck. might not be a fit.

He shoots before he passes it twice? WTH....

 

[TheDaysOf 04]

Peak Tyler Motte in the bubble against the defending champs

 

[Todd1a]

Yes great 4th line add, IMO!

LFG!!!

 

[Ducati Boy]

Upgrade on Archibald IMO. Liked him when he played against us.

 

[Outl4w]

We just got tougher to play against. He is a little ball of hate on the bottom line. I would hate to play against him Esymont and Glendenning as a hockey player. They would drive you crazy .

 

[Todd1a]

Can we still afford to sign Watson ?

 

[Felonious Python]

Can we still afford to sign Watson ?

Motte took Archibald's 800k, so we're in the same spot as before.

With a little bit of maneuvering, we should be able to sign Watson.

Elementary, my dear Watson.

Tampa is 73k over the cap with a 23 player roster as of now. If Watson earns a contract at league min, it would mean Tampa sends down one of Logan Brown or ABB, then rolls with 22. I'd guess the lines would look like:
Hagel-Point-Kuch
Stamkos-Cirelli-Sheary
Jeannot-Paul-Eyssimont
Motte-Glendening-Watson
Brown/ABB(unless ABB earns a.middle.6 spot, then Ace goes to the 4th line and they rotate Motte with one of Brown/Watson on the 4th line).

Hedman-Perbix
Serg-Cernak
De Haan-Raddysh
Bogo

Vasi
Johansson

 

[LTIR Trickery]

I wonder how long the leash with be for ABB this year. The guy can shoot but he just ends up invisible a lot of shifts and thats a quick way to play yourself out of this lineup.

 

[Outl4w]

Keep abb down. No one will claim him.
