Kind of like wearing a Sheriff badge when your a child. You think it actually means something while everyone else just laughs and says "how cute".The satisfaction is knowing your opinion means jack. Nada. Zero. Zilch.

For those criticizing Tampa, do you genuinely believe Kucherov is healthy enough to play and that Tampa is just holding him off until the playoffs to circumvent the cap?

Genuinely curious here, what other options do they have? I mean, assuming there was no one else on IR, how could they get him back early?For those criticizing Tampa, do you genuinely believe Kucherov is healthy enough to play and that Tampa is just holding him off until the playoffs to circumvent the cap?
This is not cheating, it's called being a good GM...
He's been practicing for weeks. He traveled with the team.sure is convenient how he shows up to practice the moment cap space clears. i personally think they are playing the system and Kuch has been able to play for quite some time now. we'll likely never know and suffer HF speculation for the remainder of the season and onward.
No, don't you get it? That's the genius of it all! The Lightning are going to LTIR Stamkos and Kucherov so they can play without both of them and use all that space to ... (checks notes, checks calendar) ... add no one to the team's Reserve List for the playoffs because the trade deadline has passed and anyone added now can't play for them in the playoffs!I thought the first post was so over-the-top that the entire basis for this thread was for sarcasm.
But, no, the OP seems to actually think the Lightning being without Kucherov and now Stamkos (yet again) is somehow the latest example of them cheating. And putting Stamkos on LTIR after the trade deadline, when doing so is pretty much of no use for them whatsoever, at that. It's too late to solve that McElhinney-sized backup goalie issue now, you know.
The CBA allows it...Stammer is hurt...complaining about a GM that uses every advantage allowed to him is done by fans of teams that have shytty GMs...I'm a Habs fan; I'd luv for our GM to be that smart...unfortunately, he's not...Actually it’s just called being lucky, if you don’t believe anything suspicious is going on here.
Yes.

Luck, shrewd GMing, whatever...it's all allowed...no sense being pissy at Tampa for taking advantage of the situation...It’s allowed within the rules, but it’s not exactly skillful.
The Lightning got lucky that they didn’t have to shed salary because of the Kucherov situation and they’re a good enough team to survive it.
Now they may get to add him a bit early and with how things have gone for them this season, I’m sure Stamkos will be ready to roll for the playoffs.

Not exactly the same situation Seguin was never on ltirThen can you explain why Seguin isn't back with Dallas yet, since you're so smart and all, Seguin resumed skating March 25th, he must've good to play a game then right Dallas is just holding him out for cap relief cause they're safe in a playoff position?
