Eternally grateful TBL enforcers!
I think nobody can defend the trade, top 3 of the worst in the TB history.
I still like Jeannot, I love that kind of players, I'm a fan of intimidation, hits and fights in the game. I know I have to deal with this new "figure skating hockey" and the new fans against the enforcers but I still think is place for it!

I was not happy when the trade happened, still not happy about it but it is water under the bridge. He’s gonna be here another year then probably sign a 750k contract in Toronto to remind us every game we play against them.

I too don’t like the trade but I like the player. The guy has been battling injuries most of his time here - very unfortunate. I still think he adds something this team needed and needs. Hope he gets cleared soon.

Agreed. For me there was a big hope that we would get Jeannot back to being a 20 goal scorer, but that obviously hasn't happened. That probably will never happen again. We brought in Hagel and he has excelled here offensively. Even Nick Paul is statistically producing better with the Lightning than he did in Ottawa. If Jeannot could get on the score sheet at a higher rate, maybe that would change some feelings - like you said, not about the trade, but about the player. Because having even just a 15 goal guy that is also top 5 in hits, and an intimidating enforcer, is a nice player to have in your lineup.

i think jeannot is here to replace maroon, and he has. he maroons better than maroon. but yeah, he cost us a lot.
All our bottom 6 wingers do when you have Motte and Glendening as your 3 and 4C. Glendening is a good 4C but the lack of an even mediocre 3C is killing the bottom 6. BriseBois needs to find a 3C because the 3rd line is going to be unplayable if he doesn't.

Plz stop pucks
and that in itself is ridiculous, because he might actually hit a career high in goals here this season, yet everything else is a bit of a black hole.
We have the 3rd line center already Cirelli
We need a top 6 forward to move him down. Ideally we need top 6 forwards for next year to move down and him.and paul.

I've been trying to find a replay of it for a while to no avail. At the time Coop said it was a significant injury.

I meant the original one against Frédéric when he got hit in the back. He just disappeared the other night so I figured if it was a back injury, it flaired up again and thats why they kept him out.

Cooper wants to play Cirelli 18-20 a night. Unless we have 5 penalties a game there's no way for him to get those minutes as a 3C, so we are stuck with him as the 2C. We need an offensive 3C who can get the wingers going and the 2nd PP. Someone to play 12-15 and can sit the last 6-8 min in a close game.

Thomas Novak from Nashville is a good target. He'd still be an rfa entering his next deal as well.
So this offensive minded 3C, who are his wingers?
Ace-#3C-Jeannot?
4th liner-Glendening-Motte?
If we moved Paul to 3C then we'd need a top 6 winger. Celery to 3C doesn't seem plausable, finding a 2C would get too expensive.
They're going to want way too much for him as he's young and a key player for them. I was thinking more a Granlund in San Jose, unfortunately he has another year after this at 5M which is a problem. San Jose can't really retain because they are already on Karlsson and Burns so won't won't to take that last spot on someone who isn't coming off the books. Could get a 3rd team involved but that will cost a lot for the retention, Granlund at his current price probably costs only a 3rd. Adding Sheary doesn't make sense because the point of getting Granlund is to unlock Sheary. We could always acquire him now and try to dump him in the summer but that will most likely cost more assets.
Jeannot - Granlund - Sheary
Essymoint - Glendening - Motte/Watson
Send down the kids to play more in Syracuse. Granlund hopefully gets Jeannot and Sheary going and helps the 2nd PP.
Paul should be the 3C but Cooper has fallen in love with him like he has Cirelli and wants him in the top 6. We could look for someone like Zucker from Arizona for something like a 3rd + 5th or maybe two 3rds if we need to. If he works could possibly sign a cheap 1 year deal to stick around.
Zucker would be 2LW and Paul goes to 3C.
I don't know if I have enough faith left in Sheary to think a real 3c is going to fix him, but considering our options it's worth a shot. Need a guy on a 1 year deal though unless he's cheap cheap cheap

Novak won't be cheap, but he fits well as a 3C for them. As an rfa, they'd have some team control and perhaps his next contract would be something they could manage. Granlund as you said would cost extra because of double retention needed. Other options, both with and without term, could be Laughton, Dowd, Roslovic, even I guess Gourde (although with the retention needed for an extra year he would also be pricier than some).
