Confirmed Signing with Link: [TBL] Adam Erne re-sign with Tampa (1 year, 800k)

[WesMcCauley]

Tampa has to move $3,853,780 if my math is correct to afford karlsson at 6,5 million next season with 8 defensemen signed and 13 forwards signed right now.

nice

 

[Helistin]

Think he will Erne a regural roster spot next season?

It's pronounced Ernie

 

[CupsOverCash]

Oh nice. Didnt see this. Hope he gets some playing time this year.

 

[God King Fudge]

I think he'll be given every chance to earn a spot. With Kunitz gone and Callahan out to start the season, this is his time to finally cement himself in the bottom 6. He's got the frame and skillset for it. Just needs to stay healthy and put it all together. TB desperately needs a little bit of scoring from their 4th line.

 

[Toronto makebeleifs]

Always liked the kid. Imho under the right conditions he can be an excellent secondary scoring option. Tampa is so stacked with young players and good prospects, it's getting a bit silly

ya with callahan out hurt he will

 

[TeslaCoilFan]

Will be interesting to see how he does healthy. There's a few hungry Lightning prospects knocking on the NHL door so he'll have to fight for a roster spot like anyone else.

 

[Master P]

Damn Florida and their tax advantage.

 

[TML1967]

Wouldn't be surprised if a guy like this would be on his way to Ottawa in a Karlsson deal.
Young, decent upside and cheap.

Him and Callahan probably cancel out value wise (I.e. 6ish million for the 2 to play on your 3rd line as wingers isn't horrible)
Maybe erne + Callahan + 3rd/2nd to a third team for a 5th round pick?

Ahem.

"I don't think it's impossible," Yzerman said about adding another large contract. "But if you look at our commitments, if we were to bring on a [big contract], we'd have to make the money work so to speak."

Kucherov extension won't keep Lightning from adding another big contract

I think your sarcasm radar might be broken

I think your sarcasm radar might be broken

I think it's still important to get an actual quote from the man himself.

Since us Tampa fans are arrogant and full of shit and don't know what we're talking about.
