Both excellent signings for 3 years......Rich get Richer......

with some body’s moving out..... TB will need some forwards with some offence punch/skill at minimum AAv.....

This is great for the NHL. Not enough Boris’s (Borii?) in the league.

Interesting that Barre-Boulet/Raddysh/Katchouk all essentially agreed to identical contracts, with one-way deals starting in 2022-23. They must plan to introduce the latter two gradually into the lineup.

When Calgary overprices Tkachuk but you still wanna hear the announcers say the name.

Borisi

I like his game - 6’2”, 205 lbs, reasonably skilled, pretty good skater, good defensively, physical enough. Haven’t really seen him since his Soo/WJC days, but liked his game then, and I assume he’s similar now, but better. He put up 34 points in 29 AHL games last year, have to imagine that on basically any other team he would’ve been an NHLer. Tampa has taken a big hit to their depth, I expect him to make the team this year, and do well.

His upside isn’t overly high, but I think he’ll be a quality bottom 6er. If so, this is a nice contract for the Bolts, as usual.

Knowing Tampa these three will be the next triplets. God help the other teams.

 

[Curufinwe]

I assume this means they don’t plan on putting either of these guys on waivers.

Yep, the forward development has been unreal. For whatever reason I don’t think they’ve hit on a single defenseman though.

Between Raddysh, Katchouk, and ABB, I feel like at least one of them is going to majorly regret the term on these deals. Somebody will find some chemistry and pop.

I think this is like the early version of a bridge deal. After there contracts are up they are going to see above market value contracts because they took term in there early years. I havent looked into with Tampa cap will be like in 2/3 years but I think it means they will be losing Palat, Killorn and probably one of Stamkos/Mcdonagh but thats a problem for another offseason

Lol @ above market value in Tampa.

Look at our contract history with rfas and even ones that are becoming ufas for us but re-signs. Rare if any that went above market value in that last deal before ufa or even re-signing a ufa (Stamkos and McDonagh). They do amazing with contracts.

First thing I thought too... after this season of AHL/NHL, they will be full timers making peanuts for 2 years in Tampa and rival fans are gonna be annoyed as hell!!

Tampa is brilliant

 

[Price is Wright]

I thought Raddysh had NHL star potential in the OHL. The fact he's spent three years in the AHL doesn't worry me since Tampa is such a deep roster. Him and Boris both have size and I've heard nothing but good things in Syracuse about them. If both are playing top nine regular by the end of the year I won't be surprised. Heck they played together in the Soo as well!

 

[biturbo19]

My main hope for his career is still to be on the ice at the same time as Slater Koekkoek.

 

[Conbon]

I think this may be one of the guys that mitigates the loss of Tampa's 3rd line.

Katchouk surely must be the same name as Tkachuk, Tkaczuk?

I'm not sure. "uk/ouk" is ukrainian patronymic suffix, "tkach" mean weaver, so Tkachuk, Tkaczuk (also Tkachyov, Tkachenko) is the same name. But "katch" most likely is a nicname derived from "kaczka" (duck).

The transliteration could be the reason though. Some names look very different depending on when they were transliterated. Something I notice when picking up history books from forty years ago and don't immediately realize which politicians are discussed.
