damn thats a young team. bolts future always suprises me, and we still have depth in the minors.

i think Drouin makes it big. remember that there was that about him being better than MacKinnon (maby not fair considering he handeled the step up to pro like a boss)

Yeah I think there's too much youth on that roster.

Drouin 3.225/Stamkos 7.5/ Johnson 2
Palat 2/Filppula 5/ Callahan 6
Killorn 1.5/ Namestnikov .925/ Kucherov .65
Brown 1/Thompson 1.6/ Panik 1

Nabokov 1.5
Total= 3.8
LTIR/BO= 4.775

Grand total= 58.585
Trade Purcell and buyout Malone.
Mine has some age to it!!

Here is what I would like to see if the numbers are right and Callahan resigns.

Palat Stamkos Johnson - if its not broke don't fix it
Killorn Filppula Callahan - I wonder how hurt Val was this playoff
Brown Drouin Kucherov - they made him a C in Halifax for a reason
Panik Thompson Crombeen
Connolly/Paquette - first call ups (Connolly potential trade with Purcell)

- Bolts might try to sign an older 3/4 line defensive sound winger
- Malone and Pyatt are gone, Kunyk to Syracuse
- I think Teddy and a prospect get traded for a Dman
- Will Vancouver trade one of their Dman, NJ or Edmonton all need goal scorers
- I hope Niskanen likes the sun

Hedman Niskanen
Carle NEW - this is the traded Dman
Gudas Brewer
Sustr Barberio - (Barberio potential trade with Purcell)

Montoya

Drouin center? How (frank)ing many more centers do we need? Stamkos, Filppula, Johnson, Killorn, Thompson and Kunyk! Why would you have a point whore LW in the center on the Third (checking) line?

Arty I am going on the fact that the Bolts had Halifax play Drouin all year at center, for some reason they want him at center. He even played there some last preseason with the Bolts. Do I agree no Im with you I want him at wing, I was just going with what I have seen the Bolts doing with him.

No way Johnson or palat is getting 2 million per year next year. 1.5 or 1.6 tops they don't have enough nhl games in yet for that high yet.

Come on Michael chime in... what would you like to see.. its fun to speculate.

Fine, we'll keep useless Purcell and stoner Malone then. We keep Callahan (29), add Niskanen (27) and Nabokov (39). What more should be added?

Suggestions for NEW...

NEW Goaltender: Montoya
NEW Defensemen: Niskanen, Franson, Shattenkirk (BoltProspects floated his name out today, though I'm not sure you could pry him out of STL)
NEW 1R: Connolly, Downie... I want someone with decent size there
NEW 4L/R: Don't care.

I'm not going near Nabokov. And as much as I'd love Niskanen, I think we get outbid quite easily.

I think Dallas is my west team! They play a good game!

That and I HATE the ducks!

Downie is UFA.

But that's just a suggestion, not likely a legitimate possibility. I really want someone with size on Stammer's wing if Drouin is going to play there.

You really think Kucherov and the likes will be back in Syracuse?

Were on a similar page for sure but I think Kucherov stays with the big club and Drouin is not on the top line. I agree with a new 3/4th line winger. I agree on two defenders... Shattenkirk would be great. I think we can land Niskanen. Going to be a fun offseason.

Having Downie only helps keeping Stammer here.

Just looked at Halifax's game... up 4-2 second period.

Jonathan Drouin - 1g 3a... he has put that team on his shoulders... involved in every goal so far... he will a stud, if MacKinnon can put up 60 points then Drouin can as well especially if he is on the Stammer line like everyone wants him to be. The Bolts have enough skill to complement his game next year.

I think Kucherov becomes trade bait, and I think Drouin has to play top six if he's going to be with the Lightning.

Downie is UFA.

I think it'd be one or the other re: Stewart & Downie. I hadn't thought of Stewart, but he'd be an interesting acquisition.

I don't think Brown can really be a fourth line guy.

We have the money for both Stewart and Downie (if Malone and Purcell go) and if Brown doesn't play there then where? Trade? Asham for the fourth?
