If they are going to roll 4 lines, I don't mind playing some size with those two.

The era of carrying a forward who scores 3 goals a year is done though. The guy is a dinosaur

Baptiste and Erod should not be playing with Nolan
- jcragcrumple


Of course Nolan scores after u say that
How long till a certain someone comes on to tell us all how underrated Nolan is?

Probably worth spending a pick on then
Idk how high though?
3rd? Maybe 2nd round?

Not sure why Gusev never came over for Tampa
I think he was a later round pick,
so maybe he just wanted some assurances that at the time Tampa wouldn’t give
Ppl take for granted that these kids uproot everything they’ve ever known to come over to the US
Can’t be easy

- jdfitz77



Strictly numbers based he's produced (including his draft year) like a 1st round pick in most drafts so if you've got a pay a 2nd and 4th or something id definitely consider it if they had some assurance that he'd actually sign.

I don't know what Gusev's reasoning was and it is tough for them, but they did hold on to his rights for a little while so at some point he was probably good enough to at least make the Lightning out of camp.

Imagine all Latvian players being less talented versions or Zemgus Girgensons

That he’s just an average WR
I’ll what stats you’re looking at...
but he’s never done much at all in the NFL

He’s ok
But i don’t think it’s a big loss either

- jdfitz77

He was our best receiver last year. Low bar I know, but he made key catches down the field in 2-3 of our wins.

Lacking any deep threats, I’m not sure why you don’t re-sign him.

Special Teams don't matter on a night where the Yotes are 2 for 2 on the PP? Takers?

Last year was Gusev’s first really good season in the KHL
So i could definitely see a scenario where Tampa couldn’t guarantee him a roster spot previously
Especially with how good & deep they’ve been at forward

I guess it would at least be worth investigating, bc i highly doubt he’d sign with Vegas after what they pulled with Shipachyov

As far as the draft pick from Florida goes...
I’d onlybtrade for him if we could talk to his agent & get assurance he’d sign

Is that goalie still with Tampa?
Can’t remember his name...
(Gulvedikis? Something like that maybe?)
He was unreal in that game

I didn't say all that. Not even interested in discussing it across one game, just this period. I couldn't possibly consider anything that may disprove my presupposition.

Oh the heady days of Girgensons becoming 2010 Lucic and Grigorenko was the next Connolly

I’m cool if we re-sign him
Just don’t think it’s a big loss either

Obviously they think Benjamin will do well
Probably plan on drafting a guy or 2

We certainly do nee WR help

Rod Streater might be why you don't sign him, though I understand that citing Rod Streater is ridiculous

At least there was blind misguided hope. Nowadays I'm just hoping Cliff Pu can turn into the next Richard Park
