John Gove: Last Trade Lightning Made With Each Team in the Metropolitan

Still time for TBL to eke into the PO's with their talent.

Question is cap issues next year & the expansion draft looming.
Do the Lightning fans want to be buyers or sellers?
Would u like to see either Tanev RHD or Sbisa LHD from us & for who?

Thx & GL on making the PO's👍

Tampa Bay acquired a 2015 second-round draft pick and a 2015 third-round draft pick from the Islanders in exchange for a 2015 first-round draft pick. The picks the Lightning acquired translated into Mitchell Stephens and Anthony Cirelli. With the first-round pick, the Islanders selected Anthony Beauvillier.

Wow that seems to be turning out quite great.

What would you want for Tanev? RHD is what the Bolts need. I think they are going to sell at the deadline to acquire pieces for next year and try to alleviate some cap no matter where they are in tue standings. Just my opinion wont be huge fire sale but pieces will be moving.

Jonathan Marchessault is the one that got away. Jonathan is having a pretty good year with more points than Johnson, Palat or Killorn.

The worst part of that one is that it doesn't come as a surprise to anyone who spent three minutes on the internet last season. He was poised for big things with more ice time. But, Paquette.

Tampa Bay Drouins... for sheer entertainment factor that kid is electric with the puck. Cooper just has to take the bad that comes with the good. He is much better defensively now, he's ok not good or great but he doesnt have to be a selke nominee when he can do the things he does offensively.

Drouin also seems to have found a good centerman that fits him in Point, I was not completely sold on point prior to his injury but I think that month out benefited him just like Stamkos benching in 08 where he got to watch and understand the game is not that fast. He is a much better player since the injury and one that will definitely be sticking around.

That's how it works with any skilled hockey player, Drouin, Stammer, Letang, Malkin, Kessel, etc. Let them play their game...
