Why all the Okposo talk? He's a RW, and we need LW don't we???

He's the big name winger on the market.

And I believe you are also incorrect as the players pay a state tax for each individual game they play in another state, so while yes 42 home games in Tampa is better tax wise than 42 home games in Buffalo, the difference is not nearly as large as you are indicating.

Definitely not 3 1/2 million!

Wonder how McGinns UFA negotiations are going?

….may be that $4M offer doesnt sound so bad any more.

- seedy



Yes it does. Save the money and load up in a different year. There's no point in loading up this year. It isn't worth it.

That's a lot to read...if Weber retires at 37 like the article says would there cap recapture hit be any different if he retired as a Pred than as a Hab?
- Homer



A tad less but it's still 6.14 a year till 2026.

It does say if they waited 2 more years it gets worse.

IMO with all the money they already paid Weber added to they're on the hook for the bulk of Subban's salary and the cap recapture stuff. It could be a team killer for Nashville.

Offer sheet Kucherov there is your top line RWer...

Sign Vesey.

Nobody plays a different position...


Lightning have 6 RFA's to sign with $9.3 million in cap space.

NOBODY take on Bishop's contract and they are screwed

I go to the doctors and everything goes nuts!

I'm bittersweet about Stamkos... The fact that he signed for 8.5 is a joke! I get it but I don't know why he magically decided to take the deal now... I'm thrilled he's not in Toronto but definitely bummed it's not us

Murray better go into insane mode these next few days. I don't care what any of you Girgensons shippers say the team currently constructed is a bottom 10 team and will always be a bottom ten team. Murray better trade or sign any top six winger he can get. As long as it's not over 6.5 a year for the player we sign I don't care what it takes get it done.

I think Vesey walks now. I think he tests market and signs elsewhere if we end up with no Vesey and no Stamkos and (frank)ing Girgensons on the LW with Eichel Murray should be fired

No, we can not. He still has a year left on his deal. And even then he's a UFA.

Okposso keeps coming up for way more money. I'd rather forget about him.
