I feel like that was from 1000 ways to die (TV show). Bad fake tits exploding (altitude or something) resulting in death.

Hey, hey...
65" SHDTV! ... and I sit close during the games, lol.

Sam is a solid player, his possession metrics are strong and he makes everyone better he plays with in that regard. I'd love to re-try him as a C WITH BETTER PLAYERS than had before...how could anyone succeed with those baboons he'd had as wingers... christ, they made Ellie look like an allstar. I mean, if folks want to give Risto his 5th chance with the player-whisperer in Krueger, why not Sam as a C for a bit with guys like Johansson and Vesey...see what they can do.

RW is a big big need for this team

Whoa now...
there were quite a few on here that would’ve been ok with us re-signing Pouliot (who hasn’t played an NHL game since here- heck, i don’t think he’s played anywhere since here)

You’re totally right though
Sam hasn’t really gotten much of a chance at center WITH DECENT WINGERS

And the last time he played Center was for like 12games with Pouliot & Seth freaking Griffith...
who had no business on an NHL roster

Housley’s single biggest screwup last year was not putting Sam back at Center imo

Andrei Vasilevskiy has signed an 8-year extension with the Tampa Bay Lightning. 8 year $9.5m per ($76m total).

Ouch! There goes TB!

We need to be rock solid on the entry level for UPL. (same as with a QB, build to win on their entry level deal). Hockey is more about getting a rock solid goalie for as cheap as possible.

I wonder if Yzerman would have done this if he were still running the show. There is no way he is worth that much more than replacement player.

The entire fraternity of NHL goaltenders owe Carey Price, Sergei Bobrovski, and now Andrei Vasilevskiy a debt of gratitude.

List of recent Stanley Cup Winners:

2019 : STL - Binnington ~ $650k salary
2018 : Washington - Holtby ~$6.1m salary
2017 : Pittsburgh - Murray ~$902k salary
2016 : Pittsburgh - Murray ~$902k salary
2015 : Blackhawks - Crawford ~$6m salary
2014 : Kings - Quick ~$5.8m salary
2013 : Blackhwaks - Crawford ~$2.66m salary
2012 : Kings - Quick ~$1.8m salary
2011 : Bruins - Thomas ~$5m salary
2010 : Blackhawks - Niemi ~$827l salary

So anything over $6 seems to be a large mistake.

Apparently, the Brawl started as people went berserk when a man in a clown suit entered the dining room.... A witness said heavy amounts of alcohol contributed to the brouhaha.

You can get away with it if your other impact players are on entry level or team friendly deals. Tampa Bay doesn't seem to be in that position.

I agree, Tampa has drafted well in the past, but I think they are almost done, due to amount of cap taken with high salaries.

They have $14m in cap space next year, not including Point (RFA this year), Sergachev (2020 RFA), Cernak (2020 RFA), Cirelli (2020 RFA). With none of the above signed, they have 7 forwards, 4 defencemen signed in 2020. So they have some work to do, for sure.
