Armia actually has a pretty good shot. He's just so slow that he doesn't have the occasion to use it that much. I actually like him more on the PP where he has a decent chance to use it, than say 5 on 5 in the top-9 when you need a goal.

No need for a goal on the pp (see last season).

You can have big players or fast players. You's gots to pick.

So to get rid of Drouin's contract we have to trade a 1st LD for a 1st LD?

Yes because Mete screams 1stD

Nah he doesn't scream he just plays like one.

Also, I can't believe Petry got a vote for the Norris last season

He had a great season but far from deserving a vote for the Norris.

That Point contract..... how does Tampa always manage to get sweet deals?

This election is depressing.

thats an understatement:

Stole this on FB, but that so how I feel:

j'ai beau vouloir, j'ai l'impression que pour moi mon vote au fédéral va se jouer entre un suçon au vomi, une sandwich à la cire d'oreille, un buck de morve ou une slush à la bile

Low taxes, telling them that they'll win a cup.

Yes well their latest playoff run was very convincing.

But that roster is gonna destroy everyone in the regular season yet again.

I wish teams would stop giving them guys like Cernak or Masin.

And Sergachev, LOL!

They had some good runs in the playoffs. If I'm a player and I want to win, Tampa is a good choice over most of the cities in the NHL.

Meh. Players right now are not running towards Anaheim or Arizona.

i can see them having a more uneven regular season this year, closer to the 100-105 point range. i'm not sure how motivated they'll be in the regular season. i think they'll follow the Caps model and win it when expectations have been lowered.

Overrated bum.

They need Hedman to not be a vegetable in the playoffs and they should be fine. He was so concussed I'm shocked they didn't get fined for playing him.

Teams usually have to pay the fine years after the event actually happened.

taxes are a way bigger draw for players than weather. Florida has no state tax and i believe California has the highest.

I was about to bring them up. Took them years to do it. But they had a good team for many years.

Now do Montreal.
