Because it won't be. Look at the last 2 1Cs to be traded in their prime, Thornton and Seguin. Those deals are dogpoop. There's a reason franchise players aren't dealt in their prime.

Well I know that, never get a player of his caliber, but hopefully the sum of those parts help you.

Seguin was only 21 and not on his elite level when moved and once moved became a ppg player

Two cheap shots already too. But I'm reliably told they don't happen when you have tough guys on your team.

Congrats on the 2nd place tie.

I'm surprised you can stomach a game like this.

No tummy problems?

You and your narrative busting facts...
No place here.

Love all the cross slot setups.
Fun game so far.
Bolts missing some wide open chances
Monte playing well...

I agree Fvck Ralph...worst than Rolston.

Montour has looked great. He and Hall are shaking off Ralph stank nicely.

The game is great, I can do without the bullpoop boarding though.

Yep

Huberdeau is incredible.

What a play

Just watching the panters-lightning game.


Anyone else think that playoff hockey is amazing?

Screw the regular season.


But does anyone think that the lame ass Sabres belong in the same conversation as a playoff hockey team? Purse swinging fairies the whole lot.

Sabres would get trucked after one big hit in the first period.

Eichel or no Eichel.

Yes, the problem is they didn't have enough knuckle draggers. This kind of thinking is what kept risto around all these years. Get more good hockey players.

Agreed, he is outstanding.

Was thinking the same thing...their soft cuddly roster would fold in these games.
Those who don't think so are very misguided.

Kucherov has 3 points.

Huberdeau has 2.

Barkov has a goal.

Point has a goal.

A bunch of face punchers have given us some 4 on 4 hockey though.

Great play by Bennett there to belt Coleman in the game and give the Lightning a goal

So is Kuch

Lightning have 4 goals exclusively from special teams.
