The Tampa Bay Lightning are officially good enough!

BriseBois took Yzerman's plan and ran with it. He perfected the team by adding the final pieces on the bottom 6.

Getting Shattenkirk and Maroon for pennies on the dollar certainly helped.

Not much time for BriseBois to celebrate: he's got 5M in cap space and he needs way more than that to sign Cirelli, Sergachev and Cernak. Prime offer sheet territory.

He needs to convince Johnson and maybe Gourde/Palat to waive their no-trades.

Killorn might have to be jettisoned. If they need to pare down more, Coleman, Coburn, McElhinney, Paquette can chop another 8M or so.

I'm reading that Kucherov has a bum hip and may go on ye olde LTIR shelf, which would give the Bolts the very desperately needed cap space they need, but not at all in the way they'd like.

Indeed what happened: Kuch on LTIR, but it gave them room to extend Cirelli, Serg and Cernak.

Considering they just won the Cup like 3 months ago, should we maybe change the thread title? :lol:

All hail the cap masters: 8334$ away from the cap

Killed myself laughing at Kucherov wearing the shirt with the cup and nfl trophy. I so want to see Bettman wearing that shirt lol

Tampa put a pretty good dent in the Cup. :lol:

Also, Pat Maroon has a bigger beer belly than me. Absolute legend three-dimensional winner.

My problem with this is the increase in guys playing C level beer league seeing him and saying "See? I could play in the NHL! I just never got seen."

Maroon is quite possibly the worst skater in the NHL. I can kinda see why. But then again that guy has three Stanley Cup wins in a row and I have a beer gut too so who am I to talk.

I can't even blame beer for mine, so I can't say shit.

BriseBois works his magic again, dumping Tyler Johnson on Chicago and picking up Seabrook's permanent LTIR hit in the process.

This team lost their third line and now Johnson. They'll be fine, somehow.

Point signs an 8 year extension worth a small nation's GDP.

Deal hunting TBay gets creative with Bogosian, giving him three years at the near minimum. Bellemare too gets a nice mil.

They also bring Charles Hudon back from Switzerland. The exact type of undersized, clever player they've been known to fix.

Bellemare is one of the best guys to ever wear an Avs uniform. There's good reason why he's a fan fave everywhere he goes. Unfortunately he lost a step this year and that really cut into his on-ice effectiveness. His defensive numbers remained relatively good though.

Kucherov out, probably surgery. LTIR until the playoffs? Lather, rinse, repeat? As long as it's not lather, rinse, threepeat I'd be fine with it.
