Lightning Prospect and Minor League Signings

[Derek28]

If you're keeping track, the bolts organization has now added one of the top NCAA free agents (Odeen Tufto), one of the top European free agents (Ryfors),...

[Derek28]

The Lightning have made a few signings over the past couple weeks so I'm just going to throw them here in one thread.

Swedish forward Simon...

[Derek28]

Shit, apparently Goodrow is out indefinitely. Vasilevskiy is going to need to have the postseason of his life if we are going to repeat anything this...

[Derek28]

I wonder how much the bolts care about getting home ice tomorrow. I wouldn't be against them resting Point and Palat. Plus, I kind of hope that Walcott...

[Derek28]

Chris Johnston said on Sportsnet tonight that Hedman got injured from that weird collision in a Columbus game around a month ago and that it is something...

[Derek28]

I'll be more interested to see if the Rangers actually do something about it tomorrow. The league clearly has shown that they won't protect the star players...

[Derek28]

You have to be happy about the overall defensive effort, but the lack of scoring is really concerning. Expecting goals to come in bunches when a rusty...

[Derek28]

As expected, the Bucs went special teams heavy today. Their 4th round pick (WR - Jaelon Darden) has some pretty impressive highlights and has return ability....

[Derek28]

Here's an overview of where the Bucs roster stands right now:

QB (3): Brady, Trask, and Griffin. Maybe they bring back Gabbert to complete...

[Derek28]

Looks like Bolthed nailed the Hainsey pick, just a round earlier. I like the selection and versatility. Kind of feels like maybe he could step in the...

[Derek28]

I don't hate it. Trask is an Arians type of QB, and he can sit behind Brady for the next couple years and learn.

[Derek28]

I don't have an issue with the Tryon pick. At the very least, I think he will be solid at setting the edge in the run game right away and could give JPP...

[Derek28]

For the draft tonight I'm going with EDGE Azeez Ojulari from Georgia for the Bucs

[Derek28]

His NTC becomes modified after the 21-22 season where he has to submit a list of 23 teams he would be willing to accept a trade to.

It's...

[Derek28]

By my rough math, I think you can keep two of Palat, Gourde, or Cirelli after next season but not all three.

[Derek28]

Palat will be heading into free agency going into his age 31 season and if he's healthy I would put him at around 65+ points next year in a full season....

[Derek28]

I tend to agree about moving back. Teams value that 5th year option so I'm sure a couple teams will be calling to move up.

I'm interested...

[Derek28]

This may be a bit of a hot take, but I think Cernak has become our second best defenseman after Hedman. The fact that we have him signed for the next...

[Derek28]

All three of those guys play on the PP and PK, as did Barre-Boulet and Colton before their callups. That seems to be in the organizational philosophy...

[Derek28]

It looks like both Katchouk and Raddysh have picked up a step or two skating wise this season and it has made a huge difference. They look like the prospects...
