Lightning Roster Transactions 2021 Season

[Derek28]

I think the key will come down to our defensive line vs the Chiefs offensive line. The Chiefs lost their starting LT tonight and already had a backup...

[Derek28]

Well that was ugly all around. Let's hope Cernak will only be a day to day thing because we have no right side defensive depth at all. That hit by Foligno...

[Derek28]

Borgman replaced Schenn on the active roster which should be a pretty good indication that he will play in the game tomorrow.

I would like...

[Derek28]

Yeah, I don't really feel like that game was as close as the score was. Hedman and Vasy made a goof on the first goal, but after that the bolts didn't...

[Derek28]

Looks like Carolina is having Covid problems now with five players affected. Tonight's game was postponed and it sounds like some of their future games...

[Derek28]

They finally adjusted to the Saints offense and stopped the dumb zone stuff they did the first two games. All of our corners are better at press man coverage...

[Derek28]

Only one even strength goal given up in the two games which is nice to see. I feel like Stephens has been the weak link of the forward group so far. He's...

[Derek28]

I know Cooper will end up putting Johnson back with Killorn and Cirelli on Friday, but that line looked so good tonight with Joseph as the other winger....

[Derek28]

Lightning signed forward Boo Nieves (had been in camp on PTO) to a one year, two-way deal. It's interesting to point out that his cap hit at the NHL level...

[Derek28]

Assuming he doesn't get claimed, Johnson would be called up following the first game of the season and the two paper transactions would be sent down....

[Derek28]

Yeah the opening night roster should of had Point instead of Johnson.

[Derek28]

I believe the total cap hit of the 20 man roster above would be $80,091,666. I would assume that means the Lightning will have a couple of paper transactions...

[Derek28]

Here is what the opening night roster should look like given the moves made today:

FWDS (12): Palat, Point, Stamkos, Killorn, Cirelli, Coleman,...

[Derek28]

The Lightning assigned Barre-Boulet, Colton, Day, Finley, Goncalves, Green, Huntington, Katchouk, Raddysh, and Semykin to Syracuse.

They...

[Derek28]

Guess it's hard to complain about a playoff win, but that was some sloppy football from the Bucs. I think Godwin dropped more passes today than the rest...

[Derek28]

Also some notes on the AHL side of things:

28 out of 31 teams decided to opt in including the Lightning's affiliate Syracuse with a planned...

[Derek28]

Here's the lines from today's first on ice session:

Palat - Point - Stamkos
Killorn - Cirelli- Johnson
Coleman - Gourde - Goodrow...

[Derek28]

I have been watching some college hockey games this season, and a few of the games have featured St. Cloud State and our defensive prospect Nick Perbix...

[Derek28]

Since Coburn, Gaunce and Masin are no longer under contract in the bolts organization, it pretty much makes Borgman our top left shot depth option. I...

[Derek28]

Defensive depth and the PP are my biggest concerns. We used nine defensemen in the playoffs this past season and three of those guys are no longer here...
