beekay414 Posted October 8, 2020 Author Share Posted October 8, 2020 Also, I'm so not sure where Boqvist fits at this point? Do we explore other LW options and let Boqvist stay with Timra for a while? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Killorn might not have a great contract, but he's been a good 5v5 player for the past 2-3 seasons. Most Lightning players also talk really well of his leadership, especially young guys. Add to that he's now a cup winner too. That's the type of vet you should get. Honestly if you had space on the RW, Toffoli would be an awesome add too. I know helped the Canucks alot and I think for your young C's he'd be terrific. I don't mind a adding killorn. Don't love the contract on this team, but not nearly as bad as tj and gourde lol Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I need him to adjust to NA Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Or are we also assuming we have signed turris? No, no assumptions. We really gonna bump Trav all the way to 4th line? We just not going to give Mikey the chance there? God, we have too many bottom 6 options right now. It's a cluster**** if there's no AHL to give these guys minutes. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Do we just keep him on the taxi squad in that case? Cuz we're in a real friggin' pickle with him if there's no AHL. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yeah, trav isn't going anywhere until deadline. He won't waive before that in my opinion. Mikey hasn't done anything to prove he's worth a spot yet, so I'm fine with him in ahl.

How often do you get the shot at a 40 point 24 year old winger for nothing but cash? That's a tough call. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I suppose it's not unreasonable that they keep Zacha / bratt / goose together given how well they played, but analytically, bratt / Nico/ palms was much better. Personally, I want bratt / Nico / goose at the top Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

beekay414 Posted October 8, 2020 Author Share Posted October 8, 2020 What does a Killorn trade look like for us? Just a straight dump where we get like a 4th to take him or is it going to be something like Killorn+2021 3rd for NYI's 2021 2nd? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Merkley only played like 3 games. I can't remember how many Sanderson played, but I feel like by the time he came up, Zacha goose and bratt were already a thing.

Maybe Merkley centered him on the 4th line or something random like that and those two were good together. I know that it was Anderson and someone but I can't remember.

Depends on how his list impacts suitors. The problem is finding one of those with money to pay him. Florida could be a good fit. Losing two wingers, have space, may not want to completely reboot Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
