I agree with you 150%! This was my thinking when I read about the T. Johnson signing. It could have been money savings. Well, Stevie Y is supposed to be some sort of god around here, I guess we will see!

I agree with Bolt. And this guy (T. Johnson) was not a player Danny liked before now. I guess if the Lightning have to have someone, he knows their system. Contract too long but like Bolt stated not as bad as Vinny's and it doesn't increase in pay over time. All in all, I think the Lightning...

I agree with Todd, I just don't see where the changes made take the Lightning straight to the Final. Yes, they got leadership from a player whose team won the Cup a few times whilst he was with them but bottom line is the Lightning still have a net-minder that's going to start his first season...

In the past 4 seasons, Stamkos has had season ending injuries in 2 of them. This is half, 50% or .500%. Would you be happy if the Lightning was a .500 club? Now I really doubt that either injury he wanted. I know he loves the sport of hockey and it's a no-brainer that he would rather play it...

Webster's Dictionary has been around for decades and is now called Merriam-Webster Dictionary. I have looked to see if they have ever been taken to court for wrongly defining a word, the search came up empty. I think it's safe to say, since their longevity and no false definition lawsuits, that...

I am pretty sure Drouin is even maturing this off-season. I am sure that whilst it may be difficult for Drouin at first, he will succeed. Some players really need to be pushed hard and they expect to be pushed hard. I believe Drouin is one of these players. I don't think he was very happy with...

I don't know Danny, everything I've read about him and the fact that the Rangers bought out his contract makes me believe that he will be a liability. A liability on a team that already allows way more than the league average SOG. And with a shaky at times first year starter net-minder that at...

I agree Danny, this addition disappoints me as well. Took the cheap way out, I am afraid. I don't think that the front office is really considering the fact that Vasi is not seasoned. The Lightning allow a lot of SOG in comparison to much of the NHL. In his first season as a starter, I don't see...

Cheers Danny, I look forward to seeing how you fair!

With a Real coach, Drouin will be fine. He has a Real coach up there, can be a bit hard nosed, very disciplined, demands a lot from his team. Just doesn't chomp on gum. Case closed.

Furthermore, and I know all of you will agree with my first statement, previous ownership/management messed up on keeping Vinny way past his time of departure by that crappy contract they signed him to. But now my new statement guys. This ownership/management is repeating what the previous did...

I'm happy they both got the invitation to come back to the Lightning, especially Sustr. Guys we need D-men. The Village idiot sign a prospect and now our defense woes vanish? WTF??? Now the village idiot is looking for more offense and you 2 guys buy right into that! WTF??? What was wrong with...

My prediction: the expansion team with this gay name will have a better team than the Lightning

Good extension!

Yes Danny, I remember the Lightning's expansion draft. There wasn't this kind of talent exposed back than. Luongo is also unprotected in Panther organization. They may be playoff bound from the start.

Yes Danny, this is a big surprise to me as well! Vegas would be stupid not to take him from the Lightning. Also looking around the league, I see Detroit did not protect Mrazek and Pittsburgh did not protect Fleury of course. That would be quite a net-minder pairing, do you think?

First, great to see you Bolt! I was worried about you and praying for your health! The point I was trying to make was why take Drouin over Seth in the first place. Todd understood me, I think. Seth turned out to be a pretty good top paired D-man. And will just keep getting better and better...

Now I see why Detroit let him leave their front office. Excellent player but that's where it ends.

To be honest, I would have rather seen Stamkos get lost than Drouin and all of you know I am not a Drouin fan. But the reality is, Drouin is a hell of a better puck handling, play making talent. Stamkos is just a sniper that gets injured too much. Grade F- to the village idiot, period.

The village idiot messed up again! :gaah: Could have had a top 4 d-man, instead he selected Drouin. Now he trades Drouin and gets nothing in return. :doh: What an ass! Why does he think that the Lightning goalie needs to be the team's entire defense. Lightning = goalie burn out. No matter how...

The Ducks are really deep in D-men. Will they have to give one up to Las Vegas expansion team with nothing in return? I think Drouin gets traded to the Ducks, the Lightning gain one of their top four D-men and a pick. Maybe even two picks, if Y is as good of a negotiator as you guys seem to...

If Y would have taken Seth Jones instead of Drouin, the Lightning would not be in this mess right now. Seth has blossomed into a really good D-Man and it's very clear to me why Columbus has extended his contract to 6 years worth 32.4 million. Y has done great things for the Lightning, Danny. But...

Danny, cheers brother! I love these predictions that you and Todd make! And I am very happy that you and your family had another great trip and experience in Florida! While D-men are very much needed, in my own opinion, I would be very surprised if Y and team trade talented offensive players for...

Toronto beat Pittsburgh tonight 5-3. Yes, it ends up that Toronto wanted the postseason more than the Lightning. They were able to beat a team with a great record (Guins), whereas the Lightning were not (Bruins). I honestly think it's a must needed rest for this tired, injured and worn out team...
