Another day in the lightning off season just we you thought Steve yzerman was done he signs Brenden morrow. The lightning are scary good right now no doubt!
Great signing but do we have enough room for all these forwards?
Killorn-Stamkos-Drouin
Palat-Filppula-Callahan
Morrow-Johnson-Kucherov/Connolly
Brown-Boyle-Panik
I think the plan is put kucherov in the ahl with vladdy for next season. Kucherov is still a little raw needs to play 1st line mins with vladdy in the ahl.

Danny your lineup is ok except Kucherov will replace either Brown, Connolly, or Panik. Kuch will have a breakout season like Palat did last year.
yes that's not a bad idea at all put kucherov in the ahl with vladdy let them get playing time. then when injuries hit we got options to call them up.Kucherov is no doubt a talented player but I think he'll be in the minors as Todd said, he'll be play with Vladdy on the top line in Syracuse. Connolly, Panik and Brown would all have to clear waivers if they were sent down, that isn't the case with Kucherov. Plus his skillset/game doesn't replicate a 3rd or 4th line player, Connolly was a high skill player and still is but has developed into a nice two-way player, Brown is a gritty, speedy forward who is reliable and kills penalties and Panik is a speedy, power forward who gets in the fore-check and hits. Kucherov is arguably a better player than all 3 of those guys mentioned but his game isn't ideally suited to a bottom 6/4th line role so give him time in the minors to become a better and more complete player.
Kucherov signed a one-way contract. Connolly a two-way.I think the plan is put kucherov in the ahl with vladdy for next season. Kucherov is still a little raw needs to play 1st line mins with vladdy in the ahl.
Kucherov signed a one-way contract. Connolly a two-way.
Kucherov is still on his entry level deal so it's essentially a two-way contract and if he were to be sent down he wouldn't need to go through waivers. Connolly signed a two-way deal but because he's off his entry level deal, if he were to be sent down, he would have to be put on waivers.
Yes right on just for us to get under the cap sustr and kucherov will be sent down at least for a day. Those two cannot go to waivers! Connolly would have to go on waivers so would panik so there locks to make the team.
Well when they put on Ohlund on IR, won't we then being under the cap?
A healthy would have made the playoffs much more interesting for Tampa and he would be the biggest reason for a optimism. I just don't see Morrow contributing that much. His age and his record over the last few years say that he he'll add a goal here or there, but he's not going to put them over the top.
