If Tort doesnt get anything going next year then its time for a change. TB has a nice core (St. Louis, Richards, etc) but the cast that was here when they won Stanley disappeared or retired. Potential is higher here then some NHL teams currently

You got my man melrose now... it's mullet time in TB... congrats on Stamkos and Barry.

Congrats on signing Vinny. He's one of my favorite players in the league, although I'm a little unsure about signing a 28 year old for 11 years. Still, assuming the money isn't too much then it could turn out to be a good deal, although I find it hard to imagine him being a high level player at the age of 39 when his contract runs out.

+1 on the Vinny signing.

[MAQ]

how's vinny working out for you guys?

[Buck You]

Viny needs to get his head out of his ass and be productive or he will be cut and sent to the same place Joe Alexander is, hell.

Vinny likes beets.

Bolts made a trade today, http://lightning.nhl.com/club/news.htm?id=634894



Good trade ?

Solid trade for both teams. Lindback wasn't going to get much playing time in Nashville with Rinne, so they got some draft picks back that they lost from trades earlier. Lindback has a pretty good shot at being a solid starting goalie.

Lightning select defenseman Slater Koekkoek with the 10th pick in tonight's draft.
