Player Discussion: Conor Sheary

[Hoek]

We used to argue Point was equivalent/better than Aho because of his two way ability on top of his offensive production. Now that he's more offensively one sided I'm not sure it's a comparable any more.

The Capitals had been trying to resign Sheary last summer. Just probably not for the term and $$ that the Lightning offered. However, the Max Pacioretty signing didn't really work for them either. 1 year $2 million (Also, 4 goals, same as Sheary)

Peter Laviolette, his coach with the Capitals, is now coaching the Rangers. I would imagine the Lightning will be able to find someone to take him in a trade this summer.

Ask them for one puck and shake hands.

From the press conference it appears to me JBB has full intentions to bring him back

So he plans to compound his mistake of signing him by keeping him after his m-ntc kicks in, thereby coating the team needed cap space to sign/acquire players with actual value. That's a bold strategy...

He gave Jeannot almsot a 2 million dollar raise for two seasons. He seems doubling down on his bad moves in the normal.

Oh, no doubt that both players need to be moved this summer if the team is actually going to be able to sign actual help from the ufa market. Perbix can join them as well in order to give Tampa around 17.5 million to sign 7 guys after Stamkos, so ideally 10.5-11 for 7 guys. Four of those would be min level or close enough, so ~7.5 for three. Probably 3ish on a F, 3ish on a dman, and ~1.5 on an additional F. There won't be much, if any, space left, but some improvement would occur imo.

Stamkos, Gonglaves, Chaffee would be 3 forwards then sign a top 4 defeneseman and a budget defeneseman like cole.

If they move out Jeannot, Sheary and Perbix, they'll have 7F, 5D and 2G. Stamkos, Chaffee, Goncalves and Crozier take up 4 of the 8 spots, then a top 4 RD and a middle 6 F leaves 2 spots left at low level cap hits for 2 additional bottom 6/13th F types. Motte can probably be kept for cheap, and maybe someone like Sam Lafferty, if he doesn't re-sign in Vancouver. For D-men, it all depends on how much they want to allocate. If they spend more, then someone like DeMelo would be great if available, and if less then maybe Chatfield. Hedman, Serg amd Lilleberg on the left, DeMelo/Chatfield , Cernak, Raddysh on the right, with Crozier getting games in as well wouldn't be a bad blueline. There's no room for Duclair, but they could find another middle 6 wing with upside for the ~3 million they might have to spend, or just add a depth piece in the ~2 million range.
