Consulting and being the one pulling the strings are two different things though.

Maybe. If u want to dismiss it, fine. I wouldn’t do it unless Point is coming back.

Mitts is in his first year. Even Jack took a year ,,Sam ? . See what i'm getting at ? Those types are hard to get . To get a better one from another team will cost plenty.
Just my 5 cents .

He’s still there. I’m sure is consulted in decision making.

I thought he’s completely stepped aside in an effort to leave after this season

Point is in his 3rd year .
Mitts 1st . He needs to get 16G to equal him

I thought that was just a way for Stevie to still get paid, while the new GM is the one making the decisions now

PS.
I know the speculation is that Stevie Y is going to Detroit...
But Pegula should offer DOUBLE to get him to come here as Team President
Have him work with Botts to redo our scouting department & be part of the braintrust in building our Organization like he did in Tampa

Eichel, Point & Mitts down the middle for us would look AMAZING

It could work bc Point takes on plenty of tough defensive assignments

Yzerman doesn't strike me as a yes man.

Would he have to be here?

Maybe his proven track record is what Terry needs to back off & let a legit hockey guy run the show without interference

Mitts needs to step it up. and get some better line mates


58games 8G 11A 19PTS. Not equal to Points rookie season but still has is a possible .

He is really young .

If we are trading Ristolainen to Tampa it better be for Johnson +++++ as a minimum

I do think Mitts will still be good for us
Just can’t project him to be Point
Heck...
Jack isn’t even Point

Not a shot at Jack...
Point is just that damn good

If Risto gets traded then bring up Guhle and let him try to take over some of the puck moving, offensive minutes and deal with the comparable, probably more D issues for now until he gets more experience.

Tampa does have a lot of FWD depth. I like J.T. Miller as well. Yanni Gourde and Anthony Cirelli would be nice pieces as well.

And Point plays A LOT of minutes against other team’s top lines
He’s really good defensively

Most of Brayden’s point totals come from getting fed by Kucherov in the slot on the PP. Point is a good player but Id even argue Barzal is better. Point is not even close to being better then Jack. Could you imagine what Jack would be doing with Kucherov as his RW and being on that Lightning PP ?

I think we are over-valuing Risto because he is big, skates fast and can play with an edge. On a good team he is not a top pairing defenseman and it wouldn't surprise me if we got better by moving him. His metrics aren't great and never have been.

30 points on the pp.

Kucherov has 39
Stamkos has 31

Safe to say we know who's on the top pp unit together.
