ya this may surprise other fans but not lightning fans if you read twitter the last few days

Not too surprised. Seems like a fit to me.

I think tampa signs him for 5.5 per year for six years nmc for 4 years.

Doubt it. He'd be playing the rags already if he'd sign for 5.5.

NMC/NTC should be earned not given.

Player plays 5 years with same team or 10 years in league to earn one.

Nikita Nikitin!

I really hope the sabres dont get him. He is not worth the money especially when we want to be bad next year. I rather have moulson because he wants to be hear, better scorer and could get him for almost half the price.

I'm pretty sure the Sabres are rebuilding, not getting burned again on over priced UFA's...

Gonna be a lot of money for 50-60 games a year.

Theyre still 18 mill under the cap floor. They have to sign someone...
