Tampa Bay Lightning
The new owners of the Lightning said they would be aggressive, and they have been. They have agreed to terms with former Pittsburgh Penguin Ryan Malone and have also picked up Brian Rolston from the Minnesota Wild for a conditional draft pick in 2009 or 2010.

I was hoping the WILD would give him some attention.
Starting to feel like we the team of 18,000 which I’m sick of are being used.
TEAM OF 18,000 campaign is getting old!
Watch the Wild will go get old players
at a discount that need help being convinced to play.
The WILD could be the cellar team in the Northwest next year?

Tampa Bay can't play defense. I mean maybe the great mullet can change that but I doubt it. I think second or third in their division is best they'll do which won't be good enough to make the playoffs. Washington is still my favorite for the southeast division as long as theodore plays well and Carolina is still a tough team to face. They may be getting closer to being better, but aren't playoff material yet.
The Wild did want him back, but he didn't want to play in Minnesota.EREmpireStrikesBack wrote:We didn't want him back anyway. He has become way too reliant on that slapper and it isn't going to get any better. I'd rather they give a young guy some time or spend that $ on someone with a little youth.

Come on Reg, do you really think I was talking from the standpoint of the Wild front office...?Reggie wrote:The Wild did want him back, but he didn't want to play in Minnesota.EREmpireStrikesBack wrote:We didn't want him back anyway.

And it wasn't so much about where he wanted to play, it was that he wanted to test the open market.

HE DIDN"T WANT TO PLAY FOR THE WILD..... Why wouldn't you want Rolston back?

[quote="Reggie"]4 Minnesota boys on the roster going into camp. Bochenski, Smith, Smaby, and Lundin.[/quote]
True,
but where has Lundin been this year, injured? since Tochet arrived they have really mixed it up at the blue line, I see more of Smaby then Lundin these days, which last year was the other way around.
