    Default First Look Tampa Lines

    Erik Erlendsson ‏@erlendssonTBO 39m
    Line rushes: Killorn-Stamkos-Purcell; Callahan-Filppula-Kucherov; Palat-Johnson-Malone; Brown-Thompson-Panik
    Just a heads up for all the people I'm sure a curious

    Killorn - Stamkos - Purcell
    Callahan - Filppula - Kucherov

    Are the lines anyone cares about, although this is downgrade for Palat.

    Just a guess at first PP based on these would be

    Killorn - Stamkos - Purcell - Hedman

    with the last spot going to one of Filppula/Callahan/Kucherov/Johnson and I would guess Filppula or Johnson

    Thanks for this. It's possible that Palat and Johnson make some music together on the 3rd line, but there will only be 2nd unit PP time available for these two.

    I like Killorn on the top line. That is my only thought or care!

    I think Callahan's gonna look good in a Lightning uni, love what Stevie Y is saying about him and that he is going to be aggressive in trying to re-sign him. I'll be watching the game tonight, but think Callahan's is going to mesh really well with Cooper's style and hope he develops some chemistry with Filppula.

    I also think we see Callahan playing in front of the net on either the PP1 or PP2 as Yzerman has been raving about him being a player you can use in all situations and on all special teams.

    Right from Yzerman: "He kills penalties, he's a great shot blocker, probably most well known for penalty killing, his defensive ability, shot-blocking ability. He's very good in front of the net on the power play"

    Callahan is looking for $39m over 6 years. Is Yzerman willing to pay that much to a guy who doesn't really score and can't really stay healthy either? I don't think he's worth $1.5m per more than Filppula.

    That's $6.5M per. I think Callahan might take $6.25M (or even $6M if the State income taxes are as friendly as I've heard). If Callahan goes to the open market, there will be a bidding war and he might get $7M per for 6 years. That's the nature of the bidness. All you need when you are UFA is one desperate team (I'm looking at you Edmonton...they paid Horcoff a ton based a lot on his intangibles...and potential).

    Callahan will be worth what he's worth. The cap is going up, so if you use what one guy signed for in previous years as a comparable, you will only guarantee that you won't be able to sign any of the big UFA's.
