    Would you insert Stamkos into the lineup if he can go and potentially ruin what got the team to the Finals?

    Without a doubt. Both Cirelli and Point are banged up and hurting. Any offense they can get, he'll take it.

    true, I guess my only concern would be how rusty he might be and reintegrating but he is a talent nonetheless.

    That, sir, is a no brainer. The emotional / psychological boost of getting your captain back is enough to power a team through a tough, close game.

    If he were a fringe player I would say exercise caution,.... but he’s one of the better players in the league, you absolutely play him if you can.

    Ask him if he thinks he can go, and if he wants to go. If the answer's yes, evaluate at some sort of morning skate.

    Tampa have limped into the finals. A healthy and energized Stamkos would be a huge asset imo. If they lose, it wouldn't be because of him. Cooper knows he's got a good thing going and will make sure Stamkos helps it instead of messing it up.

    This. It's not a fringe player or a star player that is known for being a selfish donkey. This is the team's captain. If I were a member of the Lightning I would feel encouraged that we are getting our team captain back.

    Depends on actually how healthy and what the injury is.

    If he can take clappers and run a PP, I'd have him. But it's all dependent on the injury and if he's actually healthy.

    If Stamkos wants in, and docs say he's able to play, I'm exercising no caution and playing him.

    With utmost respect, I didn't ask if you were a player, I asked if you were Coop.

    Yeah but what I'm saying is that Cooper has to consider how Stamkos returning would impact his players, which is why I made reference to how I would feel if I were a player on the team watching my captain return.

    On the surface, yeah - Stamkos would be a big asset to TB.
    IF they were struggling... I think inserting him is the lift the team could use... same as pulling a goalie.
    It's a fresh look.
    IF TB gets down a game (2-1) or (3-2), I think we'll see him.


    But...
    But...
    TB has also consistently been rolling with 11 forwards & 7 defense.
    All 11 forwards have pretty much played EVERY GAME.
    The only guys that missed were Killorn, Point (injury).

    So... if Stamkos goes in, it means that either:
    i) The poorest forward comes out. Paquette is least TOI, but he's great on the kill and the dot. Maroon is grit & netfront presence. Or Tyler Johnson, who can put the puck in the net.
    ii) The other option is to roll back to 6D... and TB has been playing very well for a few years now rolling 7D. That also creates 4 lines of forwards... and TB is used to rolling 3 lines, with the +2 dedicated towards PK and special cases.


    In other words... TB is a strange-case.
    Their 11th (last) forward has been strong & provides something.
    And their 7D system is a staple of their recent success.

    It's one thing to say "Yes - put Stammer in."
    It's another thing to say "Who is coming out? And does that mess up line rolling?"

    It's a good topic for discussion!
