  1. Tampa is one of those teams that I feel like is gonna boom or bust in the playoffs. On one hand, Kuch, Hedman, and Point aren't getting younger, but on the other hand, it's Kuch, Hedman, and Point, and Vasy probably rebounds after this season.

  2. Still Good coaching and good players. Their only downside is the Florida Panthers but that’s everybody’s downside in the east.

  3. Tampa needs more defensive help, Moser is really good but if Brisbois can find a right shot dman and slot Moser down with Raddysh on the bottom pair Tampa could be a legit threat to come out of the east.

  4. Tampa is a very good team. If there is a weakness it is their defensive scheme. The bend don't break philosophy works ok in the regular season but in the playoffs not so much. They must be better on the forecheck and all around more aggressive.

  5. Tampa's slowing falling into the same traps as Detroit, Chicago and Pittsburgh. I don't know if they are getting better as their goalie situation is still bad as last year.

  6. I could see them slipping a bit this year. This is still a top-3 team in their division, but it might be closer to 4th than 1st.

  7. Letting go of Stamkos and get Guenzel in was brilliant, Stammy in older days is just PP scorer while Guenzel provides much more on 5v5

  8. The three final appearances are in the rear view mirror. However, they are still formidable to be good in the regular season. But are they cup contenders? I think they can at least win a round. 1st in the Atlantic with 106-111 points.
