Question

Where do you think the Tampa Bay Lightning will end up in the Eastern Conference next season?

Answer 1

6th.  That might change if they decide to trade one of there forwards for a much needed d-man.

Answer 2

Dead last. Barry Melrose is a worthless coach and his players are even more worthless.

Answer 3

Well this is hard to call. But I would honestly say that they may have a tough time making the playoffs..

1. Is Ryan Malone a 7 million player? No! he had like 50 points last year. He is a great 2-3rd liner. That was a contract year as well.

2. They have no proven goalies. Mike Smith is a backup and they are still waiting for Kari Ramo to come around. He is only 22 and goalies usually don't peak till like 26ish. They picked up Kolzig, but I doubt that will help much.

3 No defense, especially after giving away Dan Boyle.No top defencemen. While Ranger and Kuba are ok, they have hardly anything to really anchor a defense corp

4. Melrose. He is a decent coach, but I don't know.

My Pick for their position in the East

Highest- 7th

Lowest - 11th

Likely - 9th

Answer 4

I know some think they will end up in 3rd place but I see washington winning the south east again.  I say anywhere from 6th to 13th.  I know there are at least two teams worse than them.

Answer 5

10th.  Sorry, Melrose is not a good coach.

Answer 6

They might make the playoffs.

(See my Question above you for a clue to your answer) Yes, the Question right above yours in the hockey section!

Answer 7

i think they could end up top 3 in the East.. and possibly make the finals..

Answer 8

Maybe 3?

Answer 9

If they don't get the D-man they need and a real goalie, they might even miss the playoffs.
