Tampa Bay :P

We are very excited to have locked out a very valuable player in our top-6. We feel with Josi and Havlat locked up, we feel that our team can remain competitive in the tough Eastern Conference. Both Roman and Marty were off-season acquisitions following the end of last season. Our team jumped from being a team that selected 5th in the previous entry draft, to remaining in the top half of the league for most of the season.

There remains a lot of work to be done to make the next leap forward to a playoff spot. But, after carefully assessing the trade market for this season, it appears there is just not enough time to make large enough changes to make a significant push. Instead we will try and rely on a couple of minor deals and the group we have going forward in making our playoff push unless a significant offer comes our way.

The timing could not have been more perfect with Josi picking up the offensive side of his game recently, Marty finally becoming healthy, and prospects such as Riley Nash, Matt Tennyson, and Jeremy Morin getting more opportunities in the NHL level.
