Photo by Scott Audette/NHLI via Getty Images And Caley Chelios is no longer UFA! The Bolts and family Scott Wheeler of The Athletic wrote his yearly ranking of newly drafted prospects, and our writer Lauren noticed right away that no Tampa Bay Lightning draftees made the top 50 list. This is fine. In the words of Loserpoints: “I think that’s fair. The Lightning pipeline has been quantity over quality for a while now. I looked at the list and I can’t really make a strong case for anyone to be above the players on the list.” And GeoFitz says, “I’ve been saying that about Lightning rankings for the past 3+ years. We almost always get [pooped] on for our drafting because we’re not drafting high, and we almost always get [pooped] on for our farm system because we have a lot of good depth, but no super stars because we’re not drafting high.” So what do you guys think? You’ll never guess #1: The top 50 drafted NHL prospects ranking, 2019 edition [The Athletic, Paid content] I didn’t give this a second thought. Hughes is going to be a star. If not immediately, then by the end of his rookie season. He’s a front-runner for the Calder, though linemates will likely dictate his ability to win it. I have almost no concerns about his size or his ability to stick at center and remain a dominant force. This was interesting to read in light of Ryan Callahan’s recent retirement: Revisiting the Martin St. Louis trade and its impact on the Lightning [Raw Charge] Callahan’s impact was certainly felt in his time with the Lightning in more ways than one. He wore an A as an Alternate Captain throughout his time with the Lightning. He was a heart and soul player that gave everything he had on the ice. The team definitely missed him in the locker room during 2016-17. THIS IS ALL ABOUT TAMPA BAY LIGHTNING PROJECTED LINES, RIGHT?

Michal Neuvirth tells reporters he has a PTO with the Maple Leafs [PPP] Neuvirth has had some success as a backup in the past, playing meaningful numbers of starts on both the Sabres and the Flyers. If you go back far enough — he’s 31 now, so he’s had a varied career — the Washington Capitals were trying to use him as a starter, and he wasn’t terrible. He’s about league average on a good season, and his career NHL average shakes out a little better than Hutchinson’s . That is exactly what you should expect from a backup. The occasional hit on a backup who performs like Curtis McElhinney last season is not something that you can just go out and get.

Like, not showing up. In this game, you don’t really have a lot of decisions. So if it’s something you don’t really want to do, you don’t have to do it.” But the financial risk was too great. “I hadn’t really made enough money at the time,” says Cashner, who hit free agency for the first time following that season and signed a one-year, $10 million pact with the Texas Rangers, then inked a two-year, $16 million deal with Baltimore after that. So he caved.
