#TBLightning Yzerman said other than finding a backup goalie, or moving salary (forwards), they're close to done with offseason plans. Yzerman said they were really happy with draft. Didn't focus on D-men but liked the diverse group they got.
As far as placement for draft picks, DeAngelo, Thomas, Point back to junior teams, MacLeod to Boston U (or Moncton), Masin (CHL). Murray on comp with Darcy and Palat; "Before everyone gets excited, he's not yet Ondrej Palat, but 2 years ago Palat wasn't Palat."
(As @Real_ESPNLeBrun reports, #tblightning made strong push for first overall pick; Al Murray said SY asked scouts if they wanted 1st pick)
Steve Yzerman said still determining qualifying offers for unsigned restricted free agents, final determinations likely made on Sunday |
