    As a third-pairing guy on a cheap deal I think it’s fine, anything above that is a hard pass

    The next Shattenkirk, maybe? I haven’t watched him enough to say yea or nay, but we need a LHD to take Ian Cole’s spot.

    I don’t hate it, for the right price.

    Can’t be worse than Myers if its a cheap contract

  5. On the left-side bottom pair, why not. Not like that guy plays much anyways with Heddy and Sergy in the lineup

  6. Allen_Koholic

    My thought is that the season is over and Severalli is looking for clicks.

    I’d be happy to take a chance on him for a 1-2m. Low risk-high reward if he stays healthy and pans out. Win-win for the team and him, he gets a chance to resurrect his career and a chance at another payday, and we get a quality Dman on the cheap.

    I feel like this off-season with how the playoffs went and what it showed, Tampa needs to bolster the dline.

    Agree with the comments that oel on a cheaper sided contract would be a upgrade on cole(he is awful)

    If he will come for cheap, sure. Ian Cole needs to be replaced.

    As someone who watched a lot of the Canucks and of every Lightning game.

    **Reasons for the Bolts to sign him:**

    * A bit more offense on the back-end, don’t expect him to score any goals but he still can play a good forward pass.
    * More Depth on the back-end, always welcome.
    * Some good stick-work on the back-end.
    * The Bolts will always have a defensive pairing out there where there will be some offensive threat.
    * He’s not small at 6 FT 2.
    * Hedman likes him.

    **Reasons to stay away:**

    * Whenever I watched the Canucks and there was some shenangians going on in the back-end it was usually him or Myers.
    * He’s maybe 6 FT 2 but he’s not really a strong D-Man.
    * Not good defensively.
    * The Sedins liked him too and look how that turned out.

    Unless he comes here for league minimum on a one-year contract, I would stay away.
