@BoltsBreakdown The only change I’d add is D’Astouz for Gage. James, and Lilleberg are def there too though. I like Gage, but I think he’s going to cost a bit more…so he’d be out of my top 3 RFAs to resign long term for now.

If I’m Julien BriseBois, there are three players (not named Nikita Kucherov) I’d extend for as long as possible this offseason, while they’re cheap. • Gage Goncalves - 25yo • Dominic James - 24yo • Emil Lilleberg - 25yo All three players will be RFAs next year. Signing early, signing long, is what creates the incredible value contracts that allow us to take big swings like Carlson & Guentzel. If I got one other vote, I’d love to extend Pontus Holmberg for another 4+ years — he’ll be an UFA next year. • Pontus Holmberg - 27yo #GoBolts

@jayRecher My biggest problem with Pochettino, is that he said he is “200% Argentine”. He may be the best coach available, but I wish there was someone that would foster a bit more USA swagger and identity for the players to rally around.

Couldn’t disagree more. Poch has earned another cycle. You can only cook with the ingredients you have.

@RonDeSantis You need to add hockey to your list. #GoBolts (The Panthers need to be exiled to another state.)

I’m more knowledgeable about baseball, golf and football. Soccer is outside my wheelhouse.

@Jayslightning79 After watching Ilya’s goals from last year, he seems to be a clone of Hagel and Cirelli. I wouldn’t be surprised if he played with them and they became our shutdown line.

With Ilya Mikheyev now signed who will most likely get 3rd line minutes while also killing penalties. Girgensons may be moved now or be the extra forward in the press box. I still think Tampa needs to add another middle 6 who can play on line 2. Looking at what UFA remains.

@TheCatholicEngr Sweet! Repping Brian McBride’s number too. We are so back!

Trump just announced Marco Rubio will be filling in for Balogun in their match against Belgium

@BoltsJolts I hope this isn’t payback for Vasy’s comments at the end of last season. lol.

So uh, you get a giant goalie who just won an AHL championship and who has shown decently well at the NHL level. Does…does….does this mean JJ is on the way out?

@JFreshHockey Well are you playing D league or A league… cuz that could mean a lot.

Oliver Bjorkstrand, signed 1x$4.5M by NYR, is a two-way scoring winger who missed more tap-ins for the Lightning this year than I did in men's league.

@rmnb Dear Tom Wilson, Please come play for the #GoBolts. You will have extra opportunities to teach this gouber some wisdom and respect. Signed, #GoBolts fan

Canadiens first-round pick Gleb Pugachyov makes bold claim about fighting Tom Wilson: "There would be nothing left of him" russianmachineneverbreaks.com/2026/06/30/gle…

@TBLightning Please tell me we aren’t playing them more than twice this preseason.

@KevinWeekes @Capitals Trading Wilson to the #GoBolts! Very exciting.

👀 @Capitals are heating up ! #HockeyX

@BoltsRadio @DaveMishkin @GregLinnelli Personally, I like our 3 defensive lines as-is. Top 6 scoring with size seems like the highest priority to me. I’d love Carlson, but if we don’t get someone for the top 6…I might be depressed. What are your thoughts?

@NHL_Muse @FriedgeHNIC They’re are solidifying the right wing because they are about to trade Tom Wilson to the Bolts. #GoBolts

The Washington Capitals are acquiring Jordan Kyrou from the St. Louis Blues, per @FriedgeHNIC Kyrou had 18 goals and 46 points last season.

@BoltsJolts …and then we trade for Tom Wilson.

There’s a lot of smoke about TB and Carlson today. As soon as Raddysh left, Carlson made way way too much sense. Yes he’s older but he will produce just as much if not more than Raddysh. And 2/3x8-9M looks way better than 8x8.5. Especially with the uncertainty. Would love it.

@AJBolts And it will help us sign Ovi on a one year deal after we trade for Wilson.

Friedman just said most people he talks to would be shocked if John Carlson does not end up a member of the Lightning #GoBolts

@JakeW_8 lol. Because everyone knows Matthew won’t try anymore.

Oh and a special thank you to Tampa for trading that pick for Bjorkstrand and Gourde just to get bounced in the first round twice 😂 we used that pick for the guy who’s gonna pound 38’s face in

@MoserNorris Or Tom Wilson…

Imagine if the bolts acquired Larkin today…

@BoltsJolts I like how the bar graphs are not side by side so the size representation is meaningless.

“There are lies, damned lies, and statistics.”

@DiscussingFilm Let me guess, Tom Holland is Jim Hawkins.

@NHL_Muse To Tampa: Larkin DeBrincat To Detroit: Moser Point

Drop your best Dylan Larkin mock trades 👇

@MoserNorris I think Yes from Tampa’s perspective… Larkin is more physical and better at faceoffs. He’s also a bit cheaper.

Would you trade Brayden Point for Dylan Larkin one for one?
