All: The new Billszone site with the updated software is scheduled to be turned on Tuesday, May 21, 2024. The company that built it, Dynascale, estimates a FOUR HOUR shut down, from 8pm Pacific, (5pm Eastern) while they get it up and running. Nobody will be able to post in any forum until they are done. Afterwards, you may need to do a web search for the site, as old links will not work, because the site is getting a new IP address. Please be patient. If there are bugs, we will tackle them one at a time. Remember the goal is to be up and running with no glitches by camp. Doing this now assures us of that, because it gives us all summer to get our ducks in a row. Thank you!
Lightning announce Jonathan Drouin back to junior. Too many people will look at it as a failure, but long-term thinking is never bad.

big fan of this kid, but he should have made a bad lightning team.
Why waste a year of cheap rookie salary on a bad team? It's not like playing top minutes in junior will hurt him. I think this was the right decision.
i think drouin has hit his potential ceiling in the CHL. hes like grigs. too good for the CHL, not ready for the NHL, and cant play in the AHL.
Not so sure. Now he might have to do it without Mackinnon (although he did have a good stretch with out him last year) but I'm sure it's more about playing time.
he was penciled in because he was the 3rd overall pick. that's why rosters aren't decided in June. I think it will be better for the organization in the long run.

could be, but it was expected he would be in the lineup every game. with plenty of ice time.
