These are the larger meaner people that have been added to the Lightning so that they can run a team out of the rink and make the Montreal monsters on defense seem to be normal sized.

You are being willfully blind if you can't see that Gaudreau would be as good as Point on the TB team and that Point would be waiting to get traded out out of Calgary.

It also works the other way in the great skilled players Kucherov, Point, Stamkos etc take the scoring pressure off the more physical players.

Vasilevskiy took over from Bishop.

He got the benefit of having a bigger more physical defense in front of him. There isn't a time when TB doesn't have a reasonable physical presence on the ice when Perry and Gallagher feel the urge to run Vasilevskiy.
