from Ken Campbell of the Hockey News,
Perhaps Barrie knows something we don’t. But we’re betting a top eight defense corps of Paul Ranger, Filip Kuba, Matt Carle, Shane O’Brien, Alexandre Picard, Mike Lundin, Janne Niskala and Matt (and we don’t mean) Smaby will not hold up to the rigors of NHL competition and will be the Lightning’s undoing next season.
And if it’s true the Lightning is shopping No. 1 goalie Mike Smith and plans to go with a tandem of Olaf Kolzig and Karri Ramo next season, the Lightning had better be prepared to lose lots of 6-5 hockey games.

Whatever they don’t spend on salary they will have to spend on therapy for shell-shocked goaltenders.

He never mentioned Hutchinson who could make the team, but it dont matter, the Bolts defense will probably be one of the worst in the league.
I will enjoy watching the Bolts defense struggle with all that money spent on offense in 08/09.
