The Lightning are NOT DEALING. Here's a FACT that EVERYONE ON THE INTERNET needs to comprehend:

The Lightning are -- at this juncture -- a business transaction. They are a good being sold from one group to another. They cannot take ON payroll, nor can they SHED payroll unless the groups agree to do so. No such agreement (no sales agreement either) has come to light.

So where others see the Lightning as needing to shed, or mix things up, or something else... Well, the truth is the Lightning can't do crap. Jay Feaster's hands are tied until the ownership situation is cleared up. Marty's staying. Boyle's staying.
