The Tampa Bay Lightning announced today that forward Jakob Pelletier has been reassigned to the team’s AHL affiliate, the Syracuse Crunch.
Tampa recalled Pelletier on Saturday, and he served as a healthy scratch for the club’s comeback win over the Carolina Hurricanes. The 24-year-old 2019 first-round pick has been stellar for the Crunch this season. He leads the team in scoring with 31 points in just 24 games, a total that also ties Laval Rocket forward Laurent Dauphin for the scoring lead across the entire AHL.
Pelletier’s recall cost the Crunch their most lethal offensive player during their two-game weekend swing through Hartford and Providence. The Crunch defeated the Wolf Pack on Friday night but fell to the Bruins on Saturday, results that kept them tied with Laval for the division lead.
While he didn’t get to play during his brief stint on the Lightning’s roster, the recall did come with a marginal financial benefit for Pelletier. He signed a three-year contract with the Lightning over the summer, one that carries a $775K NHL salary across all years. While his deal has a one-way structure in year two and year three of the deal, Pelletier is playing on a two-way contract structure this season. Pelletier’s AHL salary this season is $250K, and his guarantee is $350K.
This most recent recall slightly improved Pelletier’s chances of pushing past that guarantee in terms of total compensation by the end of the season in the event that further, more lasting recalls are in store for him down the line.
Jakob Pelletier being sent down isn’t surprising as he was brought up more for roster insurance but obviously, they don’t need it right now. Pelletier will get his chance in due time to be a potential mainstay. He’s developing his skills and game in Syracuse as he’s even said the coaching staff is really helping him improve.
Captain Obvious to the rescue.
I see Captain Goggles Jack@$$ apparently stalking again. Seriously, the only thing obvious here is you’re a mental head case. Get help, you Pizano troll.
do you ever have a good day? do you want me to provide you with the number to the helpline?
What are you talking about? My day is fine, I just can’t stand trolling morons like you and Goggles Putz who just troll these comments boards like some internet losers who provide nothing on the articles besides attacks of others.
Your repeated behavior on this website suggests otherwise. This isnt even a one off thing for you, youre constantly having a meltdown, crying on here 24/7 the moment someone criticizes a stupid take you make. Ironic youre telling others to get help, but we all know thats just projection.
Haha you’re a highly ignorant and overdramatic fool. Thanks for sharing such a stupid and fabricated narrative that’s a blatant lie. Here’s a suggestion for your self-righteous idiocy, stop reading my posts, stupid a$$ and get a life.
You’re the real pathetic individual here as you’re the one trolling and harassing others. You probably need attention because no one cares about your arrogant a$$. Go back to your basement, troll.
^^^prime example
^^^Prime example of a troll.
You are the prototype of a troll, I’m glad you agree. Now, take your condescending superiority BS and piss off already, you troll.
Just a couple of posts up the board you told us that you can’t stand morons who attack others while providing nothing on the topic of the article. Isn’t this what did on your last three posts?
thunder you gotta be a boomer. take a deep breathe and log off this website a while touch some grass
@Doghockey – My OP was about the article. My last 3 posts were defending myself from annoying and harassing trolls who are stalking me on every board on here like the pathetic losers they are.
@Begamin – No, I’m not a boomer at all but good to know you’re prejudicial as well. You’re truly just a low life. Why don’t you piss off and touch grass yourself. Your condescending nonsense shows you’re a narcissist. I’m beginning to think you’re potentially a sociopath.
I, as well as just about everyone on here, am condescending to you because you act like a total spaz nonstop. Stop behaving like a child and people wont treat you as such. Trying to diagnose me because you are being made fun of is crazy too. Stop projecting and touch grass brochacho. Cya
So it’s different when you do it. Got it. Thanks.
@Begamin – I don’t have a problem with the majority of people on here as many are cordial to talk too. Where you’re not by any means. Acting like a child?…Hey stupid, you’re the one attacking me originally. You replied to my OPs, I wasn’t responding to your OPs. Why don’t you stop manipulating the situation like a narcissistic pr**k. You keep talking about projecting and whatever nonsense you’re spewing. Look in the mirror you self-righteous doucheb*g.
Btw you don’t speak for anyone but yourself. So stop acting like some hierarchy on these boards. You’re nothing more than an internet troll with a superiority complex. I’m putting your trolling a$$ on mute. Good riddance to you.
P.S. Get psychiatric help, you’re the definition of a narcissist, a$$hole.
@Doghockey – That’s what you got out of my post?…Why am I not surprised smh. You’re an a$$hole on every level. No wonder why users call you a Karen. Pi$$ off, Dogsh*t.
What else would I take out of it? Up the page you tell us that you can’t stand posters who attack others yet you spent most of your time on this forum doing exactly that. That said, I love watching your tantrums. You are extremely amusing. All this over hockey. You and a few others that hang around here make the comments worth watching.
