Will The Blackhawks To Let 1st-Round Pick Walk In July?
The Chicago Blackhawks have made a decision to trade prospect Jack Pridham to the Tampa Bay Lightning .

Now, the last debacle for ...
Lightning add prospect in trade with Chicago
Stop us if you’ve heard this before. The Chicago Blackhawks are up against a deadline to sign one of their prospects and somehow that prospect ends up with the Tampa Bay Lightning.

Tampa Bay Lightning sign promising prospect to entry-level contract

The 20-year-old is now set to start next season in North America with either the Syracuse Crunch or the Tampa Bay Lightning.

Lightning Morning News: What did we miss?
Well, kids, we’re back. Thanks to some travel issues, it wasn’t quite the middle of nowhere experience we had hoped for, but we were still able to disconnect, enjoy a different city, eat too much food, and watch too much television. Now, that the brain has been refreshed a little, it’s time to get back into the swing of things. It doesn’t appear we missed much when it comes to the Lightning. They signed Scott Sabourin to a one-year, two-way contract , which is nice. PuckPedia lists the te...
On this date in Penguins history: Bryan Rust’s big Game 7 performance

Heading into the 2025-26 season, […]
Lightning sign Max Groshev to two-year extension
Well, there will be no arbitration hearings this summer for the Tampa Bay Lightning (unless, of course, Julien BriseBois pulls off some sort of trade). The Bolts headed into the off-season with one restricted free agent that had arbitration rights, and on Tuesday, they agreed to a contract with that player. Max Groshev is now under contract for another two seasons as he agrees to a two-year, two-way deal with the Lightning. Groshev was selected in the third round of the 2020 draft and has...
Lightning Morning News: Could John Carlson be a back-up option if Darren Raddysh heads for greener pastures?
The Tampa Bay Lightning want to sign Darren Raddysh. After all, it’s always easier to predict the future with known commodities. Unfortunately, teams don’t always get what they want, especially in free agency. There are a lot of factors out of their control that can determine where the Bald Eagle decides to nest next season. So, if he does take flight in free agency, can the Lightning bring someone else in to help fill the hole? Maybe. In fact, there could be a player that is pretty much ...
Lightning Weekend News: Former Bolt named GM of PWHL’s newest franchise
Manon Rheaume is a name that is forever etched in Tampa Bay Lightning history. On September 23, 1992 (back when the Tampa Tribune was just 25 cents) she appeared in a pre-season game for the Lightning against the St. Louis Blues, stopping seven of nine shots in one period of play. Her debut marked the first time a woman participated in one of the four major North American sports leagues. Rheaume would appear in two games for the Atlanta Knights that season, posting a 0-1-1 record with a 6...

Lightning Morning News: Could Eeli Tolvanen be on the Lightning’s free-agent radar?
Tampa Bay Lightning general manager Julien BriseBois is doing his best to lower the expectations of fans when it comes to a big free-agent splash. Honestly, based on the talent available, there is no reason for anyone’s expectations to be above mildly intrigued by this class. If all the Lightning do is re-sign Darren Raddysh, an argument can be made that they nabbed one of the top players available. That’s not fun, though, right? The Lightning have some cash, well, cap space, and some nee...
Lightning Morning News: Tampa Bay has decision to make on two prospects
Julien BriseBois’ could have one of the easiest summers of his tenure as Lightning general manager. Sure, he needs to find some depth scoring, make the team a little younger without sacrificing talent, and figure out what to do with Darren Raddysh and Nikita Kucherov, but at least he doesn’t have a lot of RFA’s to deal with. One additional task on his summer to-do list is decide if the Lightning are going to offer entry-level contracts to two of their recent draft picks. The draft rights ...

Team Canada also announced their roster , but there will be no Lightning players joining them (as of right now). So, for now, it’s just Moser and Carlile he...

Just over a week from now, international hockey ramps back up as the IIHF Men’s World Championship gets under way in Switzerland. Sixteen countries will compete for the gold, silver, and bronze in the yearly tournament that runs concurrent with the Stanley Cup playoffs. The timing of the tournament prevents it from being a true best-on-best competition, but it usually features a nice blend of NHL players whose teams have exited the postseason, prospects, and top European players. With the...
