Although Tampa Bay Lightning fans have been resting easy for about a month now, knowing that their RFAs were locked up tight for the foreseeable future, Syracuse Crunch fans have been waiting patiently (or not) for one final shoe to drop. 27-year-old forward Tye McGinn, qualified by the organization at the end of June, still hadn’t been officially re-signed. That all changed this evening, when news was announced that McGinn had been re-signed by the Tampa Bay Lightning to a one-year, two-way contract.
McGinn will be entering his third season with the Lightning organization, and Crunch fans are practically salivating for a full healthy season from the forward after watching him work his tail off during the playoffs.
