TSN: Darren Dreger on TSN 690 said that it’s not going to be easy for the Tampa Bay Lightning to upgrade at the trade deadline given their $1.7 million in salary cap space.
They don’t have any big holes that need to be filled and they can look for some added depth.
Dreger believes that they have inquired about Philadelphia Flyers Wayne Simmonds and Carolina Hurricanes Micheal Ferland. Adding a power forward that can play in their top-six/nine would be a huge asset.
“The question is, are they willing to part with anyone off their roster.
