The Tampa Bay Lightning's quest for a third consecutive Stanley Cup will come with a different roster makeup than the team had for the past two years.
A handful of key role players on the Tampa Bay roster are set to become unrestricted free agents and they should earn decent paydays elsewhere.
The Lightning will still bring back most of the core that captured the 2020 and 2021 Stanley Cups, but the configuration of the entire roster will change.
As for the Montreal Canadiens, they face fewer significant questions, but they have to replace a few unrestricted free agents that could leave in the offseason.
