Lightning Round: Recap of the first day of free agency

It was a busy day for the Tampa Bay Lightning organization. No, Mikhail Sergachev and Anthony Cirelli haven’t re-signed yet and obviously it was very early to expect it on the opening day of the NHL free agency. However Julien BriseBois and his team took some steps to make it happen.

Just when the free agency window opened, the Lightning announced that Tyler Johnson was placed on waivers. Reportedly Johnson’s camp gave the Lightning a list of 7-8 teams, but the team wasn’t able to agree on a trade with any of them.
