At the beginning of free agency, the Tampa Bay Lightning had one goal: build a championship worthy roster. Any National Hockey League team dreams of hoisting the Stanley Cup. Along with the NHL entry draft, free agency is a premier way to get one step closer towards a hockey team’s dream.
Led by the signing of Pontus Holmberg and the return of Gage Goncalves as listed on PuckPedia, the Lightning’s free agency period shows fans that management believes the current roster to be ready for a dominant season ahead. The core of the Lightning, of course, remains unchanged.
