Maroon, still no doubt celebrating the Stanley Cup he won with hometown team the St. Louis Blues in June, finally secured his future for 2019-20 after agreeing to terms with Tampa Bay on a one-year contract, worth $900,000 on Saturday.
It is a hell of a pickup for the Lightning who have added some much-needed grit and toughness to their lineup, in addition to acquiring a veteran forward who can provide secondary scoring, as backed up by Maroon’s 28 points (10 goals, 18 assists) in 74 regular season games in 2018-19, in addition to three goals and four assists for seven points in 26 postseason contests.
