The Tampa Bay Lightning are happy to see we’ve now jumped to 3rd in the Atlantic after finishing 7th last year. we are listening to trade offers of all kind (except Fox, Hughes, Perfetti)

Tampa would like to release Timashov as he’s signed a contract in Finland.

Tampa Bay roster projection: Greenway - Kopitar - Roslovic Zadina - Toews - Keller Nylander - Kempe - Gauthier Grundstrom - Dellandrea - Smith Fox - Muzzin Lindholm - Romanov Hanifin - Ferraro Subban, Kinnvall, Johnson Lankinen Dostal Prospects Forwards: Perfetti, Reichel, Forester, Rees, Bourque, Johnson, Ponomaryov, Johnston, Smilanic, Pajuniemi, McCartney, Asselin, Cardwell, Roulette Defence: Jones, York, Samuelson, Hughes, Bolduc, Lohrei, Poirier, Lukashevich Goalies: Thompson, P. Luukonen, Scott, Hofer, Levi we are pleased to see the improvements made to the roster and injection of prospects to the prospect pool.

The Tampa Bay Lightning are happy to announce the completion of the 2021 CDC NHL Entry Draft. We'd like to thank @Master Mind @thejazz97 @Jaku for their hard work keeping the league running. It's been a fantastic experience and also to all the GMs who helped conclude the quickest draft I've been apart of. With that being said here are the selections: 5th - Luke Hughes 10th - Kent Johnson 34th - Mason Lohrei* 36th - Wyatt Johnston 52nd - Connor Roulette 74th - Devon Levi* 98th - Vladislav Lukashevich 130th - Ben McCartney* *Drafted in previous drafts. The start of the draft could not have worked out better with both Hughes and Johnson jumping to 4 and 5 by the Devils and Jackets. We are also very fortunate for the Dallas pick of Wyatt Johnston at 23rd. Mason Lohrei is someone we had on our radar all season following his strong season in the USHL and are happy to add him to the team. The addition of Devon Levi is also encouraging, although there are rumor has it he is going back in the Sam Reinhart deal to buffalo. We will be pleased to see where Roulette and Lukashevich go in day 2 of the draft but all in all a much better showing than when we selected Jeremy Poirier in the first round last year only to have him slip to the 3rd..... Happy Offseason everyone, we are still actively looking to make our roster better and are happy to listen to offers.
