On Friday, the Tampa Bay Lightning placed their defenceman Philippe Myers on waivers. The 25-year-old defenceman was acquired in the Ryan McDonagh trade to the Nashville Predators last summer. One month after this trade Myers signed a one-year contract with the Lightning worth $1.4 million. Myers played in 11 games with the Bolts this season, scoring one goal and two assists, averaging about 11 minutes TOI, while mostly playing on the third pair.
This move potentially means that the Lightning are trying to clear some cap space in order to activate Anthony Cirelli off LTIR.
