The Tampa Bay Lightning have announced that they will be hosting an early Fall prospect tournament against the aspiring NHLers from the Carolina Hurricanes, Nashville Predators, and Florida Panthers.
Within the four-team tournament, each team will play each other once, so only a total of three games. The roster includes 16 drafted players for the Lightning, along with a handful of signed/acquired prospects (four), and an additional four undrafted invitees. No one in this tournament has played an NHL game (as is the rule for development tournaments), so the games should be nice and competitive.
