The Tampa Bay Lightning haven’t been overly active in free agency so far this offseason. Hamstrung by a lack of cap space and the impending raises due to the success of some of their restricted free agents they just haven’t had the room (or the need) to make a lot of big splashy signings. The team did re-sign a couple of their pending unrestricted free agents in Luke Schenn and Patrick Maroon. On Thursday, the signings were officially announced by the team. So, the truculence department remains fully staffed.
The signings of Schenn ($800,000 for one year) and Maroon ($900,000 per year for two years) brings the off-season salary total to $82,537,764 (including the estimated value of the qualifying offers sent to the RFAs).
