Joe Smith: Think that the Lightning will be able to address their blueline from a trade, but they will also consider free agent options. Karl Alzner is one free agent that could be available.
Joe Smith on the Tampa Bay Times: GM Steve Yzerman said he’ll look at free agency for a defenseman and maybe one or two wingers.
Sources saying the Lightning were one of many teams that contact Kevin Shattenkirk‘s camp yesterday.
Shattenkirk would definitely fit a need for the Lightning but he won’t come cheap.
