The Matt Carle era in Tampa Bay was...an experience. Let’s look back at his time with the Lightning on the anniversary of his first acquisition. And for the record, his six-year contract would’ve expired on Sunday if he wasn’t bought out. [Raw Charge]
Carle’s career in Tampa was mixed. His first stint only lasted twelve games before being traded to the Flyers for a third-round pick. His second stint had some highs and lows. His best season in Tampa was 2014-2015, but by the following season, his skills had deteriorated rapidly, leading to the buyout.
