I have something to admit. When thinking about and evaluating this off-season and the upcoming Tampa Bay Lightning roster for the 2021-22 season, I’ve neglected to talk about one player under contract: Simon Ryfors.
I’m sorry Simon, I didn’t mean to forget about you.
Ryfors signed an entry level contract with the Lightning on May 12th of this year. He turns 24 in August, and because of his age, that meant that the entry level contract was for only one year. He received a $92,500 signing bonus, with a base salary of $750,000 in the NHL and $80,000 is the minors.
