I know. The Stanley Cup is still wet with beer from the Tampa Bay Lightning’s celebration. Unfortunately, the offseason does not wait for beer to dry. We, as Lightning fans, have to prepare ourselves for the hard decisions that Julien BriseBois will have to make. We may like some, we may hate some others. But those are the decisions he has to make and that he gets paid to make for this team with input from his entire front office staff.
The first big one coming up on Saturday is submission of the team’s protection list for the Expansion Draft.
