Throughout the offseason, the National Hockey League has been buzzing with Free Agency signings, trade rumors and contract extensions. One of the more recent trade rumors that rocked the internet was the chance that Ottawa Senators defenseman Erik Karlsson would be traded to the Tampa Bay Lightning.
Earlier in the summer, the Bolts somehow had a chance at the hottest free agent on the market, John Tavares. With Tavares now in the same division, signing with the Toronto Maple Leafs, the Lightning looks on to build the defense.
