The Tampa Bay Lightning have had a pretty turbulent off-season. From the moment the Lightning headed home from the Consol Energy Center at the conclusion of the Eastern Conference Finals, Tampa Bay Lightning Vice President and General Manager Steve Yzerman has had his hands full.
There were a plethora of contracts that needed to be signed and not a lot of cap space to make much-needed moves. Thankfully, Yzerman has once again done a masterful job at getting everything in order and preparing the Tampa Bay Lightning for the upcoming season.
Speaking of the upcoming season, the start of the 2016-17 season is a lot closer than one would think.
