They did win the Cup a few years ago, so they aren't exactly the same story. Also, the cap in the NHL makes this much easier.

5th in East is a compliment. I see no reason why they'll do much better this year than last. Lightning have always been one of the worst teams in the league, like the Kings and Hurricanes(and Whalers). They've all had their good/lucky year, but will have to wait a couple more decades to repeat.

Just so you guys know, I believe that Rolston, Malone and Roberts all had there negotiating rights traded for by the lightning.THat means that they had until today to be the only teams to talk to those players. When the free agency signing period began today, Rolston informed the lightning that he was going to pursue free agency. Not sure what malone and roberts did because I haven't checked the news yet.
So if they don't sign either of the three, they gave away draft picks for nothing to try to negotiate with them

Malone signed a seven year 31.5 million dollar deal with Tampa.
Roberts signed a one year deal for about 2 million with Tampa.
Rolston signed a four year 20 million dollar deal with New Jersey.
Ya got to get up to date. I have been waiting for this day for a long time.
Here is a list of who has signed where.

From what I saw yesterday, they signed Roberts for a year at 800k plus 10k for every reg. season game he plays. Id be surprised if they signed this old fart for more than a year.
