Lightning Add Two-Way Depth As The Bottom Six Gets Busier

Tampa Bay is doing what established teams often do in the margins - adding depth before anyone notices the roster is getting tighter. Two-way signings rarely make the splash reel, but they matter when injuries hit and the calendar gets long. The Lightning are clearly keeping the pipeline warm while protecting some flexibility. That is the sort of move contenders make when they know the season is won in the third layer, not the first.
