Lightning Keep Sabourin in the Fold on One-Year Deal

The Lightning are sticking with a player who knows exactly how to earn his keep in this league. Scott Sabourin is back on a one-year, two-way contract, which tells you Tampa Bay still values the kind of depth piece that can survive the daily grind and jump in when needed. These deals rarely make the highlight reel, but front offices love them because they protect the roster without tying their hands. In a cap world, those little moves can end up mattering more than people think.
