Off-season Ramblings

Tampa acquired the rights of Gary Roberts & Ryan Malone yesterday. I hope that they’ll be able to sign these two. I think that they’ll be good additions to the Lightning. Especially since they did so well during playoffs with Pittsburgh.

Although, it does make me wonder why everyone’s bailing ship on Pittsburgh. Do they have a lot of free agents to sign? Or is it something else? They’ll be an interesting team to watch this coming season.

Finally, Lecavalier’s rumored to be signing a 9-year deal with Tampa. It’s great for the Lightning that he wants to stay, particularly for so long. However, I have just one question. Why 9 years? Why not 10? Or why not until he’s 35 or something? 9 years seems like an odd number to me. I’d like to know what the rationale is for that. Just curious, more than anything.
