Lightning's J.J. Moser: Inks two-year contract
Moser signed a two-year, $6.75 million contract with the Lightning on Thursday, Elliotte Friedman of Sportsnet reports.
Moser was recently dealt to Tampa Bay with Conor Geekie, a 2025 second-round pick and a 2024 seventh-round pick (Noah Steen) for Mikhail Sergachev. Moser had five goals, 21 assists, 99 hits and 112 blocked shots in 80 regular-season appearances for the Coyotes in 2023-24. Look for Moser to be a second-pairing blueliner with Tampa Bay next season.

Lightning's Cam Atkinson: Secures one-year deal
Atkinson signed a one-year, $900,000 contract with Tampa Bay on Tuesday.
After missing the entirety of the 2022-23 season due to injuries, Atkinson generated 13 goals and 28 points in 70 regular-season contests with the Flyers in 2023-24. Philadelphia bought Atkinson out of the final campaign of his seven-year, $41.125 million contract in June. However, he has some bounce-back upside as a middle-six forward option for the Lightning. He could also receive a role on the second power-play unit.

Lightning's Emil Lilleberg: Secures two-year extension
Lilleberg penned a two-year, $1.6 million contract extension with the Lightning on Tuesday.
Perhaps most noteworthy is the fact that Lilleberg's new deal is a one-way contract, which makes it harder to move him between the NHL and AHL once his new deal begins in 2025-26. For now, the 23-year-old defenseman will likely continue dividing his time between levels, though the free-agency departure of Calvin de Haan should open up a spot on the blue line.

Lightning's Victor Hedman: Inks four-year extension
Hedman agreed to terms on a four-year, $32 million contract extension with Tampa Bay on Tuesday.
Hedman has one year remaining on his current deal, which means he is tied to the Lightning through the 2028-29 campaign. There's no doubt the Bolts' front office will hope this softens the blow with the fan base after Steven Stamkos was allowed to depart in free agency Monday. The 33-year-old Hedman is coming off a bounce-back year in which he topped the 75-point threshold for just the second time in his career. Heading into the 2024-25 campaign, Hedman figures to remain among the elite defensemen in the NHL, providing top-end fantasy value as the No. 1 power-play quarterback.

Lightning's Zemgus Girgensons: Lands three-year deal
Girgensons signed a three-year, $2.55 million contract with Tampa Bay on Monday.
Girgensons spent the first 10 years of his career in Buffalo, totaling 188 points and 1,239 hits through 688 games. Last year, he scored 14 points while laying out 141 hits and averaging 11:51 of ice time through 63 games. The veteran forward will provide a bottom-six option for the Lightning.

Lightning's Steve Santini: Pens one-year pact
Santini inked a one-year, two-way contract with the Lightning on Monday.
Santini appeared to be on the cusp of becoming a full-time NHL player when he was with the Devils but has played in just nine NHL contests over the last five years, with none of those appearances coming in 2023-24. At this stage of his career, the blueliner is likely more of an emergency depth option for the Bolts with the main goal of serving as a veteran leader for AHL Syracuse.

Lightning's Tobie Bisson: Inks two-way deal
Bisson signed a one-year, two-way contract with Tampa Bay on Monday.
Bisson collected nine goals, 27 points and 59 PIM in 69 regular-season appearances with AHL Laval in 2023-24. The 27-year-old blueliner doesn't have any NHL experience. Bisson will likely begin the 2024-25 campaign in the minors.

Lightning's Derrick Pouliot: Inks one-year deal
Pouliot signed a one-year, two-way contract with the Lightning on Monday.
Pouliot had nine goals, 46 points and 59 PIM in 64 regular-season contests with AHL Texas in 2023-24. He also appeared in five regular-season outings with Dallas, but he didn't record a point over that stretch. The 30-year-old is likely to start 2024-25 in the minors, but it wouldn't be surprising to see him summoned to the NHL at some point during the campaign as an injury replacement.

Lightning's Jesse Ylonen: Heading south
Ylonen signed a one-year, $775,000 contract with the Lightning on Monday, per Eduardo A. Encina of the Tampa Bay Times.
Ylonen became an unrestricted free agent after Montreal decided against making him a qualifying offer. The 24-year-old had four goals, eight points, 41 hits and 32 blocked shots in 59 regular-season contests in 2023-24. Ylonen should be in the conservation for a fourth-line spot with the Lightning.

Lightning's Jake Guentzel: Inks seven-year deal with Tampa Bay
Guentzel signed a seven-year, $63 million contract with Tampa Bay on Monday.
Guentzel was arguably the biggest name on the board in free agency and won't even officially make it to the open market after the Lightning acquired his negotiation rights Sunday. Effectively, Guentzel will step into the role being vacated by Steven Stamkos, who Tampa Bay has allowed to leave via free agency. The 29-year-old Guentzel registered 30 goals and 47 assists in 67 regular-season contests between the Penguins and Hurricanes in 2023-24. Guentzel should be more than capable of surpassing those totals during the upcoming campaign, assuming health prevails.

Lightning's Lukas Svejkovsky: Acquired in trade
Tampa Bay obtained Svejkovsky from Pittsburgh on Sunday in exchange for Bennett MacArthur.
Svejkovsky had two goals and four points in 19 games with AHL Wilkes-Barre/Scranton in 2023-24. He also registered 16 goals and 21 assists across 30 regular-season outings for ECHL Wheeling this past campaign. The 22-year-old forward doesn't have any NHL experience yet. Svejkovsky will likely begin the 2024-25 season in the minors.

Lightning's Conor Geekie: Heads to Tampa Bay in trade
Geekie , J.J. Moser, a 2025 second-round pick and the No. 199 selection in the 2024 NHL Draft were acquired by Tampa Bay on Saturday from Utah in exchange for Mikhail Sergachev.
Geekie was the 11th overall pick in the 2022 NHL Entry Draft. He tallied 43 goals and 56 assists in 54 games between Wenatchee and Swift Current of the WHL in 2023-24. He also dressed for two playoff games for Utah's AHL affiliate in Tucson. Geekie immediately elevates Tampa Bay's thin prospect pool, especially down the middle. At 6-foot-4, the left-shooting pivot will eventually bring size, skill and vision to the Lightning. Geekie is continuing to work on his skating mechanics, as that was the knock on him on Draft Day.

Lightning's J.J. Moser: Traded to Tampa Bay
Tampa Bay obtained Moser, Conor Geekie, a 2025 second-round pick and a 2024 seventh-round selection from Utah on Saturday in exchange for Mikhail Sergachev.
Moser registered five goals, 26 points, 112 blocked shots and 99 hits in 80 games during the 2023-24 campaign. He should be able to flourish in a depth role with veteran defenders like Victor Hedman and Ryan McDonagh.

Lightning's Gage Goncalves: Inks two-way deal
Goncalves signed a one-year, two-way contract with the Lightning on Friday, per Eduardo A. Encina of the Tampa Bay Times.
Goncalves had 13 goals and 58 points in 69 regular-season contests with AHL Syracuse in 2023-24. The 23-year-old also appeared in two regular-season games with Tampa Bay, recording no points, no shots, six PIM and two hits in that span. Goncalves was eligible to become a restricted free agent in July before signing this deal.

Lightning's Gabriel Fortier: Signs one-year deal
Fortier signed a one-year, two-way contract with Tampa Bay on Monday.
Fortier generated 13 goals and 26 points in 62 regular-season contests for AHL Syracuse in 2023-24. He also added one goal and four assists in eight minor-league playoff outings. The 24-year-old forward is likely to spend most, if not all, of the 2024-25 campaign in the AHL.

Lightning's Hugo Alnefelt: Returning to Swedish club
Alnefelt inked a three-year contract with former club HV71 (Sweden) on Tuesday.
Alnefelt is expected to be a restricted free agent this offseason, so the Lightning could retain his NHL rights by giving him a qualifying offer. Having said that, the fact that the backstop signed a three-year deal would certainly seem to indicate he won't be returning to North America. With AHL Syracuse this past season, the 23-year-old Swede went 14-8-4 with a 2.76 GAA and an .893 save percentage. Alnefelt made one appearance for the Bolts back in 2021-22, and that seems likely to be his only NHL outing for his professional career.

Lightning's Waltteri Merela: Headed to Switzerland
Merela signed a one-year contract with SC Bern of Switzerland's National League on Monday, per Eduardo A. Encina of the Tampa Bay Times.
Merela is eligible for restricted free agency in July, so Tampa Bay could retain his NHL rights by extending a qualifying offer. The 25-year-old forward produced one goal, 17 shots and 32 hits in 19 regular-season appearances with the Lightning during the 2023-24 campaign. Merela also registered 15 goals and 34 points across 55 regular-season outings for AHL Syracuse this past season before adding three goals in eight playoff contests.

Lightning's Declan Carlile: Signs two-year extension
Carlile signed a two-year, two-way contract with the Lightning on Thursday.
Carlile played most of the 2023-24 season with AHL Syracuse, where the defenseman had seven goals and 27 points in 61 regular-season games. He made his NHL debut Jan. 4 versus Minnesota, blocking a pair of shots in 11:27 of ice time. Carlile will likely spend most, if not all, of the 2024-25 campaign in the minors.
