It was reported Decemthat the two parties had tentatively agreed to a 56-game season scheduled to begin on January 13, 2021. In a joint announcement from the NHL and NHLPA on October 6, 2020, a target date of Januwas set for the start of the season. The Lightning entered the season as the defending Stanley Cup champions. Perry also had 23 penalties drawn, though a good number of those were matching majors for fighting.The 2020–21 Tampa Bay Lightning season was the 29th season for the National Hockey League (NHL) franchise that was established on December 16, 1991. Paul drew 17 penalties, while Jennaott had 24 between Nashville and Tampa. Jeanott posted 24 goals during his rookie campaign with Nashville.Įven if the goals don’t always find the net, both are solid at drawing penalties. Paul started out the season hot, scoring 13 goals in Tampa’s first 30 games of the season, and was on pace for a 35-goal season before tailing off the back half of the year. This could also be a sneaky good scoring line if the cards break right.
This would give Tampa a bruising third line with Jeanott as the main battering ram and Paul and Perry in clean up. Tanner Jeanott also needs a new deal, but given what Tampa gave up to acquire him at the trade deadline, it is also a guarantee they will ink him to a new deal.Īnd if all three are in Tampa next season, it would make the most sense to pair the group together on the third line. Corey Perry needs a new contract as well, but it actually makes sense to bring him back, as his numbers this year were better than meets the eye.
It is with that in mind that Colton might not come back. And honestly, the problem for Colton isn’t whether Tampa can afford him for 2023-24 it is whether Tampa can afford him AND Hagel for 2024-25. If Ross Colton gets resigns, he probably slots into this line. Mandatory Credit: Nick Turchiaro-USA TODAY Sports Tampa Bay Lightning Third Line Projections:
