Hopefully he's not lost on waivers due to signing the 35+ guys. This will be a steal if he ever breaks out.

He's excellent in the AHL and being paid just barely above league minimum. Even if he doesn't play a game in the NHL, this is still a good signing.

Great contract for the Bolts. Barré-Boulet takes less in years 2 & 3 to play on the best team in the league, and in turn Tampa Bay walks him to free agency.

Could be a middle 6/ top 6 player if he performs. He will be important for the future success of Tampa as they need some ELC steals.

This is amazing deal since its 3 years. He's already probably gonna get more NHL time this season, and to have a cheap deal like this going on for him through the next 3 years is great for the lightning. Amazing signing.

Man they just keep finding these small players skipped over in the draft or drafted later who eventually become good nhlers.

Gourde, Johansson, St Louis back in the day, etc. Good on them

Maybe somebody will pick him up on waivers (and keep him for more than a week this time).

Maybe. Wouldn’t mind if Vegas got him or any team really just want him to go to a team that will actually play him
