He’s been one of my favourite Lightning players, hopefully with added ice-time this year he’ll show them what he’s got.

Bolts gonna somehow add Hamilton at the deadline with all 31other teams retaining so his caphit is $9,042.

But in all seriousness this signing is awesome and JBB has navigated through cap hell beautifully for another season.

Great signing. Loved what I saw from Colton this season (and he ended our cup hopes angry). On about any other team in the league he could easily play 3rd line minutes with the potential to be a 2nd liner. Great deal for the cap strapped lightning to get him on a low AAV.

$712 (!) cap space if you replace Gemel Smith with Taylor Raddysh (Seabrook LTIR obviously)

One of the most underrated players in the league. Unmatched work ethic relative to his skillset.
