The Tampa Bay Lightning have re-signed forward Ondrej Palat to a five-year contract worth $5.3-million AAV, vice president and general manager Steve Yzerman announced Friday.
I'm going to start off by saying this is another team friendly deal but I'm not a huge fan of this deal. The Lightning recently re-signed Johnson to a 7 year deal. Out of the two, Palat is the one who should have landed the 7 year deal. It's not often you say a player doesn't get enough term but I think that's the case here especially when you think Killorn was able to land a 7 year deal last summer. For me Palat is the glue of this team, play him in any role, any situation and he's an effective player, he does it all and based of this contract extension, I would say he's under appreciated.
With that signing, I imagine Stevie Y offseason is complete. Roll on October! GO BOLTS!!!
