BREAKING: Lightning Extend Star Deadline Acquisition

The Tampa Bay Lightning have extended their star deadline acquisition they paid top dollar for.

NHL insider Elliotte Friedman has revealed that the Tampa Bay Lightning will be extending Tanner Jeannot to a two-year deal.

The Lightning acquired Jeannot at the trade deadline last year after trading away former 1st-round pick Cal Foote, a 2025 1st-round pick, and a 2nd, 3rd, 4th, and 5th round pick as well.

In 20 games with the Lightning, Jeannot posted 4 points. 2022-23 was rough for Jeannot seeing him score only 18 points in 76 games. It was a massive step down from his 2021-22 campaign which saw him score 24 goals and 41 points.

This contract will cost the Lightning $2.665 million for the next two years but hopefully will see Jeannot outperform it and live up to what they traded for him.
