From Kevin Allen at USA Today:
In the midst of the Tampa Bay Lightning ownership’s very public and messy squabble over control of the team, general manager Brian Lawton has made noise in the free agent marketplace without drawing much notice.
With training camp just around the corner, the Lightning have a new goalie in Antero Niittymaki, a new top-six scorer in Alex Tanguay and the possibility that the team will start the season with four new defensemen.
“Quite frankly, we have tried to operate quietly,” Lawton said. “When you have finished 30th and 29th (over the past two seasons) there’s no reason to draw any attention to yourself.”

About Goal Line Report
The Goal Line Report will focus on all things Eastern Conference. Do I have a bias towards the Eastern Conference just because I am a New Yorker? No, but it certainly does make things easier! I’ll make my opinions known on Eastern Conference news bits (as often as I can), big games, hot and cold players, trades (I don’t make things up) and anything and everything else related to the Eastern Conference that I think is important for hockey fans to know. I will, in every sense of the word, be the beast of the East while also making sure to drop my thoughts on other hockey news items.
I, Patrick Hoffman, have covered the NHL since 2003 and have worked for a variety of hockey media sources including: Stan Fischler, Spector’s Hockey, TheHockeyNews.com, HockeyBuzz.com, McKeen’s Hockey, Blueshirt Bulletin, XM Home Ice Channel Hockey Blog, HockeyPrimeTime.com, FantasyHockey.com. NY SportsDay, and HokejaVestnesis.com.
