from Lightning Strikes,
It is no secret the Lightning wants to upgrade its blue line. It recently inquired about Mathieu Schneider. Tampa Bay also wants to save some salary and O’Brien has a $950,000 cap hit. There also is evidence the Lightning is at least peripherally interested in Bryan Berard, who recently was cut by the Flyers but has the offensive instincts Tamp Bay covets.

TB needs something on the back end- I think that’s fairly obvious after watching the two games with NYR. Berard could only be an upgrade over what they’ve got going now. Aside from the Rangers’ quality goaltending, a lack of speed into the offensive zone, in some cases due to the lack of that strong first pass up-ice, seemed to be among the Lightning’s major problems. People have been talking about TB’s anemic defense and suspect goaltending (tho I think Mike Smith is way underrated at this point), but after watching these two games, I think scoring goals might be a bit more of a challenge than anticipated, too…
