The Tampa Bay Lightning are interested in veteran defenseman John Carlson during the upcoming free agency, as they seek to fill the gap left by Darren Raddysh’s departure. Carlson, a former Washington Capital, aims to return to the East Coast after a strong season with 60 points, making him an appealing option for Tampa’s power play, especially with Victor Hedman’s uncertain status. The Lightning have sufficient cap space and could sign Carlson to a three-year deal around $7MM, providing an experienced stopgap for their aging roster.
