Cally seems the most likely player to be moved to make room for Brayden Point’s new contact The Lightning -Joe Smith recently caught up with Ryan Callahan as rumors about a trade start to swirl (pay-walled). It’s one thing to accept being part of a forward rotation for the league’s top team. But for the 34-year-old, veteran wing — a former Rangers captain — to be a regular healthy scratch, it sent another big-picture signal. Callahan realized that with a diminished role and a $5.8 million salary cap hit in 2019-20 he was probably in his final months in a Lightning sweater. “Obviously there’s a salary cap crunch, and it doesn’t take a scientist to figure out right now I’m on the outside looking in,” Callahan told The Athletic. “Whatever happens, happens. But I was really happy with how I finished the year.” -Yesterday brought the newest update from Worlds, where seven Lightning players continue to do well.

Domingue was the subject of our player grades yesterday: Whatever happens after next season, Domingue’s time in Tampa has gone as well as anyone could have hoped after the trade. He starred in the AHL. He moved up to the NHL and played well enough to stick. He shined in his opportunity when Vasilevskiy was hurt. And as the season progressed, he found new ways to help the team and engage with the fans even when he wasn’t playing. -Thanks to the Lightning, the City of Oldsmar will have a new outdoor street hockey rink!
