There's no hockey being played but the Lightning is changing.
Pavel Kubina is no longer a Bolt. He was an unrestricted free agent and almost everyone pretty much saw that coming for most of the season, even with the cap increase he wanted too much money. Now he's signed with the Leafs for $5mil/year. Leafs SUCK! But I'm going to be watching for Kuby.
John Grahame is gone as well, again he's UFA and frankly after this season the Lightning didn't want him. He's a Hurricane, as a back up to Ward.
Daryl Sydor was traded back to the Stars -- for a 4th round pick.
They signed Filip Kuba, a defensemen who will take Kubina's place (they are both Czech).
Fredrik Modin and Norrena (he was either signed or traded for) was sent over to a team I forget for a goalie who the fans think is questionable.
There was another Dman signing but I can't remember his name.
The main thing is I now have to find a new favorite player.

Hey now! He'll be with a fairly dynamic young defense corps. If Raycroft can rediscover his A-game (he's from Belleville, a couple hours east of here, maybe coming home will help), and if they can acquire any forwards under 40, they might be much better this year.
Kubina said: ''I know there's a lot of good hockey players in Toronto like (captain Mats) Sundin, McCabe and Kaberle,'' Kubina said during a conference call. ''I know Tomas Kaberle very well and that was the reason why I signed with Toronto. It's a great organization too.''

I'll just miss seeing #13 in the Lightning sweater.
