Would have to guess that St.L made the decision that they did not want him back. His line-up spot would be taken by Sammy Blais who played heavy in the playoffs.

Does not make a lot of sense for Tampa except that their bottom-6 is approaching the AHL level... The salary Cap in action -- top 3 guys 9.5 8.5 and Point 8? then 3 guys @ 5.3 5.1 and 5.

They are going with 4 of their bottom 6 at the replacement level.

Next year Vasilevskiy gets cap hit goes up by 6M to 9.5.
