Hey, we finally have a complete 2nd line. Not a great one but still.

Sergei Samsonov
2012 5th round pick

Mike Hoffman

A consistent theme from Tampa in recent weeks. Out with the old and declining and building up the prospect base as well as cutting cap for next season.

Thanks for the productive talks.
