2012 Tampa Bay Lightning Lined-Up Update

On a very inconsistent basis, Raw Charge (and Boltsmag before it) has chronicled movements by the Tampa Bay Lightning during the off-season in what we've called the Lined-Up Update.

With the departure of Ryan Shannon to Europe, I thought it best to get the 2012 off-season moves underway.

The listing (after the jump) is not a concise and precise list of players under contract to the Tampa Bay Lightning for 2012-13. Nor will it be a list that defines who will be in camp and who will be playing in Norfolk next season. It is, however, a listing of players on the Lightning roster as of the close to the season, and player movement that takes place between now and the start of training camp in September.

We will have an actual page for live, running updates. This is our preliminary report:

There are currently 15 roster players under contract for the 2012-13 NHL season (preliminary update May 22nd, 2012)
