Another blue-line investment

The Bolts have signed 19-year NHL veteran Luke Richardson to a 1 year, 500 thousand dollar contract. This attempts to solidify the blue line with an experienced NHl defensiveman and puts a bit of a damper on the idea that prospects such as Andy Rogers, Mike Egener, Matt Smaby and others would get a shot at the Lightning roster.

...well, that is, if you believe Richardson is a lock to make the team.
