The player with the best nickname on the Tampa Bay Lightning will have another go-around with the Bolts next season. It was announced Monday night that forward Pierre-Cedric Labrie, aka “Nacho” Labrie, was re-signed by the club. Labrie was to be a Group IV UFA in the coming days. The new contract is for one year and is a one-way deal.
