Tampa Bay Lightning sign 3 RFA's to MASSIVE 8 year deals - PUTS THEM OVER THE CAP

It's only been a few weeks since the Tampa Bay Lightning were eliminated in 6 games to the Colorado Avalanche to end the hopes of a three-peat.

Once the playoffs were over, the Lightning had some roster and cap situation to take care of including some key Restricted Free Agents.

Just now the Tampa Bay Lightning announced that they've signed 3 RFA's to 8 year deals:
