Lightning sign Eyssimont to 2-year deal
by Sean O'Leary from on (#6BG6F)
The Tampa Bay Lightning signed forward Michael Eyssimont to a two-year contract worth $800,000 per season, the team announced Friday.
Eyssimont was scheduled to become a Group 6 unrestricted free agent this offseason as a 25-and-older player with three professional seasons under his belt but fewer than 80 total games.
The Bolts acquired Eyssimont before the trade deadline from the San Jose Sharks in exchange for Vladislav Namestnikov, and he produced two points in 15 games after arriving in Tampa.
Eyssimont started the 2022-23 campaign with the Winnipeg Jets and was a fifth-round draft choice of the Los Angeles Kings in 2016.
