Lightning ink Myers to 1-year extension
by Josh Gold-Smith from on (#62YQN)
The Tampa Bay Lightning signed defenseman Philippe Myers to a one-year contract extension worth $1.4 million.
Tampa acquired Myers in the July trade that sent Ryan McDonagh to the Nashville Predators. The Lightning already had Myers signed for the upcoming season at a $2.55-million cap hit.
The 25-year-old collected one goal and three assists over 27 games with the Predators last season, adding two tallies and five helpers in 16 contests with the AHL's Toronto Marlies.
Myers played his first three campaigns with the Philadelphia Flyers, who dealt him to Nashville as part of the Ryan Ellis swap in July 2021.
