Ex-Lightning Tough Guy Expected To Become Free Agent
During this past off-season, the Tampa Bay Lightning traded forward Tanner Jeannot to the Los Angeles Kings in exchange for a 2025 second-round pick and a 2024 fourth-round pick. The move was understandable, as the Lightning needed to free up cap space, and Jeannot struggled to find his fit in Tampa Bay.
In 55 games with the Lightning during the 2023-24 season, Jeannot recorded seven goals, 14 points, 211 hits, and a minus-10 rating. The 6-foot-2 winger also did not have the bounce-back season he was looking for with the Kings this campaign, as he had just seven goals and six assists in 67 games this year.
Now, Jeannot is expected to be on the move again. According to Hockey Royalty's Russell Morgan, the former Lightning forward is expected to hit the free-agent market on July 1.
While Jeannot has had some struggles in recent seasons, he certainly has the potential to generate interest if he does, in fact, become a free agent this summer. His gritty style of play and size could make him an appealing target for clubs looking to add more toughness to their roster. The 28-year-old also had 24 goals and 41 points in 81 games in 2021-22 with the Nashville Predators.
Nevertheless, it will be intriguing to see where Jeannot ends up landing this off-season, but it appears that his time as a King is coming to a close.
In 75 games over two seasons with the Lightning, Jeannot posted eight goals, 18 points, 97 penalty minutes, 288 hits, and a minus-16 rating.
