Ondrej Palat's time in Tampa Bay appears to be over
The Tampa Bay Lightning cleared cap space last week by shipping Ryan McDonagh to the Nashville Predators in order to try and re-sign Ondrej Palat, as well as Jan Rutta.
TSN's Pierre LeBrun is reporting that despite talks between both sides, Palat will head to the open market at 12 p.m. ET on July 13th.
Palat, 31, has spent his entire ten-year career in the National Hockey League with the Tampa Bay Lightning after they selected him in the seventh round in the 2011 draft.
The Frydek-Mistek (Czechia) native has appeared in 628-career games with Tampa Bay, recording 423 points (143 goals, 280 assists) and 197 penalty minutes. In 138-playoff games, Palat has put up 94 points (48 goals, 46 assists), while helping the Lightning reach the Stanley Cup Final four times, hoisting the Cup twice.
Obviously things could still change but after discussions this week here in Montreal between both sides, appears pending UFA Ondrej Palat is headed to market.— Pierre LeBrun (@PierreVLeBrun) July 9, 2022
