Lightning General Manager Steve Yzerman Says ‘Marty St. Louis Is Not Going to Be Traded’

Via NESN.com  |  March 29, 2013
The Tampa Bay Lightning may be in the middle of an awful season, which has led them to shake some things up, but they are not going to shake up one of the best things they’ve got going. The combination of Steven Stamkos and Martin St. Louis continues to flourish as everything else falls apart around the duo, and while the Bolts could get something pretty good in return for St....

Jon Cooper a long-term bet for Lightning

Via Fox Sports Florida  |  March 30, 2013
TAMPA, Fla. Steve Yzermans bet on Jon Cooper is a safe one, certainly, but time will reveal whether its smart. If anything should be learned after the Tampa Bay Lightnings departure from the Guy Boucher era, its that caution can never be in short supply.

from Pierre LeBrun of ESPN, "Marty St. Louis is not going to be traded," Steve Yzerman told ESPN.com Friday. "He remains one of the best players in the league and an extremely important player to our team, both on and off the ice.

Devils at Lightning game preview

Game time: 7:30 p.m. ETTV: Sun Sports If Tampa Bay Lightning general manager Steve Yzerman was attempting to spark his underachieving club with a bold coaching change, the plan has gotten off to a solid start. New coach Jon Cooper is setting the bar pretty high, too, and seems more than prepared for the job as he makes his debut Friday night against the visiting New Jersey Devils...

Rookie Of The Year

Via Kukla's Korner  |  March 31, 2013
Early in February I picked Cory Conacher of the Tampa Bay Lightning as the early season rookie of the year.  He was the clear leader in points among rookies.  This was due in part to playing with some high octane teammates in Martin St Louis and Steve Stamkos in some protected time.  Conacher is weak defensively and this is why he spent several years in the AHL despite success...

No Pain, No Gain

While Guy Boucher was the sacrificial lamb, Ken Campbell thinks the woes of the Tampa Bay Lightning should be placed squarely on the shoulders of general manager Steve Yzerman: Aside from getting lucky on a gamble with 41-year-old Dwayne Roloson two years ago, Yzerman was never able to solve the Lightning’s goaltending woes. Mike Smith became one of the best goaltenders in...
