## Resource

Tampa Bay Lightning lock in fresh talent as Jacob Pelletier earns AHL Player of the Year honors and young standouts Gage Gonsalves and Dominic James impress with big performances. With key signings like Scott Sabourin, Nick Abruzzese, and Max Groshev, Greg Stephen spotlights how the Lightning are retooling with youth, grit, and depth. Are these new additions the missing pieces for another Stanley Cup run? Greg Stephen breaks down Tampa Bay's development success, the impact of looming injuries, and the resilience of emerging players ready to fill key roles. The episode also turns to NHL playoff drama: Can the Colorado Avalanche avoid disaster as injuries pile up, or will the Vegas Golden Knights close the door on their season?
