Lightning sign Alex Killorn to $31.15 million, 7-year deal
Alex Killorn and the Lightning wanted to keep the team together, and Tampa Bay made sure he’d be part of its long-term future.
The Lightning on Sunday signed Killorn to a $31.15 million, seven-year contract to avoid arbitration and lock up another important player.
Earlier this off-season, Tampa Bay signed captain Steven Stamkos for eight years and $68 million, defenceman Victor Hedman for eight years and $63 million and goaltender Andrei Vasilevskiy for three years and $10.5 million.
After a trip to the Stanley Cup Final in 2015 and the Eastern Conference final in 2016, Killorn saw the Stamkos contract and the potential for more post-season success and wanted keep the trend going.
