The Tampa Bay Lightning continue to be one of the busiest teams in the league in recent days.
After focusing on signing forwards the Bolts turned their attention to the goaltending depth by signing former Washington Capitals netminder Olaf Kolzig to an affordable one-year, $1.5 million contract.
The former Vezina winner will share the goaltending duties with Mike Smith, whom the Lightning acquired from the Dallas Stars at the trade deadline in the Brad Richards deal, providing veteran leadership and experience as well as tutoring Smith, whom management still sees as their starter goalie of the future.
Kolzig struggled at times last season with the Capitals but with less of a load on his shoulders this season could find a lighter workload more beneficial to his game.
**UPDATE** The rumor is circulating in the media that the Lightning are shopping Smith (!).Looks like the Lightning's wild ride under their new ownership is far from over.
