Lightning's Cost-Efficient Scoring Stars

Lightning's Cost-Efficient Scoring Stars

Author: The Daily News Now! June 7, 2026 Duration: 1:54

The Tampa Bay Lightning prove they’re masters of cap efficiency, finding high-impact scorers at bargain rates. Darren Raddysh led the way at just $13,929 per point, followed by D’Astous and Goncalves, while stars like Kucherov and Hagel were less cost-effective. Defensemen like Cernak paid a premium, and injured forwards Paul and Point were overpriced due to limited production. The Lightning’s smart roster construction balances elite talent with affordable depth, proving cap flexibility is key to sustained success.
