Annual Pre-Season interview

Will Lecavalier emerge with a great season or will he slump?

With the Draft out of our way and the Lightning, who have only got stronger during the offseason, ready to be a winning franchise, we spoke with executive General Manager, Peter Carey, to get the scoop.

TBLightning.com: What are your main goals for this team?
Carey: I think that we are ready to take a step up, I think playoffs are definitely something to work towards this year.

TBL:What has made this young team so strong?
Carey:With a new Defense built around Mattias Ohlund, Victor Hedman, Kurtis Foster, and others, our "D" has gotten great. We have the go-to-guys on offense: Stamkos, Marty, vinny, Malone. Smith is healthy and will be receiving great back-up from Niittymakki. things are looking bright.

TBL:Any specifics on trade details?
Carey: I respect my players privacy but yes, there are a few guys I'm going to shop around this season and see what happens.

**Note To Followers: I will not be doing the 2nd NHL draft. Sorry for the inconvenience.**
