Lightning general manager Steve Yzerman said the two-year term should take some pressure off Lindback as he works his way toward becoming what the team hopes is its long-term solution in net.
"Two years gives Anders an opportunity to settle into our organization, earn that starting job and not have to worry about a contract for another year," Yzerman said. "He's not committed for too long, and if his game takes off — and we hope that it does — he's in a position to sign a longer-term deal." |
