The Lightning should consider targeting this Penguins forward.
The Tampa Bay Lightning have had a decent start to the season, as they have an 8-6-1 record. Due to this and their high expectations, they will likely be buyers yet again during this campaign.
When looking at the Lightning's roster, it is fair to argue that they could use some help in their bottom six. Pittsburgh Penguins forward Noel Acciari is one specific trade candidate who could be an interesting target for them.
The Penguins have already begun selling, as they traded Lars Eller to the Washington Capitals earlier this week. Because of this, more of their players are expected to be available, and Acciari is among the most notable ones creating some chatter.
Acciari, 32, would be a solid addition to the Lightning's bottom six. He could fit in nicely as their fourth-line center but could also play at right wing because of his versatility. In addition, he would be a clear choice for their penalty kill because of his solid defensive play.
Acciari also offers value because of his tenacious style of play and post-season experience. Thus, he could be a nice addition to Tampa Bay's roster if acquired.
Acciari has two goals, five points, 47 hits in 18 games this campaign with Penguins.. He is also a former 20-goal scorer and has scored at least 10 goals in four different seasons.
