Victor Hedman speaks with media following 7-0 shutout win against the Flyers When looking at the Tampa Bay Lightning's current roster, it is fair to argue that they could use another skilled winger. Because of this, one player who has been viewed as a potential free-agent target for them is Max Pacioretty. However, Pacioretty is one step closer to signing with one of the Lightning's top rivals, as he has landed a professional tryout (PTO) agreement with the Toronto Maple Leafs. Pacioretty, 35, could have been a perfect PTO addition for the Lightning. This is because the veteran winger would have given them another strong option to consider for their middle six and power play. With the Lightning needing more secondary offensive production, taking a look at Pacioretty could have been worthwhile.

However, the Lightning still have some decent PTO options worht considering on the free-agent market. Some notable free agents who are still available for the taking include James van Riemsdyk, Kailer Yamamoto, Kevin Labanc, Blake Wheeler, and Mike Hoffman.
