The Tampa Bay Lightning have made a strategic move, reassigning Brandon Halverson to the AHL's Syracuse Crunch. This decision comes as a surprise to many, especially considering Halverson's impressive performance in the AHL this season. With a 12-6-3 record, a .899 save percentage, and 2.42 goals against average, Halverson has been a standout for the Syracuse Crunch. But here's where it gets controversial... Is this a wise move for the Lightning? Some might argue that Halverson's strong performance in the AHL makes him a valuable asset, especially if the team needs to make a quick recall. However, others might question the timing, as the Lightning already have a full 23-man roster. The reassignment of Halverson also means that Jonas Johansson, the backup goalie, will be active for the game against the Dallas Stars. This could be a strategic move to rest Johansson, who has been described as 'body maintenance' by the team. So, what do you think? Is this a smart move by the Lightning, or are they making a mistake by letting go of a promising young goalie? Share your thoughts in the comments below!
