Lightning Lock In Physical Force Viel | Tampa Bay Lightning News

Tampa Bay Lightning bolster their physical edge by locking up gritty forward Jeffrey Viel to a five-year, $2.5M deal — a move by GM Julien BriseBois that signals a tougher, more aggressive identity for the team. Viel, 29, brings 99 NHL games, 6 goals, 15 points, and a punishing 232 penalty minutes to the table, most recently with Anaheim where he added 3 goals and 10 points in 35 games. A Quebec native and undrafted free agent, Viel’s toughness and relentless style could be a perfect fit for the Lightning’s new direction — watch how he integrates over the next five seasons.
