The Tampa Bay Lightnings roster just got more sharper when GM St-Pierre decided to aquire Patrick Sharp late last night.  An article trigger St-Pierre's attention when the Vancouver Canucks annouced Sharp wanted out of Vancouver.

GM Hondronikolis were not selling his player cheap, asking for top draft picks, and young players.  The Canucks got younger in aquiring in the trade Alex Killorn, and prospect Ully.  On top of them, he got first and second round picks.

With the toughest division in the league, GM St-Pierre needed to make a big move to make sure he get a chance to make the playoffs.  With the defending Stanley Cup Champion, Detroit in the mix, and also top teams like Toronto, Buffalo and Boston, it's break it or leaving it. 

Here are the tentative line-up for the Tampa Bay Lightnings;

Pavelski - Sharp - Statsny

Ennis - Tatar - Burns

Lecavalier - Hudler - Fehr

* Burrows - Flynn

Niskanen - Yandle

Vlasic - Dekeyser

Garrison - Quincey

Sources told TSN, tha GM St-Pierre is talking to other teams to aquire another big piece to add to his forwards.  All his picks, prospects and Ahl'ers are in the mix.  We also heard that St-Pierre is going all out to win the Stanley Cup!!!
