Lightning re-sign Cedric Paquette to 1-year, $1M deal

The Tampa Bay Lightning re-signed forward Cedric Paquette to a one-year, $1-million contract on Thursday, the team announced.

The 24-year-old is coming off his fourth season with the Lightning. He finished 2017-18 with five goals and four assists over 56 games. Paquette also recorded a goal and an assist in 17 playoff games this spring.

The fourth-round pick in 2012 was a restricted free agent, and he received a slight raise from his previous two-year deal that carried a cap hit of $812,500.
