Prospal Bought Out

The Lightning have informed Vaclav Prospal that they are beginning the motions to have the remaining three years of his contract bought out by placing him on unconditional waivers. Prospal will now become an unrestricted free agent once the paperwork is completed and the deadline is passed in his waiver period.

In 2009, Prospal played in 82 games, scoring 19 goals and adding 26 assists. His cap hit for the next three seasons was scheduled to be $3.5 million.
