This deal is a bit surprising, only because it appears to be a lateral move for Ingram (who was going to be Tampa Bay's third-string netminder heading into 2019-20). That is probably his role with Nashville's organization for the time being as well, as both Pekka Rinne and Juuse Saros are under contract through 2020-21. He may be in line to replace Rinne in two seasons as part of a time share with Saros.

The Lightning were also set in goal for the upcoming campaign with starter Andrei Vasilevskiy backed up by Louis Domingue, Still, it is a little surprising that the club dealt away the top-stringer at the AHL level for a last-round draft pick down the road. With Edward Pasquale also leaving the organization (he is headed to the KHL), Tampa Bay will now need to add a couple of depth netminders this off-season.

Ingram's path to steady NHL minutes may have improved since Rinne is a lot older than Vasilevskiy. That said, Dominque is a strict backup while Saros has No. 1 goaltender potential. Therefore, Ingram's overall fantasy situation may end up a wash.
