Dennis Yan: Allowed to walk by Lightning
Yan did not receive a qualifying offer from the Lightning and will become a UFA on Friday.
Yan has yet to make his NHL debut -- he recorded 10 goals and eight assists in 50 games with AHL Syracuse in 2019-20. He's reached double-digit goals in the minors for three straight years, but he'd likely need to make a large jump in production to be seriously considered for an NHL roster.

Lightning's Dennis Yan: Struggling to score in AHL
Yan scored twice in AHL Syracuse's 5-3 win over Cleveland on Saturday.

Although still just 21 years old, Yan has the look of a career minor-leaguer at this point.
