Michael Milne, a former prospect for the Tampa Bay Lightning, has signed with the Manitoba Moose of the American Hockey League. Milne's stint with the Lightning organization was brief, following his acquisition from the Minnesota Wild in December 2025. After just over three months, he was traded to the Detroit Red Wings, contributing to his journey through various minor league teams, including the Iowa Wild and the Syracuse Crunch.
