| Stamkos signs | Monday 7/28, 11:45 PM CT |
|
The Sports Ticker reports that the Lightning on Monday signed Steven Stamkos of the Ontario Hockey League’s Sarnia Sting to the standard rookie deal of three years at an $875,000 base salary and $2.85-million possible through "maximum achievable performance bonuses."
Our View: An 18-year-old center, Stamkos had long been considered the top prospect in this year’s draft. He recorded 105 points in 61 games with Sarnia, finishing second in the league with 58 goals. He will likely play in the NHL next season and should have a sizeable fantasy impact. |

| Thompson stays with Bruins | Monday 7/28, 4:55 PM CT |
|
The Bruins re-signed prospect Nate Thompson on Monday according to the AP.
Our View: The 23-year-old registered 35 goals and 45 assists (80 points) over 216 career games in the AHL. He has a chance to crack the Bruins roster next season, but won't likely make a fantasy impact. |

| Bouwmeester avoids arbitration | Monday 7/28, 11:57 AM CT |
|
The Panthers have signed defenseman Jay Bouwmeester to a one-year deal, the Palm Beach Post reports. The two sides avoided arbitration.
Our View: The two sides may still be working on a long-term deal. Bouwmeester, 24, is a steady fantasy contributor, albeit not spectacular. |

| Glass signs one-year deal | Monday 7/28, 11:55 AM CT |
|
The Senators signed goalie Jeff Glass to a one-year deal on Monday, the Canadian Press confirms.
Our View: The Senators are set with Martin Gerber as the starter, but they let Ray Emery go and may have a backup opening. Glass, 22, could be a contender for that job, but he doesn't have fantasy value at this point. |
