Lightning Update...Not Really?!?!?
Haven't posted in a while. Just wanted to say that there is nothing going on in Lightning Land. The rookie camp just ended a few days ago and Stamkos had 2 goals and 3 assists in the final scrimmage. Other than that, the search for a veteran defenseman is going very slow with no real word of anything substantial. There have been some rumblings of Jokinen being shipped to Toronto or Nashville, but nothing has come out of it. These are the dog days of summer and news is very slow right now...stay tuned for a whole lot of nothing for a while.

Lightning Sign Stamkos...
According to the St. Petersburg Times, the Tampa Bay Lightning have signed the 1st overall pick in the 2008 entry draft, Steven Stamkos. As expected he has gotten the maximum for a rookie, signing for 3 years at $850k plus $2.4mil in bonuses. The Lighting cap hit will be around $3.25mil. The Bolts will make the signing official tomorrow at the opening of there rookie camp in British Columbia. The rookie camp will also include the likes of newly acquired Ty Wishart and former 1st round draft pick, goaltender Riku Helenius among 17 others. The event will be held at owner Len Barrie's Bear Mountain Resort in Victoria British Columbia, and will be open to the public.
IMO: Nothing shocking here. This was expected from the beginning.
