Lightning center Vincent Lecavalier will undergo knee surgery on his left knee but expects to be ready for training camp. According to Erik Erlendsson of the Tampa Tribune, “he [Lecavalier] reported some discomfort in the knee, so team opted to have it cleaned up.” Knee injuries can always be tricky when it comes to lacing [...]

A few weeks ago we released an arbitration list which named the players ready to do battle with their employers. From that list a vast majority settled with the exception of Stanley Cup winner Antti Niemi. Let’s take a short look at who settled and who is still prepared to go to war: James Wisniewski [...]

The Flyers cleared out some valuable cap room by dealing Simon Gagne to the Tampa Bay Lightning on Monday for defenseman Matt Walker and a 2011 4th round pick. Gagne delivers a hefty $5.25-million cap hit – equivalent to Martin St. Louis – but if he stays healthy, Tampa may have one of the deadliest [...]

Tampa GM Steve Yzerman was busy at work, Friday, bringing in one of the better offensive defensemen available in Pavel Kubina at $3.85-million a year for two years. Kubina returns to the team where he spent 8 seasons after they drafted him in the 7th round in 1996. However, Kubina’s most offensive days actually came [...]

Despite Pierre McGuire believing Kurtis Foster made too much, the 28-year-old will don the Copper and Blue for a 1.8 million annual fee. One thing is entirely certain: Kurtis Foster can score goals. He scored on Minnesota and playing with an incredibly talented powerplay unit in Tampa Bay he scored eight goals and finished with [...]

Two years after losing his starting job to Pekka Rinne, goaltender Dan Ellis signed with the Tampa Bay Lightning. At this point we will not know whether he landed a starting role or will tandem with incumbent Mike Smith but he should see some added time between the pipes. Interestingly enough, the two split time [...]

Leaving better goaltending potential on the open market, San Jose locked up goaltender Antero Niittymaki for two years at $2-million a piece. Last season with Tampa Bay, Niittymaki posted a 21-18-5 record and 2.87 GAA while mostly splitting time with Mike Smith. Digging a little deeper, though, we see that Niittymaki closed out the season [...]

Deal away Ryan Parent for essentially nothing? No problem for Flyers GM Paul Holmgren who swapped a second round pick in next year’s draft for Andrej Meszaros. Meszaros, 24, comes in at a very reasonable $4-million per year until 2014 and will easily find himself a role on the Flyers powerplay. We’re hoping the move [...]

Offensive Corps: Standout sophomore Steven Stamkos scored early and scored often thanks to his gifted playmaking linemate Martin St. Louis. The 19-year-old center pushed Vincent Lecavalier to a second line role with his dynamic goal scoring and energy. Both St. Louis and Stamkos finished in the top tier of point producers with 94 and 95 [...]

The best way to describe this list is if you go to the waiver wire in your individual fantasy league (personally, I use Yahoo!) and find that Alexei Ponikarovsky, Tim Connolly, or Ryan Clowe are all available, this list is not for you. The Value 25 is a watch list intended for deep fantasy league [...]
