The big news yesterday was post-worthy, so I broke down the Daniel Carcillo trade here, and the Dustin Penner signing here. So there goes half my ramblings material for a typical summer day…
*
And while I’m linking to things, here is my latest for The Hockey News – my offseason fantasy outlook for the Los Angeles Kings and the Minnesota Wild.
*
The Lightning signed prospect defenseman Mark Barberio to a one-year deal. It’s a two-way agreement, meaning he’ll likely be sent down for most of the season ahead.
One defenseman I like making this team though is Andrej Sustr – a 6-8 defenseman who was signed as a free agent out of college. He got a taste of the NHL (two games, plus-1) and had three points in eight AHL games. You can read the DobberProspects profile on Sustr right here. And while I’m at it, here is Barberio’s profile.
And, if you didn’t know, my Fantasy Prospects List links each name in the chart to the profile of that player over at DP. Click it, try it out.

The Winnipeg Jets signed Eric Tangradi to a two-year contract. The deal avoids arbitration. Both years are one-way. The Jets also signed Patrice Cormier, who has seen his prospect star fall over the last three or four years.
