Player Notes
June 29, 2008
Ryan Malone has agreed to a seven-year, $31.5 million contract with the Lightning, TSN.ca reports. His exclusive negotiating right were traded to the Lightning on Saturday. Malone notched 27 goals and 24 assists over 77 games for the Penguins last season.

Our View:Looks who cashed in on a career year, huh? Malone is primed to continue his ascent as an all-around force up front, though just how high his ceiling is is unclear.

The NHL free agent market is as fresh as can be, but the Tampa Bay Lightning have wasted no time getting busy, according to TSN.ca. TSN is reporting the Lightning have traded a fourth-round draft pick to the Pittsburgh Penguins in exchange for the negotiation rights to forwards Ryan Malone and Gary Roberts, scheduled to become unrestricted free agents on July 1.

Our View:Sources say if the Lightning were to sign Malone, the more coveted free agent of the two, the fourth-round pick would become a third-round pick. Malone has indicated he intends to go to July 1 to see what the market would bear for his services. Whether this development changes that remains to be seen. It is more likely the Lightning may be able to sign the veteran Roberts, who said during the playoffs that he intended to play again but knew it would not be for the Penguins.

It appears that potential unrestricted free agent Ryan Malone may be paddling down the Ohio river into Columbus come draft day. The Penguins winger has garnered interest from several teams. However the Blue Jackets are more than willing to give up their second and third round picks in exchange for Malone, given that they already have two first round picks.

Our View:Columbus should then have the opportunity to draft a franchise blueliner sixth overall, such as Luke Schenn, and perhaps a long term project forward with their 19th overall selection. Coach Ken Hitchcock will have plenty to work with in the very near future.
