[Signing] Lightning sign Cory Conacher (1yr, 1 way, $575k)

[sureLoss]

interesting signing. Conacher returns to the organization he broke out with at NHL minimum.

Lightning had traded Conacher to the Senators for Bishop. He fell hard after that. Was playing in Switzerland last season.

Lightning have signed Cory Conacher to a one-year, one-way contract worth $575,000.

They win the Ben Bishop trade.

This was the master plan the entire time!

Low risk signing at a great price

Conacher had that one surprising breakout (half) season in Tampa, collected 24 points in 35 games. Didn't do much after the trade to Ottawa.
His teammates in Bern last year included former Sabres scorer Derek Roy and...Chuck Kobasew.

Brief little stint with the Sabres when we were desperate for anyone that might do something good. He was unimpressive (but the whole team was pretty miserable that year, so who knows).

What a god awful trade for Ottawa.
