Steven Stamkos could not be happier as he was signed to an entry level contract with the Tampa Bay Lightning. Stamkos was selected 1st overall in the 2008 Entry Draft and has dreamed one of one day playing in the NHL. Well he edged closer to that dream as he was signed to a signed a three-year, $2.625 million contract that could be worth up to $11.175 million with incentives.
Each week, from now until the Draft, I will be profiling a new prospect from the Draft Pool and analyzing how their skills might or might not make them a good fit for the New York Islanders.
With all the misfortune suffered by the New York Islanders this past season, their loyal supporters could be excused for fervently wishing that Lady Luck might perhaps shine on them and grant their team a boon in the form of winning the Draft Lottery and granting them the #1 overall pick. Predictably, Lady Luck spurned them once again…and laughed while she did it.
