Lightning Sign Tom Pyatt to One-Year Deal

The Tampa Bay Lightning have announced that they have signed center Tom Pyatt to a one-year, two-way contract worth $525,000 at the NHL level. In 61 games last season with the Montreal Canadiens, he had two goals and five assists for seven points. This is an okay depth signing for the Lightning, as Pyatt will bring plenty of speed and versatility to the lineup. However, he is not a big point producing forward at the NHL level, so he will likely play a fourth line role with Tampa Bay next season.
