The Tampa bay Lightning have announced that they have signed right wing Ryan Shannon to a one-year contract worth $625,000 and left wing Alexandre Picard to a one-year, two-way contract. The financial terms of his deal were not disclosed. In 79 games last season with the Ottawa Senators, Shannon had 11 goals and 16 assists for 27 points. Picard appeared in 59 games last season with San Antonio of the AHL, scoring 24 goals and 22 assists for 46 points and 84 penalty minutes. Shannon is a decent signing for the Lightning, as he will bring some two-way skill and versatility to the forward lines. Look for him to start the season on the third line. Picard adds some energy and grit to the forward lines, but will likely spend much of next season in the minors.

Seantors Sign Ryan Shannon to One-Year Contract
The Ottawa Senators have announced that they have signed right wing Ryan Shannon to a one-year contract extension worth $625,000. In 55 games so far this season with the Senators, he has five goals and 11 assists for 16 points. In 170 career NHL games with the Anaheim Ducks, Vancouver Canucks, and Ottawa Senators, he has 20 goals and 40 assists for 60 points. Not a bad signing for the Senators, as Shannon has been a reliable third-line forward for the team. Plus, at $625,000, he is a very affordable signing for the team for next season.

Senators Sign Shannon to One-Year Extension
The Ottawa Senators have announced that they have re-signed right wing Ryan Shannon to a one-year contract extension. Terms of the deal were undisclosed. He would have been a restricted free agent this summer. In 35 games this past season, Shannon scored eight goals and 12 assists for 20 points. In 115 career games, he has 15 goals and 29 assists for 44 points with the Anaheim Ducks, Vancouver Canucks, and Ottawa Senators. This is a decent signing for the Senators as Shannon is a decent two-way player who is good on the power play. With the Senators beginning to rebuild their team, he will be a decent player for their checking lines and power play.

Senators Acquire Shannon from Canucks
The Ottawa Senators gained some potential scoring depth to their line-up today as they have acquired RW Ryan Shannon from the Vancouver Canucks in exchange for D Lawrence Nycholat. Shannon scored five goals and added eight assists for 13 points last season with the Canucks in 27 games. Nycholat, whom the Senators acquired from Washington in 2007, went scoreless in only three games with the Senators last season. He spent the rest of the season with Ottawa's AHL affiliate in Binghamton, where he scored 12 goals and added 37 assists for 49 points in 77 games.
The trade could be good for Ottawa down the road, as Shannon has the potential to be a scoring winger, something the Senators have been desperately seeking. While he has produced good numbers at the minor league level, Shannon still has to prove himself at the NHL level. Nycholat will likely play most of next season in the minors, as the Canucks appear set on their blueline. The downside for the Canucks is that they have traded a potential scoring forward, which is something the team is seeking right now.
