Milan Lucic signs a PTO with the St. Louis Blues as the NHL ladder tightens after his reinstatement following completion of the NHL/NHLPA Player Assistance Program. The move adds veteran heft to STL’s camp competition, with Lucic aiming for a late-season push. In separate moves, the Belleville Senators sign Danny Katic to a one-year, two-way deal, while Alex Gagne joins the Avalanche on a two-year entry-level pact after going unsigned by Tampa Bay. Hudson Fasching signs with Columbus on a one-year deal after 43 games with the Islanders. Rumors swirl around training camps with Pittsburgh, Florida, Minnesota, and Toronto connected to potential moves. Fantasy angle: every roster shuffle creates late-round depth opportunities and potential breakout paths in fantasy leagues, especially for players with versatility and a strong work ethic.
