Forward Alex Killorn signs a seven year contract with the Tampa Bay Lightning

Steve Yzerman continues to sign the club's young players to long term contracts.

The Lightning have signed forward Alex Killorn to a seven-year contract at an average annual value of $4.45MM. The contract includes a no-movement clause that begins following the 2016-17 season. Killorn was a key member of the Lightning's top line along with Steven Stamkos and Ryan Callahan during the teams run to the Stanley Cup final in 2015. Last season, Killorn split time playing on the first and second lines.

Killorn tied for fourth on the team in points last season with 40, which matched the total of Ondrej Palat.
