As the college hockey season has narrowed its way down to the sixteen teams competing in the Frozen Four NCAA championship games, expect a lot of drafted prospects on teams that didn’t make it start signing their entry-level contracts. The Tampa Bay Lightning shored up the services of one of their 2021 draft picks, Cooper Flinton, with a two-year ELC the club announced on Monday.
Cooper, who is also referred to as Robert on some sites, is a 21-year-old forward who was taken in the seventh round of the 2021 season and has played at Dartmouth over the past three years.
