The 26-year-old forward joined SC Bern as of last season and scored 61 points in 62 games for them. His contract with the Bears runs through 2017. However, he has a valid out-clause for the NHL and will thus be able to join the Bolts, who he had already played for in the 2012-13 season.
Conacher's contract is worth $575,000. The Canadian will thus get another chance to establish himself as a regular NHL player. He has appeared in 149 NHL games for the Lightning, the Ottawa Senators, the Buffalo Sabres and the New York Islanders. (mso)
So exciting to be back to where it all began! #bolts @TBLightning
