Assigned to AHL
The Lightning assigned Nieves to AHL Syracuse on Friday.
ANALYSIS
Nieves signed a one-year, two-way contract with Tampa Bay on Tuesday and was subsequently waived for the purpose of reassignment. The 26-year-old forward has accrued 76 games of NHL experience over the past four campaigns, so it wouldn't be surprising to see him join the Lightning's taxi squad at some point this season, but he'll head to the minors for now.

Nieves is on a tryout with the Lightning at the time of this writing, with no guarantee that will lead to a contract for the 2020-21 season. He had no points in four games with the Rangers last year after posting 10 points in 43 outings the year before. Nieves doesn't have much potential in the fantasy game, as he's not likely to see more than very limited fourth-line minutes if he does make Tampa's Opening Night roster. He posted 27 points in 43 games with AHL Hartford in 2019-20 -- that's solid, but unspectacular in the minor leagues. Fantasy managers can pass on Nieves without hesitation.
