Stamkos (knee) is ready for training camp, adding that his ailment is "night and day" better than it was at the end of last year, Joe Smith of the Tampa Bay Times reports.

EDGE Analysis

With Stamkos, who's been out since electing for mid-November knee surgery, noting that he isn't facing any kind of restrictions ahead of training camp, this should leave his fantasy stock soaring. The prolific pivot has sustained three significant ailments in the past four years, allowing winger Nikita Kucherov -- who tacked on 85 points in 74 games last season -- to hog the spotlight in Tampa Bay. However, Stammer's very nearly averaged a point per game since he entered the league in 2008-09, which makes the 2008 first-overall pick a worthy gamble in the early rounds of fantasy drafts.
