With free agency well under way, the spotlight is once again on the Tampa Bay Lightning as word is getting out that Jon Cooper could be looking to make a statement with a very bold move to the blue line.
NHL Trade Rumors insider Nick Kypreos reported that the Jon Cooper could be looking to trade 2x Stanley Cup Champion and $74 million veteran defenseman, Ryan McDonagh. And this wouldn’t be the first time the Lightning have parted ways with McDonagh either.
The 36-year old spent the first eight seasons of his career with the New York Rangers before being traded to the Lightning in February 2018.
