Late Wednesday night, the Tampa Bay Lightning completed a trade with the Anaheim Ducks, seeing 23-year-old Alexander Volkov going to California and 22-year-old Antoine Morand arriving in Florida. Morand was a late second round pick for Anaheim in 2017, coming out of the QMJHL. Included in the trade was a seventh-round pick in 2023 (three drafts from now) that has the condition of being delayed to 2024 if the Ducks don’t own the pick by then. In all honesty, I don’t know why that pick was included.
You can read a chronicling of the trade as it developed in Justin’s article that we published last night.
