The Tyler Johnson era is officially over in Tampa Bay as the Lightning trade him and a 2023 second-round pick to the Chicago Blackhawks.
“He played a pivotal role in the success the team has enjoyed and will forever be remembered as two-time Stanley Cup champion with the Bolts. We wish him all the best in Chicago,” GM Julien BriseBois said in a statement following the trade.
