Tampa Bay Lightning trade options heading into the draft

The NHL draft starts tonight in Dallas and the Tampa Bay Lightning do not have a pick in the first round...yet. Steve Yzerman and the front office still have plenty of time to make a trade into the first round, if they wanted to. They likely have several spots identified where they would be willing to make a deal for the right price, and whether those deals happen will come down to which players are available at those spots.

The Lightning have assets that could get them back into the first round if that’s what they want to do.
