The Tampa Bay Lightning didn’t do anything at the trade deadline this year, which makes sense because they have been one of the best teams in the NHL all season. They have unique depth. They have too many NHL forwards to get everyone minutes. They have the same problem but to a lesser extent on the blueline. The team didn’t need to add anything. I’m sure they did their due diligence checking on players who might help but they obviously didn’t find anything they liked.
Joe Smith gave the official news that they hadn’t made a move around 3:15 ET.
