Pierre LeBrun: Have been hearing that the Tampa Bay Lightning have talked to Tyler Johnson‘s reps about working together on a potential move.
Johnson has a full no-trade clause.
Brian Lawton: “This is yr NTC will really hurt clubs. You would think logically the club will ask Johnson NTC, Gourde NTC Killorn limited No Trade, Palat NTC & then out of options to reduce enough AAV to matter. These are tough ?’s. Salary Cap repercussions @NHLBlackhawks did it”
David Pagnotta: Lightning’s Johnson, Ondrej Palat, Yanni Gourde and Braydon Coburn all have a full no-trade clause.
