Trades:
Jonathan Drouin, Andrej Sustr and 2017 3rd round pick to Colorado for Tyson Barrie and Joe Colborne
I have a feeling that Jonathan Drouin will be moved this summer. Outside of Stamkos, Hedman and Kucherov, Drouin will generate the most return. Not only that but I still feel there are bad feelings amongest Cooper/Yzerman and Drouin, infact Drouin was part of a deal that would of sent him to St.Louis for Kevin Shattenkirk which Shattenkirk rejected.
In return the Lightning get a top 4 puckmoving defensman in Tyson Barrie who has 3 years left on his deal at $5.5 mill per year. They also get Colborne who is a very similar sort of player to Brian Boyle. He's 6"5, 220lbs, can play all 3 forward positions and play in all sitations (PP & PK), he's a nice bottom 6 versatile player.
Jason Garrison to Nashville for a 2017 3rd round pick
Nashville are looking good so far in the playoffs but I do believe they will fall up short therefore looking to improve in the summer. Nashville have a very good top 4 but lack depth behind that so they bring Garrison to be their #5 defenseman and provide insurance if one of there top 4 dmen (Josi, Subban, Ekholm & Ellis get injuried. Tampa get back a 3rd round pick which the lost in the Drouin/Barrie trade and gain some need cap space.
Matheiu Joseph and a 2018 3rd round to New Jersey for John Moore
The Lightning added one top 4 with the Barrie in the Drouin now they add another one with John Moore. Moore is coming a really good season with the Devils with 12G and 10A in 63GP and has 1 year at $1.6 mill on his deal which is very cheap for a top 4 defensman.
Pending UFA's & RFA's
Ondrej Palat signs a 6 year deal worth $31.5 million ($5.25 AAV)
Tyler Johnson signs a 5 year deal worth $23.75 million ($4.75 AAV)
Jake Dotchin signs a 2 year deal woth $2.5 million ($1.25 AAV)
Peter Budaj signs a 2 year deal worth $2 million ($1 AAV)
Luke Witkowski signs a 1 year deal worth 700K
Greg McKegg signs a year deal worth 700k
Ondrej Palat got off to a very slow start but showed down the strech what a key player he is for this team. Tyler Johnson had another injury plauged season but is a core player of this team. Dotchin really suprised a lot of people last year, certainely a diamond in the rough. Budaj was just ok for the Lightning but think he's a nice vet to have round Vasy. Witkowski is a nice character player to have in the room and provide some toughness and McKegg is a cheap extra player who you can plug in the 4th line with injuries.
