Stamkos injury really killed the lightning this season, I thought for sure that Tampa would be one of the teams in the east finals this season.
Now Yzerman is tearing Tampa down, 1st Bishop then Boyle, Johnson will probably be gone too.
Wanted the Flyers to go after Bish but Hextall doesn't want to give up any assets to get Bishop.
I think this just proves that Stamkos' injury is taking longer to heal than hoped. It went from he'd be back in March to he may play sometime this season. If he was due back soon, Yzerman may have held off.
And I'm not buying the Johnson trade rumor, unless if its with Nashville for a defensemen. We dont have anyone in our system to replace him, like we did with Bishop and Boyle. I could see Filpula being traded, which would be massive to get him off the books.
