Confirmed with Link: [TBL/EDM/ANA] Lightning trade Ty Taylor, a 7th rd pick, and retain 25% of Henrique's contract for conditional 4th round pick from Edmonton

[Mikeaveli]

How did we end up losing this trade? Lol

 

[JTBF81]

You forget our track record with 4th rounders?

Once more for those who are still confused: JBB spent $1.4 million of Vinik’s money and got a 4th round pick for the low low price of a 7th rounder and some goalie prospect you’ve never heard of and probably never will hear about again

Why the complaints? Is it just a gag reflex on this site?

Tampa also sent a 5th to Anaheim in the deal I believe. A 5th, 7th and a minor contract for a 4th isn't a bad deal, but the complaints are because in addition JBB ate 1.4 in cap space that could've been used to possibly add someone else. Of course the added 4th could be used in another trade, but on the surface it doesn't look to be that good of a use if cap by Tampa.

4th rounder isn't too too bad for absorbing salary and sending 7th + a no-name prospect the other way.

Ty Taylor isn't even under contract. He's just on the reserve list forever.

Reminds of Kyle Quincy without the first for Vasy

 

[Five Alarm Fire]

Ah okay, not giving up the 5th makes way more sense. I’m good with this deal.

 

[Master P]

JBB could trade a 7th rd pick for McDavid and there are people here who would still complain.

 

[ccman68]

i still have no idea what we sent. every place i look says a different thing

 

[DFC]

You're really not a fan of his huh. All you do is whine about him

In this case... we made a fairly standard trade up, and then also retained salary.

 

[Todd1a]

Use the pick and send sheary out of here now JBB lol

 

[DFC]

Carolina did the same thing, I don't think JBB would interject himself in this trade for just a 4th unless that fourth is used for something. Just seems absolutely useless. UNLESS he has decided to stand pat this year, just ride it out, and is just maximizing the extra LTIR space by accumulating higher picks. Doubtful, but its another theory. Waste no dollar.

Still seems like more/less zero value on the retention. Traded two picks for one.

If we were that desperate for a 4th, the cupboard must be even dryer than I'm thinking.

We sent one limb worth of Tanner Jeannot to keep 25% of Henriques contract to get a 4th. This should be easier to understand.

Different sites give different summaries, but the Lightning spent:

Ty Taylor (reserve list goalie)
and $1.5m in cap

for a 4th round pick.

Any 5th or 7th rounders were between Anaheim and Edmonton.

 

[b0lthed]

We traded a 7th and $1.5m for a 4th

THATS IT! Thats the deal. Sheesh

 

[LightningStrikes]

If we’re not using the $1.5M sure why not, free 4th round pick.

How dare you not allow people to have their outrages??? Coming here with your reasonable facts. You asshole.

no. someone must win. and someone must lose. it's HF tradition

 

[Rschmitz]

Pretty fruitful way of using that extra cap space we have with Sergachev LTIR'd

If we have absolutely no desire to acquire anyone, I'd be happy with several more of these deals to be honest.

BTW....I'm a big fan of Ryan Johansen. We are in a unique position to give him a contract if Philly releases him....he'd be an excellent addition to our middle 6 IMO.

Ty Taylor might end up as Tim Thomas. They're both goalies and have the same initials.

Go. Enjoy.

THATS IT! Thats the deal. Sheesh

According to various sources on X we didn’t trade a pick. $1.5M in cap space and Ty Taylor for a 2025 4th round pick (becomes 2026 4th round pick if Edmonton wins the Cup).

Edit: Here’s the team statement:

Lightning acquire fourth-round draft pick | Tampa Bay Lightning

Tampa Bay sends unsigned goalie Ty Taylor to Anaheim in exchange for Edmonton's 2025 fourth-round pick

[JTBF81]

If it's just a 7th and the retention for a 4th, it's more in line, and since a likely '26 4th is getting used in another trade anyway, it'll work out no doubt.

CapFriendly has it right, and the Lightning have it right (hopefully).

Daily Faceoff still has it wrong.

PuckPedia has its own cap relief calculator, put together by a former Arizona Coyotes guy, and the price for $1.4m in cap relief equates to a 60th overall pick.

We maybe could have gotten a little more.

 

[JTBF81]

According to CF, now it's just Taylor and the retention for the 4th in either '25 but likely '26. It's a much better deal for Tampa than earlier info indicated.

Makes more sense than the 7th + 5th that was being reported.

If that was the case be would be immortalized under the ice when he dies.
