Ryan S. Clark of The Athletic: One executive doesn’t know what the Tampa Bay Lightning would have done to get cap compliant if they weren’t able to put Nikita Kucherov on the LTIR.
“I think with Kucherov, if he was not hurt, I don’t know what they have for draft capital but they already put Johnson through waivers. I don’t know what they would have done. You’re scouring around the reserve lists and LTIR and you look at someone like Marian Hossa. He has a year left on his.
