Joe Smith of the Tampa Bay Times: The Lightning being able to trade for defenseman Erik Karlsson might be a pipe dream, but it’s not an impossibility.
The Senators have said they don’t want to trade, but what if they get an offer that they can’t refuse?
Detroit Red Wings rental defenseman Mike Green could be another option for the Lightning.
If the Lightning were to go after Karlsson, they could offer the Senators Vladislav Namestnikov or Tyler Johnson, a prospect like Taylor Raddysh, a draft pick or two, and maybe a defenseman like Jake Dotchin or Slater Koekkoek.
