Four years ago, on February 26th, 2018, the Tampa Bay Lightning made a blockbuster trade with the New York Rangers at the trade deadline. In the deal, the Lightning acquired defenseman Ryan McDonagh and forward J.T. Miller in exchange for forward Vladislav Namestnikov, prospects Brett Howden and Libor Hajek, a 2018 first round pick, and a 2019 conditional first or second round pick that became a second round pick with the Lightning failing to win the Stanley Cup in 2018 or 2019.
A lot has happened in the last four years. The Lightning made it to an Eastern Conference Finals, falling to the eventual Stanley Cup winning Washington Capitals.
