The Tampa Bay Lightning have lost the trade deadline arms race in the Atlantic Division with a few days to go before the trade deadline. Julien BriseBois shot his shot on Tanner Jeannot, who is probably going to work well on the third or fourth line but is limited in his impact. And he’s all they got after essentially trading away an entire season’s draft class.
On the north side of the arms race, the Bolts direct rival in Toronto sent away the same picks, plus an extra first, and got back four players to bolster the team, including a top-six forward and a top-four defender.
