We’re just going to have to keep trusting in JBB. The Lightning general manager did it again late Sunday night as he traded Cal Foote and a flotilla of draft picks to Nashville for Tanner Jeannot, a big, heavy forward that finished 7th in the Calder Trophy voting a year ago. That deal capped off a day that saw four other trades, with three of them involving depth forwards being exchanged.
At first blush it’s a wild overpay for a player that will likely only see the ice for 10-12 minutes a game, but Mr. BriseBois has never been shy about backing up the draft pick truck when it comes to getting a player he wants.
