Lightning Round: Trading for the sake of trading doesn’t make sense

On Monday, Joe Smith and Max Bultman from The Athletic got together and spitballed some possible trades between the Tampa Bay Lightning and the Detroit Red Wings. On one hand it makes sense, the Red Wings have cap space and are rebuilding. They could shed some useful players in exchange for draft picks or prospects while absorbing a large contract as well. General Manager Steve Yzerman has a working knowledge of the Lightning’s pipeline since he was in charge when a bunch of the prospects were drafted. On the other hand, is it worth it for the Lightning to trade their future for Luke Glendening?
