The Tampa Bay Lightning closed out their Trade Deadline with a minor move to re-acquire Riley Nash from the Arizona Coyotes. Nash cleared waivers this afternoon, meaning the Lightning can call him up for free when the rosters expand, alongside players like Gemel Smith and Alex Barre-Boulet. The return is the ever-famous “Future Considerations.”
Nash has gone between Columbus, Toronto, Winnipeg, Tampa Bay, Arizona, and now back to Tampa Bay in the last two years. He was pointless in his trips through Toronto, Winnipeg, and Tampa Bay 1.0, but got four assists on Arizona in 24 games.
